The property, which also features a library, three-car garage and workshop, was purchased and built for $130,000.
And wouldn't building a home require considerably more immediate cost than a typical mortgage?

Even she got a construction loan, those appear to require a considerably downpayment and interest and much more immediate repayment.

So it appears she essentially needed $130,000 cash on hand, far more than the cost of a mortgage in that same time period.

Nothing about this story seems reasonable.

If she had just said she and kids did what they could like x,y, & z and contracted out things she felt too dangerous and uncomfortable with she'd get more props than scrutiny. But they are selling a lie.

If they've got video of a 13 year on scaffolding laying brick/mortar with another sibling throwing up brick to stack, doing decking on roof, doing soffits and gutters, using a blowtorch on plumbing, etc...Not a stillshot, i'll retract.
