Odd that the couple that has not moved into their tiny home yet, was able to rave about how wonderful it was to live in a tiny home, and how well it worked.
Love it. I downsized from a 3 bedroom home to now 530 square feet. I was hoarding some sentimental stuff. I let most of it go. The depression of constantly dealing with the junk is GONE. I can entertain now and the extra money I have now lets me travel !!!!
Yes. There is a company in Tennessee called Incredible Tiny Homes. They have a very basic model as low as $20,000 all the way up to more expensive custom models. They seem to have better prices than most and offer off grid package options, too.
@@marywood8794 Yes, I follow Randy Jones. He lets you finish out homes he sells as you like. I do like the way the first couple's home is built with two lofts and two stairs, not sure who built there home? They went into showing builders, Decathlon, so not sure ??

That's a great idea but it does kind of defeat the purpose of going tiny lol But def money to be made there for people who don't want to get rid of their furniture that they will never use again lol
It's so weird how the world just Marvels at this right here but there's really not a difference in living like this and living in a trailer park and yet I was made fun of for living in a trailer park...yet the one I lived in was really really nice and kept up
Kids tend to have all-or-nothing thinking patterns. They see one trailer park, that's rundown with drunks and drug addicts, and they think "all" trailer parks are like that. Then you have you adults who are narcissists, and they view everything in the world in terms of social status, and they see trailer parks as the lowest end of social status because before Regan was President, you rarely saw homeless people much less entire tent cities of homeless people like you do now. Thus, trailer parks were often the people who had the least money, and for a narcissist, that means you deserved to be mocked. Narcissists are people like Trump, Musk, Herschel Walker, and Liberace, and those are just some famous narcissists, there are a lot of people who look just like you and me, and some even living in the trailer park, are narcissists. They are always looking for someone to put down so they can feel superior to others. Narcissists always have to have bigger/better/faster/more and they need to live in the "best" zip code, and have the biggest house they can afford, and go to the best schools, driving the newest model car, having the prettiest wife or wealthiest husband. You've met people like this. They've everywhere, especially in states like Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana, Florida, and even California. They are found in every religious community with their holier-than-thou attitude, looking down their noses at others, all so they can feel superior to them. The main theme is having a pathological need to feel superior to others. People like this come in every color, every religion, every political affiliation, every rural community, every big city, and everywhere in between.
This was such a brilliant idea...but like everything the prices sky rocketed. 80k minimum for a tiny plus lot rent at $500 per month. You're still looking at over a thousand dollars per month to live in a shoe box.
16 by 40 footer here 750 square ft shed to house 3 bedroom, bath and kitchen parlor combo conversion built by the Mennonites 11k but financed its about 15k? Done with purchasing and worry with banks on 350k with 2,500 square ft houses forever. Simple low payments of $411 per month and 3 years goes by so quickly we just got here and are almost paid off. Go tiny and think about what you really need. I love having zero bills. ( oh there will ALWAYS be a land tax. ) Now I have to scratch up the $7.12 for it 😉
@@TheWickerShireProject I think that's wonderful...but most people can't build or even convert a tiny on their own. And yours is a small home, not a tiny which are literally selling for $80,000. And that's a good deal. Like I said...brilliant idea but it's becoming gentrified and trendy and no longer a viable option for people in need.
They can also see, that the new owner can jack up the lot rent to whatever the market will bring. I've seen that happening all across California, beginning back in 2005-2006. The communities were not even for sale, but a large investment company went around and offered above-market prices. Owners sold, one by one, and the investment company doubled the lot rent, forcing people to pay thousands to move their mobile home elsewhere or to pay exorbitant fees. They did this slowly, and methodically, buying up one mobile home park after another. Retirees had to abandon their homes if they were on fixed incomes, as they couldn't afford to move or pay double the lot rent. Total psychopaths...all greed, no conscience, no basic human decency. It happened in DOZENS of mobile home parks across the state of California, with only those truly remote and undesirable locations (more than 2 hours outside a major city) being spared.
@@le_th_people need to understand they are at risk in a mobile home. Same with these. They have no control. When the land gets sold all bets are off. Costs are never stagnant
Same thing that is happening to mobile home parks so not sure why somehow this idea of "tiny" homes is considered cool and hip. It's just an even smaller version of a single wide mobile home that people look down on.
...and raise the rates!...I'm fascinated with how a developer can put 16 homes on 1 acre but a single person/family gets shot down and rejected. "you can't build a small house on your own land, fill out the forms and fees and get the aprovals and you can have 50... head scratcher there. though it seems there's a bit of space around in this case.
The last woman with the kids has the smartest best layout. If it were just me and my wife, I might try this. But I have a feeling trends are priced too high per sqft. Enjoyed the video. Thanks
Once you get a look at the price/sq ft, you almost feel sick. Most of these builders are charging 3-4 times the cost of traditional housing (with land) per square foot. When you get to the really nice, easily livable tiny homes that are 100K+, you're paying $800-900/sq ft.
I love tiny homes.. I am from north texas southern Oklahoma and I wonder if many of these out of state people have ever been through a storm in one of these. I grew up going to the cellar several times a year. I just fear these wouldn’t fair well and is there a safe place to go if needed ? My grandparents lost their whole farm to a tornado. I am not being negative but it is a concern that I am not sure most people are aware of. It is very real anywhere in the south I guess. Don’t get me wrong I love these little houses and have been following the movement for years. It is just like having insurance you need to be prepared and is a very real possibility here.
Plan on hooking the home up and getting the hell out. If only I could have done that with Opal and Ivan. Lived in homes that had shingles ALL over my neighborhood
You're not being negative, you're thinking of saving lives. Anyone who grew up in tornado alley (like you and I did), spent a good deal of their childhood taking cover from tornados. We all saw our swingsets, sandboxes, and sometimes our homes or a neighbor/friend's home damaged or destroyed. Some of these places in Texas have an in-the-ground shelter they can go to, but I'm not sure if all of them have it. I haven't seen one mentioned here at the Lake Dallas tiny home village, but I've seen others in the area that have at least one.
I don't understand why people move to a tiny home if they have a fancy $1,000 sink, $$1,000 toilet, $$1,500 gas range ect. If the tiny house is $200,000. The question becomes WHAT ARE YOU REALLY DOING THIS FOR. Tiny homes should be $75,000 or less if not jus5 go buy a small house condo. It kind of a FAD I think.
Very nice home that has been efficiently designed. As an older person looking back, I see great advantages in buying a Tiny Home, as opposed to the large home my wife and I now own. Having grown up in a three bedroom home with seven brothers and sisters, and spending four years in the navy on a destroyer, I do have perspective from both sides
It would be nice for one or two people, but having kid's I can see how a tiny home would be to small for a family unless the family spent all day out side. Farm hands live in bunk house's to sleep in and eat in a building that is the main kitchen. Work all day out side.
@@snoopu2601 there are many families who live in tiny homes. Fresh air is great for kids. Maybe planning activities both indoors & out would be a way to give you more space. We’re starting our journey. I’ve been looking at many videos & I’m finding what I like & don’t like. The less expensive way is to find the best TH fit & see if you can make it work. Having a custom TH will be more expensive. Our next step is talking to the builder & seeing what our options are. My dream TH might not be in our budget. I won’t know until we ask. I hope this helps.keep looking if you need a TH for a family. Note: you will save money if you can live close to a builder. Last I checked, transportation can cost a loof money. Also know the city ordinance rules bc a city may not allow a TH on a piece of land you purchased. That’s why these communities are important. I wish you the best!
@@gizmosworld5855 thanks very much yes there is many many thing's that have to be considered when living in a TH much research has to be done. Yes I don't mind living with less I pretty much living that way as it is. I'm getting up in age where thing's are not that important to me anymore just family friend's and good health. They way thing's are going it might be a good time to start thinking about down sizing. Gizmo's World thank you for all the great information. Yes I agree location location location makes a world of difference.
We went a different route wanting privacy so tiny house more land no neighbors but would love to create a village for persons who are elderly and/or disabled!
I wish you told us about costs, such as purchase price, utility hook-ups, lot rental, etc. Also, could you add solar to roof? Can you unhook & move it to another location? Thanks!!!! Jim
This is the new starter middle class home....the standard of living in the 🇺🇸 for the middle class is dwindling & it's sad to see the media glamorize it
Once again mind you-!!! It's all part of the diabolically evil democratic party😈. " New World🌎 Disorder ideology syndrome conspiracy theory. To turn the (U.S.)a Venezuelan (3 rd) world nation.
I just don't like the land renting. I've been renting for over 20 years and I don't like how the fees can change after a decade or so. Moving those homes is not cheap. I more looking for a tiny home on a small land that I would own. That's the dream😅
It's been there longer than any other tiny home community, and they've been here on RUclips so many times I've lost count. I haven't lived in DFW since 1988 or Texas since 1989.
girl driving in down town Dallas should have been beyond never racking as people in Dallas drive crazy! Glad everyone made it one piece. I lived in Dallas 2yrs then moved back to Houston!
Not wanting to leave Texas. I see we now have several parks for a tiny home. I don't know if the rules would allow a park model. Gotta have a 11x24 or longer. How awesome are these! ❤
You know, when I built my first tiny house I thought I needed a giant one until I started living in it and realized it was just wasted space. I now live in a 8'x16' and it's more than enough. People don't realize how brainwashed they are by our materialist culture until you get rid of most of your stuff (not the stuff I actually cared about) and live more minimally. I used to buy a new couch every few years, buy new clothes every year, stupid crap. But everyone is different.
Kudos to the park owner! People should have a place to relax outdoors as well as a comfortable home inside! Tiny homes with great designs are perfect places to live and really enjoy your life!
Thanks for wonderful news! Great idea! I would add as a public health nurse...be sure to have excellent ventilation and some filters and protection from dust in Texas.
Hello from the Oregon Coast 🤠 Our goal is to purchase land, put a Tiny Home on it. Space for a large garden absolutely. Free range chickens. Need a lot of space from neighbors. There is plenty of land for sale here on the coast. Conservative communities/small town living and respecting the environment.
I could have had a tub in mine but kids didn't wait. I have a tub in farm house where I live with kids & grandson on their land. Because I sometimes have to have a tub. They do have private hot tubs you can rent by the hour if you get desparate for the soak. But yeah in your home is best. Also for little kids to play for help while cooking. lol. I have 7' head room. I don't want to a/c or heat all that ceiling or never shut off all the windows letting in heat in the summer & cold in the winter.
Oh yeah double sinks on my island. All three sinks have swivel faucets, black fixtures but sinks are square in kichen & square outside & a half moon scoop white porcelain but square in br. They are paying for airspace to spend on utilities that they can't use with windows glaore. That's where your money goes now. I can camp & live anywhere. Tiny homes are not accpeted in campgrounds to live yet either. So goodluck finding a place to live. I can join Good Sam's club & save money on rent as well. If I was living in a campground at a lake or river or stream ya know with nature as an ammenity.
I cringe every time a female tells me she loves Belle. That is a recipe for a future in domestic violence if there ever was one. Little girls who love Belle tend to have fathers who are narcissists. No little girl should be encouraged to love a brutish beast, and certainly not to idolize one. Girls should be taught to RUN from men like that. I only wish I were kidding about this.
@@le_th_ no thank you for your unsolicted comment! I don't have to worry about my niece being involved in a domestic violence situation because she was recently killed in a horrible accident. I don't know why people like you feel the need to comment on other people's comment! You should comment to the person that did the video! The other commenters do not care about your useless opinion!
I would love to know who built Marcel and Elaina’s home! It is just gorgeous! I won’t live in Texas, but it would be perfect in Florida, too! I just need a downstairs bedroom. Your needs change in your 80s.
As a 37 year old guy who grew up seeing houses being valued above 100k and more, those prices to me has always been too outrageous knowing that I would have to continue to pay on the home for 15-30 years of my life. I just can't see myself doing that. I think the tiny house with a lesser value would be perfect for me. Too much room is just more problems to deal with. If anyone know where I should start doing my research, please let me know.
You aren't going to find many tiny homes under 80K, if you want one that is truly liveable like a small apartment would be. The price per square foot for most tiny homes is TRIPLE the cost of most traditional-size homes. That said, if you just want 4 walls, a kitchen sink, a toilet, and a shower...basically a shed you can live in, then you can check out the Incredibox from Incredible Tiny Homes in Newport, TN. It is the most basic envelope that you can live in that I've seen since I've been looking at tiny homes (2011-2023). When I say basic, I mean there is no paint on the walls, nowhere to hang your clothes, and nowhere to put your towels, no sink in the bathroom, etc. There is flooring, a flushable toilet, and a 36" shower. It's not pretty, but it is functional. They have an 8' x 16' that is like a college dorm size (but without closets or storage) for $20K and a 8' x 20' with the same layout and amenities, just 4' more length for $25K. If you have building experience, one of those might work for you if you can find somewhere to park it. WARNING: most tiny home parks and mobile home communities will *NOT* allow you to work on your tiny home once you move in, they don't want you disturbing other people's peace with a bunch of hammering, drilling, etc.
I love my 150sqft. Everything I own and love is within reach, I own my house outright and rent a small piece of land in the woods. It allows me to work less and live my life in peace. The constant desire for more more more makes everyone unhappy.
OK, the first problem I see is they are parking them on dirt. This park should have concrete pads for the homes to be parked on. And why are they so close together? This park owner is ripping these people off. These are campers. People need to go into these things with their eyes wide open. Don't get caught up in the hype.
Marcelo Ferrer should 100% become a sales person for these really nice tiny homes. He is easy to listen to, and went into some great details. That microwave looked huge BTW!!! I got really fat after an accident left me unable to exercise for a long time, so I'll keep dreaming. I think the concept is a good one, and I don't see why this idea of new minimal living space can't become perhaps the new norm, and the new decisive goal for the populace.
I don't like the idea that it seems as though this tiny home park requires you to buy your home from a certain builder. It makes me wonder if they're getting some sort of kick back from the builder to promote them.
This is just so sad. Glorifying tiny homes bc our economy sucks. As someone who has lived in one bedroom apartments off and on for 25 years….dreaming of a real home was all I could do. Now, ‘tiny homes’ are gaining popularity. American dreams are quite literally…..shrinking.
These people who have these tiny homes already had places to live, and folks that isn't right, because tiny homes started out being for low income and the homeless to live. The wealthy and these people don't fit into those categories at all. What bothers me is that tiny homes have become trendy for people who already had their own homes, so the homeless and the people who are living on their social security and medicare are still getting screwed in this country, and folks it has to stop being for others who don't need them.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
This is a trailer park. When the owner increases the lot rent or sales the land, they are going to have the same problems as trailers because they don’t own the land that it sits on. Even if you tow it to another park same issue on repeat. Edit: And it’s not “tidy” it’s really cluttered.
My Grandmother, some cousins had no water or sewer. They had out houses and would pull it up from a dug well and heated it on the wood stove which was the only source of heat. They would delighted with This is a bigger house.
Go shed to house, pay around $400-$500 per month for 36 month on unrestricted land and own the property. why rent? Solar wood stove rainwater dry composting and a big garden. Life is good!
Do they own the land? If you can't own the land, and the property can be sold to investors who can jack the rent on you, I would never plan on retiring in such a location. Mobile home owners are getting pushed out of their property because investors come in and kick everyone out and jack the land rent..
These are very nice and I would like to buy one to put on a piece of property. The caviot is there is no room for my sewing and knitting machines! I have to have that because I not content simply watching RUclips or surfing the internet! What do people do?
Many years ago when tiny homes were just starting…..they were inexpensive, affordable…… but now like everything else there prices have gone up to ….. unaffordable. What a shame…… greed.😟
I lived in Dallas, Lewisville, Carrollton for 33 years and I got excited about tiny houses ever since 2015. About once a month I'd drive over to Rockwall and tour all of their tiny homes. Every year, I kept waiting for The City to approve a tiny house community. So after Antifa attacked our neighborhood, I moved, to Alabama, then Florida, California, Missouri and now I'm in Louisiana. All I want, is to get a tiny house and move back to Dallas where I can retire and be near my family, friends and my Church.
Odd that the couple that has not moved into their tiny home yet, was able to rave about how wonderful it was to live in a tiny home, and how well it worked.
Agreed
Love it. I downsized from a 3 bedroom home to now 530 square feet. I was hoarding some sentimental stuff. I let most of it go. The depression of constantly dealing with the junk is GONE. I can entertain now and the extra money I have now lets me travel !!!!
How long have you lived in your TH? Do you have any suggestions to downsizing? I’m just starting my journey.
It is hard to let go of sentimental items, I relate.
Unfortunately tiny homes don't necessarily mean cheaper homes, some can be just as expensive as a regular size home

Yup, I've been pricing them and was shock as hell at the cost of prefab tiny homes.

We’re starting our journey. I’ve been looking at many videos & I’m finding what I like & don’t like.
The less expensive way is to find the best TH fit & see if you can make it work. Having a custom TH will be more expensive.
Our next step is talking to the builder & seeing what our options are. My dream TH might not be in our budget. I won’t know until we ask.
I hope this helps.keep looking if you need a TH for a family. Note: you will save money if you can live close to a builder. Last I checked, transportation can cost a loof money. Also know the city ordinance rules bc a city may not allow a TH on a piece of land you purchased. That’s why these communities are important. I wish you the best!
@@gizmosworld5855 thanks very much yes there is many many thing's that have to be considered when living in a TH much research has to be done. Yes I don't mind living with less I pretty much living that way as it is. I'm getting up in age where thing's are not that important to me anymore just family friend's and good health. They way thing's are going it might be a good time to start thinking about down sizing. Gizmo's World thank you for all the great information. Yes I agree location location location makes a world of difference.
This is just beautiful. Thank for showing…
We went a different route wanting privacy so tiny house more land no neighbors but would love to create a village for persons who are elderly and/or disabled!
The best tiny home layout I have seen. It's fabulous.
“We are pretty tidy people.” This is key.
No it gets old dragging out and putting away. Just get an rv that has it as a home. Read about my new home . It's more and better. Cheaper saver.
@@jwilcox4726 where can I see it?
Love this tiny home with tall ceilings and great storage space/closets. The community looks nice too. Wonder what this one cost???
How beautiful ❤ tiny homes have a place now and beautiful one
I absolutely love the last house where the wife and husband and kids live❤she seems so happy there❤
I wish you told us about costs, such as purchase price, utility hook-ups, lot rental, etc. Also, could you add solar to roof? Can you unhook & move it to another location? Thanks!!!! Jim
This is the new starter middle class home....the standard of living in the 🇺🇸 for the middle class is dwindling & it's sad to see the media glamorize it
Once again mind you-!!! It's all part of the diabolically evil democratic party😈. " New World🌎 Disorder ideology syndrome conspiracy theory. To turn the (U.S.)a Venezuelan (3 rd) world nation.
I just don't like the land renting. I've been renting for over 20 years and I don't like how the fees can change after a decade or so. Moving those homes is not cheap. I more looking for a tiny home on a small land that I would own. That's the dream😅
Let's talk about the price of these homes the cost is ridiculous per square foot
check out on yt...Incredible tiny homes in Newport, Tenn.....Randy Jones...been watching for 6 1/2 yrs....you'll be shocked & happy..
It's good to have options for home living quarters.
Wow I’m surprised I haven’t seen this community yet. We’re out of Dallas area now but still go back and forth to different areas.
They have a tiny house community in Fort Worth also.
Tons of fully unrestricted land in TN too.
It's been there longer than any other tiny home community, and they've been here on RUclips so many times I've lost count. I haven't lived in DFW since 1988 or Texas since 1989.
Just finished my RN career, hoping in the future me and my hubby can buy one of these and move around the country. These are so cool.
Jerry Terry has a fast-talking’ hijack-hawkin’ shyster-vibe to him.
Tiny homes can be cute. But if you have to rent the land under it I don't think it is a good investment.
Bingo, it's now a mobile home community...
Best to own your own small piece of land (& still have to pay taxes on that plot😢)
My first trailer had a tiny little sink in kitchen with a little pump handle you worked with one hand while you rinsed a dish in the other. Funny now.
It's very beautiful
Blessings to you both 🙏
The Couple with 2 small children, nice Home, very nice!!
girl driving in down town Dallas should have been beyond never racking as people in Dallas drive crazy! Glad everyone made it one piece. I lived in Dallas 2yrs then moved back to Houston!
Another reason to be proud of this great state. 🤠✌
I can almost smell your narcissistic psychopathology.
@@le_th_ I can smell your petty jealousy and self-hatred in the air . that's ok... Texas loves you anyway!!!! 😎✌
thats all I need since I love to go places or sit in the sun, an affordable tiny home is all I need.
Not wanting to leave Texas. I see we now have several parks for a tiny home. I don't know if the rules would allow a park model. Gotta have a 11x24 or longer. How awesome are these! ❤
You know, when I built my first tiny house I thought I needed a giant one until I started living in it and realized it was just wasted space. I now live in a 8'x16' and it's more than enough. People don't realize how brainwashed they are by our materialist culture until you get rid of most of your stuff (not the stuff I actually cared about) and live more minimally. I used to buy a new couch every few years, buy new clothes every year, stupid crap. But everyone is different.
@@MrMountainchris I can agree I have 2 pup's and need room to move in not stuff I don't need at all. Do you have a place in Texas?
@@DeborahLong7777 Virginia actually.
If I got a tiny home, the first thing I would do is cancel my Costco membership.😂😂😂
Great place, beautiful homes.
Beautiful tiny homes
This is literally the yuppie version of a trailer/mobile home. A mobile home at least given you more space.
This is awesome! Congrats on your tiny home!
Love the community feeling
Kudos to the park owner! People should
have a place to relax outdoors as well as
a comfortable home inside! Tiny homes
with great designs are perfect places to
live and really enjoy your life!
Thanks for wonderful news! Great idea! I would add as a public health nurse...be sure to have excellent ventilation and some filters and protection from dust in Texas.
Hello from the Oregon Coast 🤠 Our goal is to purchase land, put a Tiny Home on it. Space for a large garden absolutely. Free range chickens. Need a lot of space from neighbors. There is plenty of land for sale here on the coast. Conservative communities/small town living and respecting the environment.
AWESOME!!! WOULD LOVE TO LIVE IN A TINY HOME!!!
Wow yo he visitado su workshop y hacen un excelente trabajo bravo 👏🏻 Decathlon Tiny Homes
Beautiful tiny homes! 🙌🙌❤️💜
Love the double sink and how much head room in the last house on this video. I also love tubs
I could have had a tub in mine but kids didn't wait. I have a tub in farm house where I live with kids & grandson on their land. Because I sometimes have to have a tub. They do have private hot tubs you can rent by the hour if you get desparate for the soak. But yeah in your home is best. Also for little kids to play for help while cooking. lol. I have 7' head room. I don't want to a/c or heat all that ceiling or never shut off all the windows letting in heat in the summer & cold in the winter.
Oh yeah double sinks on my island. All three sinks have swivel faucets, black fixtures but sinks are square in kichen & square outside & a half moon scoop white porcelain but square in br. They are paying for airspace to spend on utilities that they can't use with windows glaore. That's where your money goes now. I can camp & live anywhere. Tiny homes are not accpeted in campgrounds to live yet either. So goodluck finding a place to live. I can join Good Sam's club & save money on rent as well. If I was living in a campground at a lake or river or stream ya know with nature as an ammenity.
Love the community and homes
Love the tile & black & white in Belle! My niece’s favorite princess was Belle too. Cute dog!
I cringe every time a female tells me she loves Belle. That is a recipe for a future in domestic violence if there ever was one. Little girls who love Belle tend to have fathers who are narcissists. No little girl should be encouraged to love a brutish beast, and certainly not to idolize one.
Girls should be taught to RUN from men like that. I only wish I were kidding about this.
@@le_th_ no thank you for your unsolicted comment! I don't have to worry about my niece being involved in a domestic violence situation because she was recently killed in a horrible accident. I don't know why people like you feel the need to comment on other people's comment! You should comment to the person that did the video! The other commenters do not care about your useless opinion!
Love the stand up loft ❤
I cant seem to find the answer about if I need to buy land, water power hook up, property tax stuff like that. Pls share more details?
I would love to know who built Marcel and Elaina’s home! It is just gorgeous! I won’t live in Texas, but it would be perfect in Florida, too! I just need a downstairs bedroom. Your needs change in your 80s.
As a 37 year old guy who grew up seeing houses being valued above 100k and more, those prices to me has always been too outrageous knowing that I would have to continue to pay on the home for 15-30 years of my life. I just can't see myself doing that.
I think the tiny house with a lesser value would be perfect for me. Too much room is just more problems to deal with.
If anyone know where I should start doing my research, please let me know.
You aren't going to find many tiny homes under 80K, if you want one that is truly liveable like a small apartment would be. The price per square foot for most tiny homes is TRIPLE the cost of most traditional-size homes.
That said, if you just want 4 walls, a kitchen sink, a toilet, and a shower...basically a shed you can live in, then you can check out the Incredibox from Incredible Tiny Homes in Newport, TN. It is the most basic envelope that you can live in that I've seen since I've been looking at tiny homes (2011-2023). When I say basic, I mean there is no paint on the walls, nowhere to hang your clothes, and nowhere to put your towels, no sink in the bathroom, etc. There is flooring, a flushable toilet, and a 36" shower. It's not pretty, but it is functional. They have an 8' x 16' that is like a college dorm size (but without closets or storage) for $20K and a 8' x 20' with the same layout and amenities, just 4' more length for $25K.
If you have building experience, one of those might work for you if you can find somewhere to park it.
WARNING: most tiny home parks and mobile home communities will *NOT* allow you to work on your tiny home once you move in, they don't want you disturbing other people's peace with a bunch of hammering, drilling, etc.
@@le_th_ Thank you for the update. I guess I'll just save up for a home,lol.
I love my 150sqft. Everything I own and love is within reach, I own my house outright and rent a small piece of land in the woods. It allows me to work less and live my life in peace. The constant desire for more more more makes everyone unhappy.
OK, the first problem I see is they are parking them on dirt. This park should have concrete pads for the homes to be parked on. And why are they so close together? This park owner is ripping these people off. These are campers. People need to go into these things with their eyes wide open. Don't get caught up in the hype.
This is a very nice tiny home with a lot of storage. I could live there.
What happens when somebody decides to sell the land, you are parked on?
🤫🤫🤫🤫🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Then, you have to move to another place or sell your tiny house.
Move the unit to another location-!!!😉
Marcelo Ferrer should 100% become a sales person for these really nice tiny homes. He is easy to listen to, and went into some great details. That microwave looked huge BTW!!!
I got really fat after an accident left me unable to exercise for a long time, so I'll keep dreaming. I think the concept is a good one, and I don't see why this idea of new minimal living space can't become perhaps the new norm, and the new decisive goal for the populace.
They sell tiny homes for the same as a large house. DIY and you can use salvage stuff and save thousands.
We did one for about 20k. Rents for 1100 utilities included.
All states should provide Tiny Home Village lots!
Renting out the lot and provide with water and sewerage are HUGE!
A blessing for everyone💖
NO PRIVACY
I don't like the idea that it seems as though this tiny home park requires you to buy your home from a certain builder. It makes me wonder if they're getting some sort of kick back from the builder to promote them.
This is the America today!
The only thing I don’t like about these places is that they do not have fences providing some kind of privacy to each home’s “backyard”
Excellent tiny home building company.
Nice AD for the tiny home builders. 🙂 Nyce homes though. I want one. I luv the medium shades of blue used inside and on the exterior of the homes.
This is just so sad. Glorifying tiny homes bc our economy sucks. As someone who has lived in one bedroom apartments off and on for 25 years….dreaming of a real home was all I could do. Now, ‘tiny homes’ are gaining popularity. American dreams are quite literally…..shrinking.
Tiny home with covered carport is a good idea
These people who have these tiny homes already had places to live, and folks that isn't right, because tiny homes started out being for low income and the homeless to live. The wealthy and these people don't fit into those categories at all. What bothers me is that tiny homes have become trendy for people who already had their own homes, so the homeless and the people who are living on their social security and medicare are still getting screwed in this country, and folks it has to stop being for others who don't need them.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Wow what a community
Great start!Starr!! Will be the solution for some. Better than homeless.
This is a trailer park. When the owner increases the lot rent or sales the land, they are going to have the same problems as trailers because they don’t own the land that it sits on. Even if you tow it to another park same issue on repeat.
Edit: And it’s not “tidy” it’s really cluttered.
We need this in Detroit!
My Grandmother, some cousins had no water or sewer. They had out houses and would pull it up from a dug well and heated it on the wood stove which was the only source of heat. They would delighted with
This is a bigger house.
What?
Very nice !!! Love it !! Congrats 💖😊
Cute homes. I like the couples's tiny home and the last tiny home. How much is their lot rent?
Go shed to house, pay around $400-$500 per month for 36 month on unrestricted land and own the property. why rent? Solar wood stove rainwater dry composting and a big garden. Life is good!
Very impressive
Do they own the land? If you can't own the land, and the property can be sold to investors who can jack the rent on you, I would never plan on retiring in such a location. Mobile home owners are getting pushed out of their property because investors come in and kick everyone out and jack the land rent..
Bingo, it's a glorified mobile home community
These are very nice and I would like to buy one to put on a piece of property. The caviot is there is no room for my sewing and knitting machines! I have to have that because I not content simply watching RUclips or surfing the internet! What do people do?
Come to Phoenix, Arizona...we need you here
Many years ago when tiny homes were just starting…..they were inexpensive, affordable…… but now like everything else there prices have gone up to ….. unaffordable. What a shame…… greed.😟
The lot rent is $700-$750 with a $1000 deposit and one year lease. You have to bring your own tiny house and they vary widely in price.
Congrats ! Beautiful project!
I lived in Dallas, Lewisville, Carrollton for 33 years and I got excited about tiny houses ever since 2015. About once a month I'd drive over to Rockwall and tour all of their tiny homes. Every year, I kept waiting for The City to approve a tiny house community. So after Antifa attacked our neighborhood, I moved, to Alabama, then Florida, California, Missouri and now I'm in Louisiana.
All I want, is to get a tiny house and move back to Dallas where I can retire and be near my family, friends and my Church.
So it’s a fancy trailer
They look like tiny wooden mobile homes.
it's just a mobile home park with more expensive per sq foot homes and less space inside the houses.
Actually they are wooden pull behind campers (rv's).
Esta preciosa esa tiny house , me encanto
