Excerpt from Get Your Own Home: The Co-Operative Way
If you are in the middle-to-low income brackets, you have undoubtedly discovered that you cannot afford to build your own home. The few families that have built are saddled with unbearable mortgages and carrying charges. No - you and millions of other Americans can't swing it. Not by yourself, you can't.
But it may surprise you to learn that more than 30,000 families all over the U. S. have built their own homes - families with very limited capital. They've done it merely by banding together into groups, or co-operatives, in order to purchase their land jointly, obtain materials in large quantities, and contract as a unit for architectural and building services, and for equipment and furnishings.
This book is simply the actual story of how some of these groups built homes of their own at savings of hundreds to thousands of dollars. No detail of planning and financing is omitted. Mistakes are treated as fully as successful achievements. The groups range in size from six families to several hundred. In composition, they range from literally penniless miners and farm laborers to university professors, architects, scientists, engineers and businessmen.
