Thats why leaving USA is best. Why be chasing a currency that has less purchasing power every month forcing you into lower living standards and now living in trailers. This is not a dream, it is a nightmare. In Mexico, I work remotely earn $15 hour doing easy work and live like a queen- upper middle class. In US , I d be homeless
That’s actually not a bad price. In Florida your going to pay at least that !! Yes- I agree that it should NOT be as much as it is but no one is doing anything about it so prices just keep climbing. 🙁 Anyway ! I love her home and have lots of cool ideas from it. !
That's true, I can't imagine paying $175,000 for a tiny home and not own the land underneath it. Where I live (Indonesia) you can still build a brick & concrete tiny house for $20-30 k, the small plot of land for around the same price in the suburbs or further out of the city. Of course land in the city centre would be about $2,000/sq meter, but you still can build the house for $20 k
I love it!!! But my concern is paying $175,000 then still having to pay $750.00 a month rent unless you're paying for the lot where its parked, if so then I might look for a cheaper lot. Just curious about what the rent is paying for. Otherwise, I think its a precious home!!
@catholictp434 depends when she built it..the cost of building materials skyrocketed during Covid and she has some nice finishes inside; custom ceiling and exterior plus it mobile also CO is expensive all around lol unless you live in a very rural town there. Also, take a look at just her kitchen alone- it's larger and nicer than some small ground-up builds...plus she has tons of storage.
This was a custom build and fixing problems from her initial choice for builder. She also lives in Boulder which is an expensive area, so $720 for lot rental is reasonable.
Some of you are in La La land. The price of homes have skyrocketed. The average price to build a single family home in the US is $290,000 and up. You can not purchase a house and refurbish it for that price. Professional that is. She has a lovely Tiny Home and her and her daughter are very happy.
I thought you'd build your own house to spare money and not give all your extra -now free- capacities to the landlord. Lol. Doesn't make any sense like that. You want to reduce costs, not just paying different items.
@@ranmakuro true but her rent is for where she is now. She can travel the country & im sure the rent will vary, depending on where she decides to stay. I think this is a great idea for retired individuals but It’s her house, her life & her choice.
It's a shame this happens. People try to live on their means as soon as we feel yes . Now the government or land owners jack prices are so high. I was living in a 700sqft apt 950.00. 1150. After Covid everything is so high.
This is beautiful. Looks more than adequate to live in but $750.00 per month seems a lot to be paying for the lot I assume and there is the possibility of them increasing it. Love it.
I agree. The second it went "commercialized", it ruined the industry. Those houses now cost just as much as a regular single family home. I'm gonna buy a RV in the fall and live in it.
Hopefully your property taxes won't suddenly get jacked up. Also the maintenance on a tiny is miniscule compared to a standard house, as are energy costs. Thanks for your concern, though...😆👍
Paying rent for a house you built that you own is ludicrous. It's a beautiful home, absolutely, but I have just pruced a home with nearly the exact same specs and added extras, and only came out to $97k...add in the cost of land and hooking up electric and plumbing, we're at about $205k, then property tax once a year at $370...No way would I ever pay $725/month
Possibly a land lease. She rents a space, has a monthly rate which many times includes something (sewer, trash) and this is subject to increase. Not positive on timing, I think it's yearly with a 90 day notice .
725 dollars a month to live in a tiny home? That is crazy! I mean it's a beautiful place! Of course it is! That's just a lot of money per month for a tiny home!
Please let me know where can you live for $725? She has a CUSTOMIZED home. Remove the "tiny" and think about that. If she was to buy her own plot of land with cash she probably wouldn't even be paying 725. Yal just talking. When you live tiny you still have to find a place to park the thing, can't just be on the street. We have to have electricity, water, and for some people sewage. Yal think everything in included in tiny living? I think that's why the comments sound so ignorant.
Where I live an apartment that size would be $2300 easy not including utilities, water, internet, etc. Land rent runs around $925. Colorado, where she lives is expensive, higher cost of living and higher incomes. It's all about the location.
It’s crazy how people worry about how another person sent their money. Not trying to come off toxic btw, just saying whether she is well off or not it’s her money to spend. She probably could’ve went an more effective route, but she went the route “SHE” wanted with “HER” money and seems to be pretty happy with it. Your life is yours and no one else’s.
Very true. However it is still shocking. Just like people pay for condos which are nothing more than Apts. Then someone telling you what kind of pet you can have or devo you can have on your front door. Crazy how this us has become. In Europe it isn't like this...lol...they are more laid back about everything. Makes me wonder who truly has freedom
@@debraholmes2854with proper homework, I think both a condo and a tiny home can be a good medium term solution for keeping and building more of your money. The trick seems to work for those who stay at it on average 5 - 7 years. Both tend to be more accessible to middle income wage earners than a single family home. Have you seen the prices and property taxes on single family homes now?! Even higher earners are finding single family homes hard to afford. Rent is barely accessible to anyone right now unless you want to live in a troubled area or rural Kansas. A condo can be good if your trying to build some equity, have as investment property to rent and or you are older or have disabilities and need less maintenance responsibility. A tiny home is good if you are looking to keep more of your money and save but maybe your someone who prefers to be able to move without worrying about a lease or having to sell the home. Many tiny communities don't charge nearly as much, she's in an expensive area. Both housing options have thier cons but often its a bridge for financial stability and growth for more modest income earners. Yes, the US is struggling with a hyper fixation on individualism, declining since of community, and group tensions. While this is changing a little bit in recent years Ghana had very little opportunity when my parents move here in the 1980s. There are things about China and even South Korea that make me shiver. Hyper competitive culture with jobs dominted by Samsung and 14 hours of school, or a heavy handed regime compusory 996 work week. So from that prospective it's not the worst place in the world dispite bieng probably lesser than Europe or Japan. Speaking of the Korea....imagine bieng in North Korea. Its hard here on earth, and people do what they can to make things fit were they are at least content.
@@keegannunley5444 you are so right. My son bought a townhouse for use as a vacay type home but he ended up just renting it out. Bought for about 300,000 and within 2 yrs it is worth over 450. Ridiculous if you ask me…lol…I live with him and no I’m not footing the bill but I think you should have gold knobs and jeweled chandeliers for that money…and I’ve watched some house hunter shows that about gave me a heart attack for the prices of some tiny crap.

Now I live with one of my sons and don’t need to worry about a thing but I still look for them bargains….lol…lol…lol…I think if I won the lottery I would still that…lol…lol…lol
I totally agree with you, however this sort of market is literally jacking up prices on mobile homes that normally would never go for those type of prices....just because its become a "fad" for people to do now. Mobile homes, used, just a few years ago, some would sell for a few thousand dollars ( maybe around $4,000 to $5,000) dollars. Now, they are going for over $20,000 thousands dollars in some cases. Thats my argument, and not knocking what this woman is doing with her own money, because as I said, I agree with you, that its none of my business ( or anyone else's) what she does with her own money.
The one saving grace about this is that the house can be moved anywhere. Very convenient given she is able to find lots where she needs to and has a job that requires her to do so. But it sucks because it’s still a lot of money and much too small as a living space for growing children. I couldn’t live here with more than one other adult and maybe a cat or tiny dog. I hope she can get situated somewhere she and her gremlins have pet room. I feel like many Americans are just gravitating towards this trend because they don’t believe that regular homes have any value or opportunities for anyone but the extremely wealthy (given even the lamest houses can run up to millions if they’re in the “right neighborhood “)
There is one in Thornton Colorado that would be just south of Boulder Colorado. Maybe she got it done there. Just Google search builders. They are popular in many states. And even if you can't find one near you, they offer shipping.
She paid like $1,000 per square foot. My tiny home cost about $85 per square foot, and that includes the cabinets and counters and flooring and everything. I did some of the work myself though, and I do admit mine isn't nearly as pretty as hers lol. But still...
I don’t think she’s paying a mortgage, she’s renting the space her home is on. And I don’t think it would cost less than $200k to build a house on land. Unless it’s that cheap in Colorado.
@@chanmarr8118 but maybe she did get a loan. We don't really know. Unless you saw the whole story where she sold a home to build that and used thar money...this person makes a good point.
Not sure where you could get a house for that price. It's definitely on the higher end for a tiny, but it's large and very well equipped. Where I am in Virginia, the average home is close to $700k. I don't have a budget for a tiny this nice, so I'm looking at a renovated RV, but I completely understand the price she paid.
If we're comparing prices, the house my parents bought in Fla. just built new was $12,000 in 1950. Sold again in the 60's for $68,000 & is NOW valued at $600,000! Still has only one bathroom. They bought a house on L.I. also built new in the early 60's for $28,000. A high ranch,v3 berms, 2 baths. Sold it for $50,000 in the late 70"s. The next yr real estate shot up everywhere, house valued now over 200K.
The home my great grandfather built was sold back in 2006 (I think, may have been earlier) for around $600k, last time I checked it’s estimated value is over $2mil, I’ll never be able to get back my family home. Granted the people that bought it did renovate and fix a lot of issues the home had, but no where near the amount its value increased.
Where do you live? A starter home in all of Colorado averages just under 400,000. June 2023 average listing price in Boulder was 1.3 million. Average price of homes sold in Boulder in June was 1.1 million. She’s making an informed decision based on her state and the real estate available to the region.
Tiny houses are getting more expensive every year. Ten years ago houses were around $5,000 and a really expensive one was $30,000. Most of them were 200 to 350 sq ft. Now I'm seeing more tinies around $80,000 to $150,000. They are also bigger 400 to 500 sq ft. They look more like small houses and have more amenities. If you can afford it and like a small but not too cramped space, it's worth it.
Huh?! You don’t even own the land underneath the house, the thing that makes it appreciate throughout the years. Anything with wheels depreciates with time!
It's great if you can go wherever you want and make a living. Not everyone can do that. You can move and hope to get a job where you want to live. But, more often than not, the lifestyle you live and the work you are good at, isn't available in the place that is cheaper.
You are correct, however there are actually even more considerations. I have MS, one of our children is a high level gymnast, our son wants to be a pilot(in addition to law school), plus we have a swimmer & dancer(a bit more common activities) There aren't many places in the country that can meet all of our needs!! Most rural areas for sure aren't going to do it. Just medical care alone can be difficult to find/coordinate outside of a major city. And that's assuming hubs could find a job in that area. No thanks!!
@@michaelcrowley9008 When in areas like Boulder, where fires demolish many homes, this is mobile. There are increasingly more places to park these and the greater the demand, the more places will open. Its one of an increasing number of micro housing options.
Tiny home or not....I like them. But the real problem is the prices ppl are willing to pay for any home large or small. When the consumers actually control the market. If nobody buys it can't be sold.... price drops.....people continue to buy......drive up the prices.....lol.... You really can build a house for cheaper. Go bushcraft..... 😂 Spend 300 bands on 1 or 200 acres cut all the trees you want build your own tiny, or mansion. I'm not being negative all I'm saying is to each his or her own. U gotta get in where you fit in. Me I think I'mma try the off grid living
She paid what I paid to buy an old place on 1/3 acre and renovate it. Her monthly payment is more than mine would be (I have none) if I took out an Equity Line of credit (LOC) to do the roof, siding, and have it painted. And my house should last 15 yrs without any other maintenance (I have new plumbing, electrical, a shored up foundation, new HVAC, and a garage. Oh, also 2 more bedrooms and another bath!
It’s cute but not worth the price. For this price you could buy a real house and with time refinance it. I have a friend that lives in a cute townhome, she only pays $700 in mortgage after some years living there. With time, just the land rent will cost more than homeowners are paying in mortgage. Although, it is very cute, it’s expensive.
Wow, so many negative price comments Looks amazing. A trashy home in Boulder is well over a million. Peace of mind she has to not switch schools and be stable. Amazing.
As you mention, one of the advantages of a tiny home is being able to move it to another location. But, I’ve always wondered how many tiny homes ever actually get relocated. I’ve read that mobile homes, despite the name, are rarely moved once purchased and parked. It’s expensive to move these and places that permit tiny homes are limited.
@@Dogsnarktrailers cannot be moved when they are older. Lots of people in trailer parks cry over that unfortunate fact. No solid foundation? No land? Depreciating asset?
A fancy jail cell, people deserve so much more! We work so hard in life that we should be able to have nice homes! I don't like how Expensive this is because you don't get land to go with it! Always looking for a place to park!!!! Nope not for me!
how about this, move it to a place where it has a great view then take nice photos and put it on air B&B for 200-400 dollars and you'd be making a fortune out of it, trust me I did it and im earning from 80,000 to 170,000 a year
No one is looking for a tiny house to gain equity. The purpose is to be able to afford a decent life daily. The space rent is no different then paying a no good HOA fee. Alot of people just don't get it. This is Brilliant
Hi guys, a nice tiny home it appears appears quite spacious for the design, notice the gap between to second loft and the stair, concern for a child climbing the room.
Research home and rental costs in her area, and you'll see that she made a wise investment for herself. Where I am (east coast), homes sell for $700k and up, and rent for a 2BR apartment averages over $2k. She spent $175k, and her ongoing cost is just the lot rent. That may be high compared to some places, but not in her area, or lots of others.
@Whyuwannaknow4 The cost of the home depends on size, material, and features. Lot rent depends on location, size, and amenities. I've seen lots for $300 in the sticks that were just land, no utility connections, septic, or water. This is not that, so the price, in an expensive area, is logically higher.
It's nice and you did an outstanding job...A well built Single Wide trailer would have been a good choice especially raising kids...At any rate I wish You well on you and your children's life's journey.I must say,You are very talented. You could start/have an extremely positive career in remodeling, construction, designing Home's..Good Luck and GodBless..Can't wait to see what you design next..😃☀🌻🌞🌼😀..
$175k? How much does a stick-built 2 bedroom home cost to construct? Land not included, but she’s renting land for $725/ month… And this will depreciate. Beautiful, but idk about this one…
The average home price in Boulder, CO is 1 million dollars. 175k by comparison is a steal. To even rent a 2 bedroom in that area will set her back $2000-4,000 per month. She's getting a steal
Its beautiful ..yes but ive got a 3bedroom 1400squ house w a big bk yard and porch .wood floors & french doors ..its was $34,000..0f coarse its Vintage "....i think its charming....*American Craftsman Bungalow". .....

Yep definitely moving to Thailand. $300 for a beach condo with a pool and gym.
You can only do that for a few months then you have to leave. You can always return though
725$ for a lot is absolutely insane it shouldn't even be half that
Most mobile home parks here in California cost at least $750 a month, for a tiny space.
😮 whats the point then. America is insane
Welcome to the future where you will own nothing and be happy😵💫

I like how a few years ago tiny homes were tiny and around 40k. Now they’re basically trailers and close to 200k.
They are not trailers. You cannot just hook them up and take off.
actually false, most people do build them on trailers and can hook them up and take them wherever they choose whenever
@@kittykatz3518yes they are. If they have wheels and axles they are classified as mobile/trailer homes.

Thats my argument, and not knocking what this woman is doing with her own money, because as I said, I agree with you, that its none of my business ( or anyone else's) what she does with her own money.
How does she pay rent if she built it?
The one saving grace about this is that the house can be moved anywhere. Very convenient given she is able to find lots where she needs to and has a job that requires her to do so. But it sucks because it’s still a lot of money and much too small as a living space for growing children. I couldn’t live here with more than one other adult and maybe a cat or tiny dog. I hope she can get situated somewhere she and her gremlins have pet room. I feel like many Americans are just gravitating towards this trend because they don’t believe that regular homes have any value or opportunities for anyone but the extremely wealthy (given even the lamest houses can run up to millions if they’re in the “right neighborhood “)
How can I make this happen for myself? Tell me more please - this is amazing. Thanks
Well you can start by learning to think for yourself.
Lol😂 people are so rude these days
Who's the builder? We're looking for something similar
There is one in Thornton Colorado that would be just south of Boulder Colorado. Maybe she got it done there. Just Google search builders. They are popular in many states. And even if you can't find one near you, they offer shipping.
mitchcraft tiny homes.
What??? $175,000 for a tiny home? That’s a no…
Add the space rental of $725 per month, how is that reasonable!
As soon as she said 175K, my thought was "a tiny house shouldn't cost that much"
She paid like $1,000 per square foot. My tiny home cost about $85 per square foot, and that includes the cabinets and counters and flooring and everything. I did some of the work myself though, and I do admit mine isn't nearly as pretty as hers lol. But still...
@@Adelicowscan you send a link for your tiny home? How much did you spend??
Dog, it's a 700 square foot tiny home.
It's only slightly above market value on a per square foot basis.
So you paid as much as a small house would cost to build it, and are still paying a mortgage payment ontop of that? how is this a win again?
I don’t think she’s paying a mortgage, she’s renting the space her home is on. And I don’t think it would cost less than $200k to build a house on land. Unless it’s that cheap in Colorado.
@@chanmarr8118 but maybe she did get a loan. We don't really know. Unless you saw the whole story where she sold a home to build that and used thar money...this person makes a good point.
750 Rent to park it!
Where tf you paying 175 for a house?😂😂😂
Not sure where you could get a house for that price. It's definitely on the higher end for a tiny, but it's large and very well equipped. Where I am in Virginia, the average home is close to $700k. I don't have a budget for a tiny this nice, so I'm looking at a renovated RV, but I completely understand the price she paid.
If we're comparing prices, the house my parents bought in Fla. just built new was $12,000 in 1950. Sold again in the 60's for $68,000 & is NOW valued at $600,000! Still has only one bathroom.
They bought a house on L.I. also built new in the early 60's for $28,000. A high ranch,v3 berms, 2 baths. Sold it for $50,000 in the late 70"s. The next yr real estate shot up everywhere, house valued now over 200K.
Yep. The house I grew up in (Alexandria VA) cost my parents $20k in 1968. Sold it for $105k in 1984, and the current valuation is over $1 mil. 🥺
In those days coming up with $12000.00 wasn't an easy task.
You have just proven what inflation does to people’s living standards.
A detail that is always missed , on purpose or because it doesn’t fit into the narrative.
The home my great grandfather built was sold back in 2006 (I think, may have been earlier) for around $600k, last time I checked it’s estimated value is over $2mil, I’ll never be able to get back my family home.
Granted the people that bought it did renovate and fix a lot of issues the home had, but no where near the amount its value increased.
I wouldn't call that tiny .
But I love what you have done . ❤
well it's a lot smaller than an average family home, so what else would it be?
@@nina.robbs565 Depends on where you come from I suppose.
I'm from the UK.
@@nina.robbs565 small house, smallish house
@@nina.robbs565
Even smaller than a bedroom apartment.
@@nina.robbs565exactly!!!
I was like wait what, did i hear that correctly?! 175k just to build it! And then paying rent! Might as well buy a piece of land for that
Very nice.
The only thing I see that w/b a prob for me….
How do you make your bed? LOL…
Where do you live? A starter home in all of Colorado averages just under 400,000. June 2023 average listing price in Boulder was 1.3 million. Average price of homes sold in Boulder in June was 1.1 million. She’s making an informed decision based on her state and the real estate available to the region.
😂 informed 😂😂😂
wait you paid to build it.yet you pay rent..something is terribly wrong
She's renting the lot from someone and that covers her water and I think her electricity
I’ll never have one but I’m loving this tiny home.
Almost $200k for a trailer that will depreciate? No land? Ever increasing land rent?
It’s nice but rather expensive and would have bought a plot of land and saved that loft fee
Back where I’m from, they call these things trailers…just sayin
Tiny house on wheels aka mobile home, trailer, single wide.
I love how bright and airy it feels!
Love the design of this tiny home😊
Tiny houses are getting more expensive every year. Ten years ago houses were around $5,000 and a really expensive one was $30,000. Most of them were 200 to 350 sq ft. Now I'm seeing more tinies around $80,000 to $150,000. They are also bigger 400 to 500 sq ft. They look more like small houses and have more amenities. If you can afford it and like a small but not too cramped space, it's worth it.
All manner of houses are getting more expensive every year.
@@crucialtaunt5717$175k for 500sqft, may as well get an rv 🤷🏻♀️
Huh?! You don’t even own the land underneath the house, the thing that makes it appreciate throughout the years. Anything with wheels depreciates with time!
For 175 I'll buy a nice rural home in rust belt for 80-100k and modernize it with the remainder
The key words were. "Hi, I am outside Boulder Colorado.". I live here, she just skipped out a save. Amazing
Depends on where you want to live and if mobility is important. The average home in my county is $700k.
It's great if you can go wherever you want and make a living. Not everyone can do that. You can move and hope to get a job where you want to live. But, more often than not, the lifestyle you live and the work you are good at, isn't available in the place that is cheaper.
You are correct, however there are actually even more considerations.
I have MS, one of our children is a high level gymnast, our son wants to be a pilot(in addition to law school), plus we have a swimmer & dancer(a bit more common activities)
There aren't many places in the country that can meet all of our needs!! Most rural areas for sure aren't going to do it. Just medical care alone can be difficult to find/coordinate outside of a major city.
And that's assuming hubs could find a job in that area.
No thanks!!
@@michaelcrowley9008 When in areas like Boulder, where fires demolish many homes, this is mobile. There are increasingly more places to park these and the greater the demand, the more places will open. Its one of an increasing number of micro housing options.
The rent is for the land?!?
Beautiful home 🏡
Try making that king sized bed jammed against a wall
$175k and $725 p month cheap???? You could buy 5 houses for that, and dont pay rent plus save money in bank every month!!!!😮
Tiny home or not....I like them. But the real problem is the prices ppl are willing to pay for any home large or small. When the consumers actually control the market. If nobody buys it can't be sold.... price drops.....people continue to buy......drive up the prices.....lol.... You really can build a house for cheaper. Go bushcraft..... 😂 Spend 300 bands on 1 or 200 acres cut all the trees you want build your own tiny, or mansion. I'm not being negative all I'm saying is to each his or her own. U gotta get in where you fit in. Me I think I'mma try the off grid living
She paid what I paid to buy an old place on 1/3 acre and renovate it. Her monthly payment is more than mine would be (I have none) if I took out an Equity Line of credit (LOC) to do the roof, siding, and have it painted. And my house should last 15 yrs without any other maintenance (I have new plumbing, electrical, a shored up foundation, new HVAC, and a garage. Oh, also 2 more bedrooms and another bath!
Wow!! Lot of money but perfectly beautiful!!!
Her definition of tiny house is larger than mine. How many Cubic feet is that.
It’s cute but not worth the price. For this price you could buy a real house and with time refinance it. I have a friend that lives in a cute townhome, she only pays $700 in mortgage after some years living there. With time, just the land rent will cost more than homeowners are paying in mortgage. Although, it is very cute, it’s expensive.
I am seeing videos now for small manufactured capsule homes that are like 20 grand. Now these tiny homes are getting so expensive!
Wow, so many negative price comments Looks amazing. A trashy home in Boulder is well over a million. Peace of mind she has to not switch schools and be stable. Amazing.
As you mention, one of the advantages of a tiny home is being able to move it to another location. But, I’ve always wondered how many tiny homes ever actually get relocated. I’ve read that mobile homes, despite the name, are rarely moved once purchased and parked. It’s expensive to move these and places that permit tiny homes are limited.
@@Dogsnarktrailers cannot be moved when they are older. Lots of people in trailer parks cry over that unfortunate fact. No solid foundation? No land? Depreciating asset?
A fancy jail cell, people deserve so much more! We work so hard in life that we should be able to have nice homes! I don't like how Expensive this is because you don't get land to go with it! Always looking for a place to park!!!! Nope not for me!
how about this, move it to a place where it has a great view then take nice photos and put it on air B&B for 200-400 dollars and you'd be making a fortune out of it, trust me I did it and im earning from 80,000 to 170,000 a year
How u build a house but pay rent?
Beautiful windows on the upper part. Lets in such gorgeous light and illusion of space.
She paid $175k to build the home and the rental cost separately is $725.
Only in the US would that be called "tiny".....its not even small 😂😂
Are you crazy? That’s outrageous!
Paid for the house AND pays rent?? Uh? Is she crazy?
No livingroom?
Beautiful tiny house! And God bless you on your journey!
This is absolutely amazing. I love it 🥰. Once I get the money . I will build me a house like that
175 G sounds like to much to me,considering other options that mite be bettr options
Too much money to to fall back into the rent game.....
Love love love it do you and have fun on your journey, have dinner outside I am not the bold I am just saying
Nice, but for that price $$$ yu can purchase a 2 story. (5) bd rm regular house... more space.
In Boulder Colorado?
This is nice ❤
Peeps she financed 175,000 - the down payment. Problem is.... if paid out over 20-30 years. $275k-$400k. And will depreciate dramatically. Screwed.
Or she paid $175k and 750 to lease a spot to drop it. $10k a year. And continues to depreciate....screwed.
No one is looking for a tiny house to gain equity. The purpose is to be able to afford a decent life daily. The space rent is no different then paying a no good HOA fee. Alot of people just don't get it. This is Brilliant
Hi guys, a nice tiny home it appears appears quite spacious for the design, notice the gap between to second loft and the stair, concern for a child climbing the room.
This is insane cost and still another almost $700 a month wow it’s wild how people who are honestly rich don’t see how crazy they spend their $.
Research home and rental costs in her area, and you'll see that she made a wise investment for herself. Where I am (east coast), homes sell for $700k and up, and rent for a 2BR apartment averages over $2k. She spent $175k, and her ongoing cost is just the lot rent. That may be high compared to some places, but not in her area, or lots of others.
@Whyuwannaknow4 The cost of the home depends on size, material, and features. Lot rent depends on location, size, and amenities. I've seen lots for $300 in the sticks that were just land, no utility connections, septic, or water. This is not that, so the price, in an expensive area, is logically higher.
How much for the land where is parked at?
❤❤❤
Cost too much and lot rent is nuts. What u thinking 🤔🤔🤔
Lucky you, its beautiful, I'd live there
So you paid to build it, and still paying rent? What am I missing?
She ownes the home outright, the rent is for the parking space
It's nice and you did an outstanding job...A well built Single Wide trailer would have been a good choice especially raising kids...At any rate I wish You well on you and your children's life's journey.I must say,You are very talented. You could start/have an extremely positive career in remodeling, construction, designing Home's..Good Luck and GodBless..Can't wait to see what you design next..😃☀🌻🌞🌼😀..
Tiny house = Trailer park
The tiny home is so cozy 😊❤.
Great design. Only thing Id add is glass panel up to ceiling from storage by bed & a door so you both have audio privacy in your bedrooms.
Cool nice skylights
what are the measurements please?
34 × 10
Omg you pay as much as people spend on property tax or fees for a condominium! I had no CLUE colorado was in demand these days lol
You can buy a house for that much
THIS IS GORGEOUS
That's not a tiny house.
Ok that's it am getting a tiny house ..... ❤
All of these tiny homes make me drowsy because they're so cozy. 😴
$175k? How much does a stick-built 2 bedroom home cost to construct? Land not included, but she’s renting land for $725/ month… And this will depreciate. Beautiful, but idk about this one…
I was thinking the same thing, and $725 isn't cheap
Maybe this is the only ‘luxury’ or close to, she’ll ever be able to afford so she jumped the gun lol. Idk if you thought about that
The average home price in Boulder, CO is 1 million dollars. 175k by comparison is a steal. To even rent a 2 bedroom in that area will set her back $2000-4,000 per month. She's getting a steal
Eww no way. Not worth it at all.
Not a tiny house
That much money may as well live in a house
Not in Boulder
@@brettsarahavari I’m guessing it is expensive in boulder?
Its beautiful ..yes but ive got a 3bedroom 1400squ house w a big bk yard and porch .wood floors & french doors ..its was $34,000..0f coarse its Vintage "....i think its charming....*American Craftsman Bungalow".
