A 48-page easy to read ebook that describes the many advantages of building your own home without the help of contractors. It explains how we’ve become financially crippled by easy credit and how the inflation of home prices has caused the housing crisis.
The author says you can cut your mortgage by 2/3 if you build your own home.
He also says that each construction worker ends up costing $200/hour after paying for all the interest on a mortgage.
That site links to a page that says to download it for free. Not sure why the other site is asking for $1.

Maybe he decided to give it away at some point.
He also puts the text on his website so you don’t have to download it.

Update: This is a very fun, easy to read ebook with lots of practical advice. Highly recommended. Now imagine doing the same thing except with low cost natural building materials. You’d save even more money.
