This mission of providing new homes under $200k is exactly what I am going to do.

My goal is do one before the end of the year. The key to making it work is compassionate capitalism.

Instead of putting the house on the market at the going rate, I going to mark it up only $20k more than my costs - just a little more than 10% of final sale price.

If you are interested in earning 10% interest for year on either $50k or $100k and help two working class families get an affordable home, reach out to me.

Even if you not interested investing but want to hear me.

Read about how another community is doing.
