Solo Woman Designed Her Dream Tiny House & got Land BUT had to Pivot

День тому

Meet Shelly, who lives in a beautiful tiny house with her dog, Miley. It's 10-ft wide by 28-ft long. She designed it herself around her needs, and Korallus Tiny Homes brought it to life. Her journey was full of ups & downs, like buying land only for the local land use laws to change unexpectedly, forcing her to switch gears. She ended up moving into the LuxTiny tiny home community and is so happy she did!

Shelly has had a winding journey to tiny home living. She planned to put her home on off-grid land and host campers, but the local government unexpectedly changed the zoning laws. Shelly ended up moving into the LuxTiny tiny home village and is so happy she did. Enjoy a tour of a beautifully self-designed 10-ft wide tiny house!

I notice that everyone who lives in a tiny home community comments on how great it is to have neighbors who share the same way of life. They all feel much closer to their neighbors than they did in their prior homes. I especially liked her downstairs. It was laid out nicely and was well decorated! Her yard will be so nice when the plants and trees have a few more years to get established! I really enjoyed this video and I wish her a happy life.

@TinyHouseExpedition Місяць тому

Tiny home communities can be cozy, for sure! But it does seem that most folks we talk to do really enjoy living in them. There's definitely a respectful code about giving people their privacy--more texting, less knocking. And offering a wonderful opportunity for friendly neighbor relationships and full-blown friendships. 💗

Starting over is difficult as we get older. The plus side is you are able to focus on you, now. Having your dog, is your best decision because he is your companion. Downsizing to a Tiny House is the best idea. As you say, peace of mind is in abundance. Don't stay in the past your future looks brighter. Good Luck in your new life. You will be fine. I am Heather from Ontario, Canada. I love your home.

I LOVE THAT LOFT ROOM SIZE. BUT I WOULD NEED A TALLER ONE TO STAND IN. I LOVE THE DECK. I HAVE 2 DOGS (SOPHY & SCOOBY DOO) AND SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD BE IDEAL.

I enjoyed this video. I’m very tempted to go tiny, but I’m concerned about investing so much money in a place where I don’t own the land. If the community owner sells or goes out of business, you are screwed. Are there reasonably priced tiny communities where people can own the lot and collectively set up utilities without restrictive HOA or condo rules?

@jamesmorris8572 Місяць тому

@@valerieann2751 You are wrong about owning the land at Incredible Tiny Homes. The lots are rented and have a yearly lease, and you have to give them a nonrefundable $30,000 upfront key payment for the privilege of leasing the lot, with no guarantee that the lease will be renewed. That's not a misprint-it really is $ 30,000. And they only allow houses that they build and sell to be placed on their lots, so you have to buy from them, or buy from someone who lives there who is selling.

It raises and closes similarly to an umbrella. Works great!

Especially when it comes time to launder and change the sheets) And isn't it amazing how God works and knows more what we need than we do by squashing the plans we thought we wanted. !

Wow, beautiful well thought out home!!! I like that the Landlord offers a good amount of space with the homes and doesn't charge a ton of money. Some of the places out there charge insane prices. More and more people go tiny out of necessity and charging high lot rents defeat the purpose. Sounds like this place is a winner! Hat's off to the Landlord for not being a greedy person!

@reynetallents 20 днів тому

Location plays a lot into the decision of how much to charge for lot rent. Excellent locations will have higher demand, and therefore have higher land purchase fees, construction costs, permit fees, renters Insurance, and land taxes. Those costs get rolled into the monthly rent, along with some profit. Part of the profit will need to be used to pay State and Federal taxes and maintenance like upkeep of roads and common areas. Only those expenses related to maintenance are tax deductible, income taxes are imposed on everything else collected. The land owner deserves to be paid back for all the work and risk involved to buy and get the land ready, and they also deserve to make a decent living.

I'm worried about humidity and mold because you have no circulation under your bed and also lots of humidity from hang drying your laundry. Research air exchangers etc and whatever you can fit under the bed for air circulation. Some people with incredible tiny homes got moldy beds. ( Humans cause moisture in bed at night and condensation from breathing etc let alone baths/ showers, laundry and kitchen cooking etc it all causes humidity that we don't notice. ❤️ It's a beautiful home and yard ! Im sorry that your plans for your land were blocked. Seems a shame we can't do what we want on our own land ( as long as it's safe.) I've always wanted to start a little tiny home village and airbnb etc, it sounds like it might be nice to have some company as well as privacy when you want it.❤❤❤
