The New York Times has published an article on its home-building website titled How to Build Your First Home.
The article explains how to make your first-floor apartment a home and a place to gather family and friends.
The project guide includes the steps needed to build a home on your own, and the site also explains how the building process might vary depending on your city.
The article explains that some cities will require that you pay the developer to build the house, while others will allow you to buy the house and do it yourself.
