How to Make your First $100k+ Profit Building a Home (Step by Step)

If you’ve ever wanted to build a house but thought you needed a construction background, perfect credit, or hundreds of thousands of dollars to get started, this video is for you. In this video, I’m breaking down the exact 5-step process I use to build homes that can generate $100,000+ in profit, and I’m showing you two different ways you can get your first deal done, even if you’re starting from scratch. One option is to generate your startup capital by helping other builders and contractors bring in business, then using those commissions to fund your first project. The second option is how many of my students get started. I’ll show you how to secure a lot, pay for the initial due diligence like surveys, architecture, engineering, and site work, then structure your construction financing so you can recover those upfront costs once your loan closes. You don’t need to be an architect. You don’t need to be a general contractor. You don’t need years of construction experience. And in many cases, you don’t even need perfect credit. I’ve had hundreds of students build profitable homes using these exact principles, including people who had little experience, limited cash, and even poor credit. Many of them have gone on to make anywhere from $80,000 to nearly $300,000 on a single project. This isn’t theory. This is the same system I’ve used to build hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate. This video is also the beginning of a complete 12-week home building series. Over the next 12 weeks, I’m going to walk you through every major step of the process in chronological order, including: • Finding profitable lots • Financing your first build • Plans, engineering, and entitlements • Site work and utilities • Foundations and concrete • Framing and going vertical • Plumbing, HVAC, and electrical • Interior and exterior finishes • Staging and selling • How to maximize your profit on every project By the end of this series, you’ll understand exactly how a home gets built from raw land all the way to closing, whether your goal is to build your first investment property or scale into a serious real estate development business.
