Make money by becoming an HGTV and DIY star!

We have recently blogged about lakefront properties and moving houses.  If you have been inspired by our step by step plans on how to buy lakefront property and move a house... this blog will help you out even more.  While developing your dream house you can make money by being featured on HGTV.

HGTV has a show that is called Design Star.  But for this show you actually have to be good at interior designs.

A much easier way to become your own HGTV star is to move a house to your lake front property, fix it up and be featured on all of the networks shows.

Haulin house: This will definitely be the first one you want to be featured on.  If you are on this show I'm pretty sure they pay for the move as well as pay you big bucks to be featured on their show.

Dream house: spend your entire life savings, ruin your marriage and family relations making your dream house a reality.

Once your house has been hauled, rock patio built, and dream house underway you can coordinate with some of the other HGTV hosts to have a competition fixing up your rooms.  Once again, I'm pretty sure they will pay you to be on the show as well as pay for everything!  They might even like you so much they will ask you to be a guest host on their show with them.

After you get everything fixed up to your liking... call Genevieve and she will help you compete against your neighbors fixing up your house even more.

Once you have finished everything you would like to... there will probably be a couple of projects you just didn't seem to finish, this is were Over Your Head comes in handy.  They will come in and fix up the mess you made for you.

There are a lot of other HGTV and DIY shows I'm sure you would be eligible to participate in.  Like I said before they will most likely pay for everything to be done and pay you tons of money to be on TV.  Congratulations, you have now turned your worst investment (i.e. lakefront property) into the best investment of your life and in the meantime become an HGTV star and can live in your very own Dream house!

Howtomakeadollar is planning on moving a house onto our lakefront property.  If you would like to help out, please let us know, we sure could use some extra people to help us push the house 14 miles.  We will keep you updated with our attempt to be on all of the above mentioned tv shows.

Make money by moving a house to your lake front property

If by chance you did not heed the warning from our last blog about ways to save money by not buying lakefront property... this blog is for you.  This is a step by step plan on how to turn your lakefront property into the best investment of your lifetime!

Step 1: Buy lakefront property... specifically this one.  

This plan is geared for a lot on Leesville Lake in Altavista VA... but can be done anywhere.  Actually you don't really need to buy land... just find a random piece of property on a random lake and continue with the step by step plan.

Step 2:  Find a house.

Since you have a piece of land and no house... you can't really use your lakefront property very often.  So it is important to put a house on it.  Building a house is a big hassle and it usually costs more than you expect.  That is why you should find a house and move it onto your lot.  Moving an old run down house and fixing it up is much easier, more economical, environmentally friendly, and will definitely cost less than you expect.

To make this plan easier for you... we have found a house that is within 15 miles of the above mentioned lot on leesville lake.  The house we found (pictured above) is located on Hughes Ave only 14 miles away.  The price of the house is only $49,300.  That includes the land the house is sitting on.  I'm pretty sure the land would probably be worth more with the house off of it than with the house on it.  So buy the house and land, move the house, and sell the land for $49,300 and there you go... a free house!

Step 3: Move the house.
This is probably the easiest part of the process.  How hard could it be to move a house?  I'm pretty sure you can do this with some logs and donkeys.  Put the logs next to the house, strap the donkeys to the house, pull the house onto the logs and roll it all the way to the lake.  We have even mapped out the route to help you.

Step 4: Fix up the house. (optional)
Now that you have moved the house and dropped it onto your lakefront property you are good to go.  Enjoy!  Most Home Owner Associations really like old run down houses in their developments.  But, if you don't like living in a run down house, go to home depot buy some nails and putty.  That should be about all you need.  Congratulations, you have just turned the worst investment of your life into the best!
