I am so glad I found your channel! Please kept up this important work. I am a senior and I was thinking about selling this big house and going tiny. Now….i don’t know if I would trust anyone. Doing our due diligent is so important!
Hi! Thanks for watching. There are several great builders out there, my favorite one is Coastal Tiny Homes, but 100% you have to do your research before giving anyone your money.
That’s absolutely correct. I have always liked Tumbleweed. Also, before I forget. Randy Jones had a luxury development many years ago that went bankrupt. Maybe it wasn’t his fault, maybe it was. If he did it once, strong possibility it could happen again. Maybe you could research that. I believe he even mentioned it on one of his RUclips videos many years ago. Thanks again for the great content.
Thank you for the very informative video. I suspect this company had the right intentions & yet have fallen into old habits. This will not be thier first adventure gone bad if you dig deep enough.
@Swim136 , I never "heard" anything. I READ his quotes in an article about his failed past where he lost everything & started over. Kudo's to him for that. However, it appears quite possibly that whatever got him into trouble in the past is likely happening again. My opinion based on my research which is my right in my country.
You can definitely put Incredible Tiny Homes on that list. Many people still don't have their homes or the lots in the community they paid for over 4 years ago on land that they never got approval for from the Newport planning commision. They are also operating with no current business license. Don't get me started on the poor quality of the builds. I can see daylight where my roof meets the walls because it was not properly attached and it was not sealed.
See I almost drank the kool-aid back in the spring but so much wasn’t looking right and when I heard people been waiting for 4 years with them giving their life savings I choice not to even pull the trigger! The legality of the “key money “ was a large concern for me being that you wouldn’t own the land and still paying a monthly rent and that you can be kicked out if he doesn’t like you after you have paid thousands of dollars for just to hold your spot!
Hey, I didn't know they were operating without a license! I'll look into it. I'm sorry to hear about the quality of your home too. Is there no refund policy?
@@MicThinksTinywould you please share what you find out about Incredible Tiny Homes? I’m planning a visit there next month. The company has been around for some time and so not sure how that’s possible if they don’t have a business license. Also the comment about the lots and paying a monthly fee is a common practice for a tiny home community. So that seems legit to me.
Hello! I did not know that. I'll definitely look into it and see if there's anything I can talk about. If that is the case, I wonder why it's gone on for so long. I've seen other videos of people talking about them....maybe it's just based on what the company says. Thanks for commenting and watching.
@@MicThinksTiny I wish I knew, but I definitely think they are flying below the radar because they are also accepting large donations excuse me deposits and even having people invest into their company. I had initially signed up on their waitlist back in 2020 but decided to just drop it because there was no movement at all. And the only tours you’ll ever see are the ones given by them and never by anybody who actually owns one.
I've wondered about that company, too. In fact, I was an early investor, but cashed out after a few years when the company (and stock valuation) didn't move forward. Good concept. Poor execution.
A friend of mine bought a tiny home from them alot of money up front n took SO long to build. She said there were many problems in this house cheap building material, leaks etc. When she talked to Randy he was RUDE N NOT CARING. You don't see this in his Videos. Many employees have left as Randy always says money was low so would have to wait for pay check. But Randy did have money to cont building. The lots need Alot of landscaping
In the past I've seen photos of tiny homes on builders' websites that show examples of their particular designs. In 2 incidents I recognized that two of the photos were copied from legitimate builders' websites, so I contacted the real builders to let them know that I had seen their project photos on another builder's website and assumed that their photos were being misused. In each case I was thanked for informing them of the stolen images, and I assumed they dealt with the fake builders. So, yes, buyers beware.
Hello! Yeah, companies using other companies photos is a real issue. It's great you were able to identify the fake photos and let the original builder know. It's a shame people are doing this but it's not surprising. The industry is becoming so popular people just think they can get away with anything. Do you live in a tiny house now?
@@MicThinksTiny Yes, I live in my tiny house at Tiny Tranquility on the Oregon coast. I think the first video of yours I ever watched was an interview with one of the park managers. I enjoy watching your interviews. Keep up the good the good & informative work!
I got scammed 4 yrs ago and lost a lot of money and paid cash . Have a new tiny house by an awesome builder but yea I was scammed. So paid for 2 homes what a nightmare now they r out of business
Good information, thank you! I toured and considered Anchored in 2020 and glad I didn't choose them, however, I was scammed along with other customers by a different California builder who took the same path of filing bankruptcy which has been going on for over 2 years in litigation...many people lost a lot of money. This tiny home company was vetted by a bank that provided tiny home loans and I also had a contract so I thought I was pretty "safe". Nope.
I'm glad you were able to dodge Anchored but I'm sorry to hear you ended up being scammed by another company in California. If you don't mind me asking, what ended up happening? You can always email me instead micthinkstiny@gmail.com if you're not comfortable typing it as a comment. I'm just genuinely curious. Thanks so much for watching!
I would love to know how many people that bought a tiny house are still happy with their purchase. Do you know where I can find this info because you only see the ones that are happy
Hello! That's a great point. I'm not sure. I think Yelp, the BBB, and Reddit are great places to find information from people who have worked with a company.
I own an incredible tiny home. I have for almost 8 years. I did a build your own workshop with them in January of 2017. I have an 8 x 24 foot tiny home. It is everything I wanted from the experience of going tiny. It affords me a safe, comfortable, beautiful home. It was on their website and RUclips channel for a long time, but it's almost 8 years ago. My house was house number 45 for the company again 8 years ago. I've probably dropped very far down if it's even still on the RUclips channel because they don't offer this model anymore. I have not kept up with the company. As far as watching videos and everything. But I have friends that live in the community, and they have like 200 people living there. There's always gonna be someone who's unhappy. I can't speak to the business practices that are currently going on. But I know that he's provided homes for many people and has many satisfied customers. I do not regret my decision to go tiny at all. And I wish they still made custom homes. Because I would like them to build me a 10 / 26 foot house. I'm told you have to go with one of their predesign models with no modification. I'm not interested in that because I want a bathtub, and they all have like showers. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions for me or would like to see my home in videos or pictures
Great information. It is sad to say, but even using the best due diligence does not alaways keep one safe. Keep up the good work. I'd like to speak with you privately, Mic. I don't know how to contact you privately?
Not speaking full truth to you! How would YOU feel if 4 or 5 yrs later NOTHING is done that you gave your WORD on! HIS WORD! If you can’t stand in your WORD then you are unintegral delving into dark ways. IF they’re REALLY friends(acquaintance if liars) you’d WARN them what’s coming and help them FINANCIALLY because they will need it. It’s coming soon-be prepared. This is not a scam, you’re right-it’s a CON JOB!!! He’s been doing it for years. Truth is truth.🙏🏻🤨

Actually, it's not the "company" so much as the guy who is front & center that has a not so great business past.
