buy cheap plot of land
buy a $20-30k tiny home from amazon
no loans so can save and invest 70-80% of paycheck
buy a real house after a few years
If I was a rentoid living somewhere without harsh winters, I'd rather do this than flush money down the toilet every month
most of the US now has minimum size limits on houses.
Protip, tiny homes aren't allowed. They're in the same class as RV's, tents, and sprinter vans.
nobody wants poor people putting up tiny shacks and living in them
Many of them just look like newer cabins. Pic related is $34k.
Living in a cabin for 3-5 years to escape the hamster wheel of poverty doesn't seem like that bad of a trade
I refuse to join a race of ever lowering standards. How low a quality home will people accept? Why not live in cardboard box on the street? It would have more dignity, charities might donate to you, and overall is simplier to achieve.
Just go remote and leverage cheap countries
source on that cabin?
That is quite literally ai slop retard
Zoning laws don’t apply to tiny homes on wheels or rvs
hail satan destroys tiny chink made houses nigger
this one is from pakistan nigger
This works as long as you aren’t in California
As an european i can say these houses are horrendous.
Can't american build cheap and decent looking houses? Its like they love ugliness
these are chink made shit house nigger
I lived in cargo container housing when I worked as a contractor in afghanistan.
You guys don't want it. Believe me.
Yes its suitable as temporary housing, but its not way for a man to live long term much less raise a family in.
OP literally said just to live in until you can buy a real house…. Reading comprehension check
if you were to do this, how much would plumping cost? I'm assuming a random plot of land wouldn't already have plumbing in place so how does that even work? Are you collecting rainwater or is there a system in place?
you're better off living in south america.
you can't just build whatever the fuck you want in most states. there are building and zoning laws. Look up the cost of just a septic tank. through the roof.
buy cheap plot of land
has to announce to the thread they're european and seethe unprompted about America
We know.
kek
looks horrendous
It doesn’t look bad at all. For $35k, you aren’t going to get much. The point of the OP is to live in that as a temporary means to save up money. Me personally, I wouldn’t mind living in something like that on large acreage. Looks pretty comfy
Because it costs a fuckton to set up a well. You would need a location with a water line. Septic is not too bad. Also the price of the cabin is the price of the materials. You still need to have it built, wired and plumbing.
It wasn’t that long ago where you could buy good land for low prices. At one point, I was thinking of relocating to Kentucky before covid hit and they had a bunch of prime real estate for cheap. I haven’t kept up with it in a few years but last I checked the prices skyrocketed. There are still cheap plots of land out there but they are on the lower end of the scale and you have to compromise a lot of convenience for it.
Yeah, America (the Land of the Free) doesn't want you cheating the system. You will own nothing and you will be happy.
I just bought an acre of land in Tennessee for 5k and put a modular home on it. Although mine was more expensive it's a 4 bed 3 bath house 2000 sq ft. But just putting electric septic and water on the land was 30k
Rural water lines or a well?
Forgot pic
Well
Doesn't sound like a bad idea at all, though you may just look at getting an RV so you don't have to pay property taxes on a house
It's a temporary measure to stay out of debt and build wealth. Plus, the average single male doesn't use anything other than a phone and a computer in his day to day life, so a small one bedroom house is perfectly sufficient for most of us. As long as you have a bed, a couch, a dining area, a desk, a kitchen, a bathroom, maybe some storage, you are good. A young guy in his 20's trying to work hard and save to build wealth needs very little in life to be happy.
Wouldn’t you pay property taxes regardless?
2000sqft is big. What’s the area like? Do you live next to a bunch of inbreds in the middle of nowhere or is it not that bad?
How much did that cost you? I'm guessing 300k.
Yes, but the property taxes on land with a permanent house on it are higher than those on basic land. If you're trying to save money you don't to be paying thousands in property taxes.
What some people do is put a trailer or tiny home on the land then build a brick facade around the base to make it look like a normal house.
land of the free
Its like they love ugliness
they're mutts, it runs through their veins
they also claim to be free while being the most policed nation on earth over the littlest things and a wealthy first world country while the vast majority have less than $1,000 in savings
What about plumbing, electricity, gas, internet, etc?
You dont even live in houses eurpoor. Your apartment is not a house.
Kek it's like they painted architecture on the way nucars paint on ground clearance.
120k
I love it my inlaws own 200 acres and my whole side of the street, they also own 50 acres across the street and there like 4 other houses on my road.
You could probably do that if you have a WFH remote job that can be done over Starlink from the middle of nowhere.
Most jobs, especially "real" jobs, require going somewhere specific, like an office or factory or customers' houses. You can't really live in the middle of Wyoming if your job is to repair HVAC systems in Chicago.
Retarded take. Having a small house doesn't mean living in a shitbox. I spent ten years in an ocean-view penthouse apartment and it was only about 700 square feet and $670/month. It was great. I can't wait to be able to move the fuck out of this first-world shithole and go get someplace similar again. Scooter ride to the beach any time I want, nice weather most of the year, only the occasional hurricane to deal with.
Based Floridian, east coast?
Now pay 60k to run gas/electric./etc. out to the building
thats pretty much what I did. 20k land, 20k power / water /sewer, 50k in materials, about 40k in labor, that was a while ago now though. comparable rent in the area would have been 1000-1200 at the time, instead i owned it 5 years and then doubled my money instead of wasting 60 or 70k. rentoids are poor because they're brain dead.
it probably is 60k is if it's a mile from the nearest line, maybe more. lots of places have utility laws that charge by the distance. electric is cheap its water sewer and gas that's expensive, usually water and sewer are done together. lots of people skip gas and just get it delivered, thats what I did as the break even for running a line was around a decade. make sure you ask because if they can dig once for all the lines it will save lots.
Do you people not know what property taxes are? Like are you so functionally retarded, or lucky to live in a place with no property taxes, to not realize that you are always RENTING, if not from a landlord, then from the government. When you combine the fact that you are renting from government with the fact that you have to pay for the upkeep costs on the house, then you quickly realize it is much smarter to rent and invest. Retards like unironically think they can truly own land in the West and it's hilarious. Big KEK
