We Built Our Own House – Here's How⎥Ep. 2180
Dan and Marie from Wellington took on a challenge most Kiwis wouldn’t dare – they built not one, but two of their own homes. In this episode, they share the ups and downs of going DIY, what they’d never do again, and how that hands-on experience shaped their journey into property investing.
You’ll learn:
- What really happens when you pick up the hammer and try to build your own home
- Why they shifted from DIY builds to investing in new-builds (and why Christchurch was their pick)
- How they’re now balancing family life, a new business, and the goal of $100k in passive income
This is a story about building wealth in every sense of the word – from bricks and mortar to financial freedom.
