Gospel singer and pastor Size 8, known offstage as Linet Munyali, has shared the exciting progress of her dream mansion, giving fans a sneak peek into her journey of building a home from scratch. The beautiful property is nearing completion, and the lush greenery in the front yard adds a vibrant touch to the luxurious space.
Size 8 and her husband, DJ Mo, recently renewed their vows in a glamorous ceremony and are now focused on moving their family into their new home. During a visit by fellow artist Benachi and his wife Joan, the couple offered a mini tour of their soon-to-be-finished house. The elegant white walls and spacious design sparked excitement and admiration, especially among fans inspired by their bold step into homeownership.
In a candid conversation with Joan, Size 8 shared valuable insights and lessons learned along the way. She emphasized the importance of building a house rather than buying one, noting that building allows you to customize the space to your needs, from the layout to the location. According to her, one of the biggest mistakes she and DJ Mo made was continuing to live in their upscale rented home in Lavington instead of moving to a more affordable space while their house was under construction.
She explained that had they chosen to downgrade temporarily, they could have redirected the extra funds into their construction budget, making the process smoother. “The biggest problem we did is that we never downgraded. The moment we started building this house, we should have gone to a much cheaper house. Where we are renting, we should have gone to half the price,” she shared.
Size 8 encouraged anyone planning to build a home to consider cutting back on non-essential expenses. She advised people not to worry about public perception when making financial adjustments. For instance, if you own a car that you rarely use, selling it could free up money for construction. Her message was clear: it’s not about living like you’re struggling but about being strategic and intentional to achieve long-term goals.
Even though the couple didn’t downsize their rental home, they found other ways to save. She revealed that they cut down on clothing expenses and other lifestyle costs, allowing them to put more resources into their building project.
Her practical advice resonated with many fans, especially those who are either planning to build or currently constructing their own homes. Many appreciated her honesty and transparency, saying it helped them gain a better understanding of how to handle a housing project without breaking the bank.
Several social media users chimed in with their own stories and experiences. One individual shared that building slowly without relying on bank loans helped them avoid paying high-interest rates for non-revenue-generating property. Another praised Size 8’s wisdom, while someone else talked about how they were building their three-bedroom house while still maintaining a modest lifestyle.
Others echoed her advice not to rush construction, suggesting it’s better to take time and allow room for changes and new ideas. The overall message was clear: building a home is a journey that requires patience, discipline, and financial planning.
Through her story, Size 8 has not only offered a glimpse into her personal life but also empowered others to pursue their own housing dreams with thoughtful and realistic approaches.
