you MAY need a permit for a shed depending on area, but it is just illegal in general, regardless of state or province. It is illegal because In this sense, the purchaser is using what should be a shed as a dwelling. You are not legally allowed to have an accessory shed as a livable/rentable house (because it is not taxed and treated as such). It is against zoning laws, safety standards, applicable boards for housing standards. It is against many many federal, state, and bylaws and very illegal. You can try to do this, but if people find out and complain, you can get in some trouble. A shed MAY qualify as a home but it must face very strict building code standards which most sheds aren't designed for at all and would need a complete retrofit. A lot of those tiny homes videos you may have watched are different because they are either designated as mobile homes, or mini homes, which again have different standards and rules. A shed would NOT fit into any of these categories and unfortunately is not a legal, livable home.
@@mythcrafts the first and most obvious logistical problem is where to put it, pretty much every area of land you encounter is going to be owned by someone and obviously they won't like having a random small house appear one day. But then, as the guy above said, there are general requirements to make a house legally something you can live in. These requirements are often surprisingly strict. In many places bedrooms have to have windows, for instance. Obviously insulation and running water are also big problems.
This is not revolutionary or amazing. This is dystopian. Amazon is selling slightly oversized Walmart garden sheds as houses here. This is some sort of next level trailer park living.
the problem aint that it is dystopian, that dont mean shit the problem is that it aint work if it works it works, but it has problems that makes it not work
no. this is a shittier version of trailer park living. for the amount of money this dude spent he could have gotten a doublewide trailer and gotten twice as much space.
you can buy a literal 4 bedroom house with a pretty big yatd for 70k in finland where im from, in smaller cities you can buy an 2 bedroom apartment for 20k and not even one in a bad shape but in decent, well to be fair after 2020 its a bit more expensive but notmmuch. I bought a duplex house that had 2x 2 bedroom apartments and both had big kitchens etc lots of space an attic storage and 2 rooms down stairs for storage since they at the time had onlu concrete walls and floors and a big sauna and a big garage etc it has around 30 yards of a beach line in a lake in the corner of back yard, i re did all the floors , ceilings and floors we did new electricity and fuseboxes etc new tiles snd everything but believe it or not the house cost 76k and my gather managed to negotiate it down to 68k and we would empty everything they did not want becouse they wanted to get rid of it, their father had passed away and it was his house. Deals like this all the time. But the houde is less than 2 miles from city central but is in a family oriented part of town with lots of forrest etc and 5 lakes to go swimming in a 1,5 mile radius and ocean like a mile away etc in a beatifull 500 year old city.

Are you fuckers living in Airbnb’s or something? You’re only supposed to use those for like a week at most. Why is everyone acting like he’s forcing people to live in the shack by offering to set people live in the shack. Lol
One time I had to find a new place on short notice and I ended up relying on AirBnB. I'd say roughly 100% of the places I stayed fit this description. One of them was a bedroom next to this lady's illegal grow operation (literally, between that room and the bathroom).
You get what you pay for. Not hard to msg the seller and ask for a scale video of it when opened up. I mean if you are spending more than 1000 and not using due diligence on the item and making sure its correct, then you deserve to be taught why you should. Its like buying a car. You don't go do it alone or unguided if you have no idea about the market and issues you can have. Size of the item is the first thing you check when buying anything online thats cheaper than it should be in your head.
@@drunkpaulocosta9301 that's not what they were saying? m8, the guy in the video didn't ask for an upgrade, he GOT one once amazon heard that he would be making a video about it, probably assuming it would be a review. considering the fact that it is a PLASTIC, UNFOLDABLE HOUSE, they likely wanted to make sure he'd be more inclined to say good things about the product, even if it sucks
You could just buy a steel barn for the same price and its bigger and has room for a 2nd floor. And yes, some companies will build it for you, no extra cost.
I'm a civil engineer who has worked with prefab houses so let me tell you this. These houses are essentially containers with holes and minimal insulation, so they're pretty small in general. You have to pay extra to have outlets and all the electricity stuff. You need to build a minimal foundation since they're so small but I wouldn't recommend them for areas with earthquakes and other extreme climate conditions or you'll end up like Dorothy in the wizard of Oz.
From the 1900s-1940s, Sears (then Sears-Roebuck) used to sell homes through their mail catalogue, they ranged from small to big ranch style homes, and basically you would receive pre-cut wood pieces that you (and I guess neighbors or friends) could assemble together, over the course of several weeks to a month, and the end products looked pretty good! (as long as you knew what you were doing) Back then, people could forego bank loans and mortgages and purchase their homes through Sears-Roebuck's loan program, which almost always resulted in the buyer getting a loan (so they could buy from Sears-Roebuck) but when the Great Depression hit, Sears also took a massive hit and ended up having to foreclose on a LOT of those homes. Think about a house you built with you own hands being taken away by the company you bought it from... Anyways, a lot of those homes are actually still around and as long as they haven't been too renovated you can often tell which homes are from the catalogue! Just thought it was interesting that history was repeating itself
From 1900? You mean to tell me that part of Red Dead Redemption 2 where you do literally buy a house out of a catalogue to build yourself was historically accurate?! I guess I shouldn't be that surprised but wow...
@@shwahgamer Sears was founded in 1892. The westward expansion of the railroad made it possible for basically anyone in the US to order anything by mail and have it delivered near enough to them that they could pick it up in an afternoon. They had MASSIVE warehouses dedicated to catalogue and mail order shopping until the late 80s/early 90s Right when the internet started picking up they decided the way of "the future" was brick and mortar stores so they closed their mail order business. If they had moved their catalogues to the internet instead they would be bigger than Amazon.
The fact that he'd buy a house without having the land to purchase it on, tells us that he has a much bigger problem than ugly couches. He needs therapy.
Why because you want to stay at the ritz for £50? It's a perfectly fine place to stay, they have hotels like this in France called Premiere Classe, Paris is expensive I'm not gonna spend £200 a night on a hotel, so I stayed at premiere classe, I'm only sleeping there what difference does it make?
The reason so many people are suggesting renting to salon workers is due to the nature of the industry. Most people don't realize that many hair stylists usually have to go through a process called booth renting. If a stylist can't afford to run their own salon they usually have to rent a space inside an existing salon to serve clients.
Much respect to Danny Gonzalez for actually bringing up how wrong it is to make an AirBnB out of one of these tiny houses that the guy who bought it himself wouldn't even live in.
I was all ready to be sympathetic to the guy because this being the only path to homeownership for a lot of people is absolutely depressing and then he hit us with the “I’ll just turn it into an Airbnb” and those feelings quickly turned into rage lmao
At least when he's buying some random product from a new brand there's a tiny chance he's directly supporting a product by some real person trying to make a honest living. If he just starts testing Amazon products it'll be a boring advertisement of possibly the worst place to work.
Tiny home enthusiast here. Pre fab tiny homes are becoming more and more common. I’ve seen them from Home Depot, Lowes etc. but I’ve seen taller ceilings in all of them. All of them need the drywall, electrical and plumbing it seems. I think all of that would still be less expensive than buying a custom tiny home from a tiny home builder.
or here me out here. just buy a trailer and save yourself literal 10s of thousands in permits and extra work( ellectrical , insulation, ect.) for a home with no resell value.
Crossover between the lady that's digging a mineshaft under her neighborhood and a broke person that has been tricked into living in a 6 ft tall origami
Ever since Danny stopped saying whats up greg I've become clinically depressed. My bones have become squishier, my butthole tighter. Pls bring back the la croix 😔
Yall, if you really want affordable housing. The usda has 0 down loans you can spend on actual land and a real proper manufactured home. I've seen basic models go for 30-40k but you can get rather nice ones still cheaper than stick and brick. Just has to be in an area officially marked as rural. (Some cities are slow and suburban areas are still marked rural) Another option for those who just cant do country life is condos. Like apartments but it's cheaper than rent and has a much more doable down payment. Just make sure you double check those hoa fees and what they go to.
aren't they just essentially recreating trailer homes? Like, the housing market is so bad that people are willing to buy prefab trailer houses on Amazon lmao
This guy bought a 26k house without a second thought when he doesn't even have a place for it.. How are people so bad with their money, he would be better off gambling it.
yeah this is kinda driving me insane, i cant even imagine being in a position where i am able to impulsively spend 26 THOUSAND dollars on a plastic house and its just a silly haha "take the card away" moment. but oh hey theyre turning it into an air bnb, landlords are all just universally stupid as fuck i guess
Now I'm an impulsive buyer and VERY bad with my money, but even I would think very hard about dropping this much money on something. And I also wouldn't buy this
These houses are mainly meant for places that don't really suffer from severe weather and these are also meant as relatively cheap cottages and so on if you don"t really have money or regular cottage at your hand.
Danny, you are 100% correct that increasing the housing supply with higher density housing would make it generally more affordable, but two main factors prevent it from going forward: zoning/politics and developer interest. 1) in most places in the US at least, in order to build higher density housing, the real estate has to be zoned for it, and a lot of current home-owners in those areas don't want to risk their home values to decrease as a result of the new development (aka NIMBYs) 2) there are far fewer housing developers than there used to be as a result of both the 2008 financial crisis and more recently as a result of mortgage interest rates rising, so if the development project isn't profitable enough, and generally "affordable" housing isn't as profitable as "luxury" housing is to build and sell (unless it is subsidized by the local or state gov... also not usually popular with local residents, because it costs addtl tax money), there won't be a lot of interest in developing these projects. This is why you continue to see more and more "luxury" condos and apartments still being built, but almost no affordable housing. Side-note: these luxury apartments often just get sold and flipped back into Airbnbs... so it is a self-perpetuating problem.
the main thing for me is, there needs to be an option in this price point. i am a 31 yr old. married for 5 years. my wife is disabled and cant work. we are a single income house hold. we have been stuck in a cycle of renting because we will probably never be able to own a house or be able to move. we are literally stuck where we are. there needs to be a livable option where someone can own a place at this price point, and not have to rent it, have the chance to and save up. i think that this is a viable option. if not, there needs to be a focus on making more options like in this price range.
ah yes, the solution to the housing crisis: uninsulated boxes that are probably even more expensive to upkeep. definitely not just increasing regular ass housing.
@@safetyscissors9281 idk id say its because ppl selling them want to make money off the barest amount of work but maybe im cynical. i dont think the solution to desperation should have to be settling for crumbs.
It's because capitalism breeds ingenuity. It totally doesn't just motivate people to try and make money any way they can, even under the guise of solving a problem.
@@pastaboiii3324 so do many actual offices. these are just the basic rooms that go into most buildings. houses have safety features and have to abide by building codes that these glorified sheds don't.
That was my thought too. My thoughts kept going to what about things like water rights that actual houses have. If you are going to buy a plot of land plus a house there are options if you really are going this far. I can get a house in Haxtun Colorado for 100 something thousand if I am that desperate
@@pastaboiii3324 At my job, they were doing renovations so they plopped one of these outside and we spent a few months working in there. My job has a kitchen and bathrooms inside, so it made sense to have those in the temporary trailer too
Right 😢😢 like my down payment was actually $20,000 and this guy had $6,000 more than me; he probably could've gotten a better one tbh 😅 but he's just a scum bag landlord
And then be stuck paying it off for thirty years where you are one bad day from losing your house? nope. I'd buy one of these and land for in a heart beat if it meant owning free and clear. Not everyone wants an investment, some people just want a home.
@@functionatthejunctionThen you'd still have to get a mortgage to hook it up properly with indoor plumbing and everything. Just a septic system and well would cost you at least $30k. Not to mention the foundation (another $15-25k) and electric ($10k) and everything else. And you'd have to buy the land. But it wouldn't matter since they are not going to be code compliant anywhere and the local government could condemn it and prevent you from living there or allowing anyone else to live there. You'd also have no resale value and miss out on all the capital gains of owning a real house.
here in austria it's normal for people living in cities rent gardens in the outskirts of town or around a lake. a lot of people have little hits just like in the video so they can soend the summer in their garden
Danny a lot of like black hairstylist actually do use sheds and smaller rooms to braid in the same as nail techs and etc it’s actually really popular 😭
Also cosmetologists/estheticions can’t legally work out of their own houses (in most states anyway) so this could work as a studio space for that. Still wouldn’t recommend it cause there’s no weather proofing or anything though
Umm no. There are many states you can work from home. Usually you just need a detached or separate bathroom for the clients. I've live(d) in 2 of them. So 🤷♀️ is possible
I really dislike the article suggesting tiny homes are an affordable option, the expensive part of the home is the land it has to go on. Prefabs allow you to assemble a neighbourhood quickly but they don’t actually do much of anything to reduce the price of housing. Prefab homes have been around for a long time and they haven’t prevented housing markets from exploding.
@@nyancat8828 House refers to a building in which someone lives. In contrast, a home can refer either to a building or to any location that a person thinks of as the place where she lives and that belongs to her. So no, not exactly.
@@nyancat8828 it's not a solution, or at least, not a good one. just a thought I had when the video showed the article about how millennials are supposedly beating the housing crisis by buying these so-called "tiny homes" that are really just glorified sheds. esp bc danny was correct abt missing middle housing in the US - most places are zoned for either massive apartment complexes or single-dwelling units in an endless suburban sprawl.
seems awfully convenient to me that an amazon employee just happened to see his video, “loved it”?? & hooked him up with a bigger “house” plus some very random furniture… when he clearly was never planning on living in it… it screams undisclosed ad/partnership to me, but maybe I’m too skeptical lol
I agree, but I’m so baffled by it-who is sponsoring it?! Amazon?! They’re not the ones producing and selling the houses, but maybe. The tiny house companies?? Who is going to be influenced by this TikTok, realistically?
And then he proceeds to talk mad shit about the FREE furniture he was given. Not even a thank you or "I'll just reupholster it because I don't like pink."
@@viralgayguy honestly, though. I know tiktok is the prime location for getting people to impulse buy stuff they “need” from amazon, but who is the target audience for impulse buying a house?!😅 other than the guy who actually bought one, never in my life have I heard someone buy a house impulsively. I don’t even think mega rich people do that😂
Man i was so excited to see this guy learn homesteading on his own land free from the confinements of the city but turns out he's a lvl 1 landlord on the slumlord class tree.
If you want to see a proper off-grid homestead build, check out the channel Bombadil Hill on youtube. It's this Aussie guy and his dad, they bought a piece of land in a rural area and installed a military bunker on it. Lovely guys and super chill videos.
Hey Danny, licensed structural engineer here. Depending on your local jurisdiction will affect the legality of this house and also whether you need a foundation, anchorage, additional bracing, and a whole slew of other potential problems. The trick here is that because it can be disassembled you can claim that it is not a permanent structure and therefore is not intended for the structural capacity actual houses are built for. Not does that mean this won't blow over in a storm or fall apart in an earthquake? No. It just means statistically this thing has a low chance (in theory) of being erected in a "100-year wind/seismic event" that traditional homes are build for.
In resume, this shouldn't be used to live or sleep-in, just be used as a extra space to storage something that should suffer outsiders condition, like rain, snow, etc...
If I'm not mistaken, they may be using the same material for the walls that are used for stand-alone "cold rooms" pretty much a pre insulated panel. A lot of motels in regional areas have units made of the same stuff as a cheaper option, usually for workers. They work pretty well.
I'd like to believe these amazon homes would serve a better purpose as emergency/temporary housing for those who have lost homes in natural disasters. I found the appeal of these houses being able to be shipped and assembled so quickly fitting for that. That's my idea, anyway, I could be wrong.
Here’s the thing they’re not gonna tell you 1. You still have to obtain land to place the house on 2. You have to get your land zoned and have the city ALLOW YOU to place that house where THEY tell you to put it on your own yard 3. Running utility lines along with digging out areas for them (plumbing and electrical) is going to be a huge expense 4. With all the other points in mind along with other things I didn’t mention???? You’re looking at approximately well over $500k just to obtain land and place that house there with full electrical capabilities you would add in yourself which also costs insane amounts of money you’re spending ON TOP of the fact that you spent a good $26k on a house alone
I like how they’re tricking us into bringing trailer parks back. “It’s a tiny house! Need somewhere to put your tiny house? Welcome to our Tiny House Village 😉”
If youre spending $30,000+ on a "house" from amazon, just buy a trailer home or some shit, theyre actually insulated and come properly set up for a human being to live in
That’s what I’m saying. There are even a lot of tiny house companies that sell much more livable houses (with higher ceilings) for similar prices. Why this?
I've actually been in a Sears log cabin in canada, where we have pretty cold winters. It's actually decently built and stays warm with the wood stove. Considering it was built like 40 years ago by my mom's friend and his dad it's kept up pretty well
Sears, Roebuck & CO has been around forever, late late 1800s. It's decline was caused by the owner's love for Ayn Rand and invisible hand of the free market and that style of capitalism/objectivism. He implemented these procedures around 2005ish and started to drastically lose money. But he kept going, trying other things in that same vein. That's what ultimately decimated the company. 20 years of Eddie Lampert caused the internal company collapse while the external was impacted by online shopping (but not destroyed, still salvageable, if it weren't for Lampert.) As of January 2024, there are 13 Sears stores in total remaining, 1 in Puerto Rico and 12 in the US. It's actually a really interesting story if you google it. There are tons of articles about it. It's not recent, but it's still very relevant in terms of capitalism and consumerism, or if you just dislike Ayn Rand (me).
13:47 i live in a small college town and, according to airbnb, there are over 900 airbnbs in my town. meanwhile the college students are constantly struggling to find places to live that we can afford-i think there are maybe 10 places available to rent right now. i hate airbnbs so much, we’re being pushed out of our own town by tourists 😭
Yeah, I grew up in West Virginia, so when I graduated high school many of my friends went to WVU in Morgantown, which is very much a college town. I went to school out of state but I would visit friends at the WVU campus, and see the same issue there. Also, the places these landlords would try to pass off as livable housing to rent out to students were absurd, like literal garages.
Let’s focus on who the actual problem people are, the landlords. It’s not people’s fault that they wanna go on vacation, but that’s what hotels or motels are for. Airbnbs are fucking destroying the housing market.
@@NotUnique_ Yeah like there is a massive audition process like Americas got talent. *Foghorn Leghorn Voice* "Now i say boy, thems the best lasso spins i've gone done seen in all of tarnation"

Yeah its almost like he is inadvertantly advertising for amazon. People will forget and realize they are not getting the same house or stuff he is getting.
Actually hearing someone saying they spent $26,000 on a house without even a second thought is so crazy to me. Like I can’t even buy a pack of gum without having to think twice. 🤦🏻♂️

@@bradkirchhoff5703Exactly. I wouldnt mind staying there, I'm assuming it would be more affordable compared to other options.. With airbnbs, I'm only looking for a place to stay and park my car short term.
All things considered, this structure is probably an ideal airbnb scenario. It’s not like he is taking prime real estate in a coveted location. A shanty house on the outskirts of a city sounds perfect for temporary accommodations
Mobile homes, tiny houses, guest homes, even small boats are all available and reasonably priced on Airbnb. I don’t see why not this if someone wishes to travel on a budget? Unless I’m at a resort or want to be luxurious, when I travel I’m spending most of my time exploring the area and just need a safe place to sleep at night. This could fit the bill 🤷🏽♀️
This is new because it is nothing like the catalog houses. This doesn't have a garage, 4 bedrooms, a basement, or even a foundation. Your grandfather's house wasn't unfoldable in 30 minutes. The old Sears houses were just building materials with a guide - not this prefab shed monstrosity with no electrical outlets. Notice in the Amazon listing it said tiny home, but if you pause it, it listed Office Hotel Guard Booth - basically every use BUT a house - likely because it meets no definition of habitable dwelling in almost any jurisdiction.
love how the warning where "people could get hurt" happens when he's trying to rent out his horrible home to other people on AirBnb, which makes me just imagine all the people who rent his airbnb are gonna be so mad about how they were ripped off that they beat the crap outta him
The salon suggestion is a really good idea. People who have their own clients need a private space to do their business. It's way more expensive to rent a space in a salon.
he said he was having the electricity & plumbing taken care of anyway, so it's safe to assume both are things that can be relatively easily added. instead of making it into an air b&b tho, rent it as salon space @@ZombixMix
Tiny houses have annoying laws... You can't just plop one of these wherever you want. Also are we just ignoring the fact this guy has a single credit card with at least $28k limit on it?? I don't think he's hurting for money and would need to live in this place 😂
Yeah I didn't really think about that part. He said was 23? And he has a credit card with a limit of at least 25K (im rounding cause I feel like CC limits are often an even number). I think when I was his age, my one and only credit card had a 8K limit.
You don't need money to have a credit card with a high limit. I'm in debt up to my eyeballs but boy will they give me a credit card with a 15k limit because I know how to game my credit score. That being said, he sounds like a dropshipper (with the "I'mma make this an airbnb" bs) so I'm not surprised at this point.
@@ThroatzillaaaI'm 29 and still never have had a credit card. I only have used a debit card and cash. And I've never seen more than $14,000 in my bank account... Some people have no idea how good they have it...
The only thing I was thinking throughout most of this is that Amazon just keeps regurgitating ideas from other people and calling them original. These houses are just worse kit homes. Kit homes were popularized in the 20th century, and you could literally order one from a Sears catalogue, (or whatever your preferred catalogue of choice was, I just know about the Sears ones.) Which is nearly the exact same thing amazon is doing except that kit houses were made with better materials, and you can tell because it didn't take them eight hours to put up. With a skilled carpenter, you could have them up in a few weeks, or months if you wanted to DIY it. And the fact that most of them are still standing and fully functional as homes. Considering most were built anywhere from 1910 to 1950, that's pretty impressive to me. Then again, I am also biased. Literally the only reason I know about the Sears houses is because that's how my childhood home was built. My grandparents bought it from a Sears catalogue in 1934. Fucking just mail-ordered a home. (Still a fantastic house. We have had to update the plumbing because ceramic pipes are the devil, but that's pretty much the only really intense renovation we've had to do.) There sadly aren't any of the original companies still selling kit houses, and we can put that blame on tract house subdivisions and WW2. tl;dr fuck air bnb and amazon
Kit houses were just raw materials and you had to do the building. Container homes, what we’re seeing in the video, became popular after the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
i'm more pissed at the comment section than i am at that dude. like why do they act like scamming people and potentially putting them in danger is a "smart move"?
When I lived with my parents, my room was the only one in the house without proper insulation and it was TERRIBLE. Looking at those prefab houses on Amazon just gives me flashbacks to those days. I can just imagine you'll be freezing during the winter and boiling in the summer unless you're located in *just* the right area.
People also don’t realize that these things you have to put in all the lines for water and gas yourself. Especially if you’re plopping it on a piece of property that’s never seen a building. That cost a lot of money
It's a shed. You're buying a shed.

you MAY need a permit for a shed depending on area, but it is just illegal in general, regardless of state or province. It is illegal because In this sense, the purchaser is using what should be a shed as a dwelling. You are not legally allowed to have an accessory shed as a livable/rentable house (because it is not taxed and treated as such). It is against zoning laws, safety standards, applicable boards for housing standards. It is against many many federal, state, and bylaws and very illegal.
You can try to do this, but if people find out and complain, you can get in some trouble. A shed MAY qualify as a home but it must face very strict building code standards which most sheds aren't designed for at all and would need a complete retrofit. A lot of those tiny homes videos you may have watched are different because they are either designated as mobile homes, or mini homes, which again have different standards and rules. A shed would NOT fit into any of these categories and unfortunately is not a legal, livable home.
@@mythcrafts the first and most obvious logistical problem is where to put it, pretty much every area of land you encounter is going to be owned by someone and obviously they won't like having a random small house appear one day. But then, as the guy above said, there are general requirements to make a house legally something you can live in. These requirements are often surprisingly strict. In many places bedrooms have to have windows, for instance. Obviously insulation and running water are also big problems.
That’s why you learn and do it yourself🙂 I could set that all up in a 400sq ft basically shed for about 2-3000
@andrewg5672 that is only dependent on what state you live in. In GA it is completely leagl.
This is not revolutionary or amazing. This is dystopian. Amazon is selling slightly oversized Walmart garden sheds as houses here. This is some sort of next level trailer park living.

Right
you can buy a literal 4 bedroom house with a pretty big yatd for 70k in finland where im from, in smaller cities you can buy an 2 bedroom apartment for 20k and not even one in a bad shape but in decent, well to be fair after 2020 its a bit more expensive but notmmuch. I bought a duplex house that had 2x 2 bedroom apartments and both had big kitchens etc lots of space an attic storage and 2 rooms down stairs for storage since they at the time had onlu concrete walls and floors and a big sauna and a big garage etc it has around 30 yards of a beach line in a lake in the corner of back yard, i re did all the floors , ceilings and floors we did new electricity and fuseboxes etc new tiles snd everything but believe it or not the house cost 76k and my gather managed to negotiate it down to 68k and we would empty everything they did not want becouse they wanted to get rid of it, their father had passed away and it was his house. Deals like this all the time. But the houde is less than 2 miles from city central but is in a family oriented part of town with lots of forrest etc and 5 lakes to go swimming in a 1,5 mile radius and ocean like a mile away etc in a beatifull 500 year old city.
Gotta love the mindset. “It’s not good enough for me to live in so I’m going to turn this into a shitty rental to make it someone else’s problem”
"I will make someone pay me to live in a plastic improvise temporary house and make it their problem." This is a really a step on become a weird billionaire without having the money.
this is the mindset of most landlords tbh

You get what you pay for. Not hard to msg the seller and ask for a scale video of it when opened up.
I mean if you are spending more than 1000 and not using due diligence on the item and making sure its correct, then you deserve to be taught why you should.

Size of the item is the first thing you check when buying anything online thats cheaper than it should be in your head.

I'm a civil engineer who has worked with prefab houses so let me tell you this. These houses are essentially containers with holes and minimal insulation, so they're pretty small in general. You have to pay extra to have outlets and all the electricity stuff. You need to build a minimal foundation since they're so small but I wouldn't recommend them for areas with earthquakes and other extreme climate conditions or you'll end up like Dorothy in the wizard of Oz.

From the 1900s-1940s, Sears (then Sears-Roebuck) used to sell homes through their mail catalogue, they ranged from small to big ranch style homes, and basically you would receive pre-cut wood pieces that you (and I guess neighbors or friends) could assemble together, over the course of several weeks to a month, and the end products looked pretty good! (as long as you knew what you were doing) Back then, people could forego bank loans and mortgages and purchase their homes through Sears-Roebuck's loan program, which almost always resulted in the buyer getting a loan (so they could buy from Sears-Roebuck) but when the Great Depression hit, Sears also took a massive hit and ended up having to foreclose on a LOT of those homes. Think about a house you built with you own hands being taken away by the company you bought it from... Anyways, a lot of those homes are actually still around and as long as they haven't been too renovated you can often tell which homes are from the catalogue! Just thought it was interesting that history was repeating itself
I love comments like these
I actually grew up in a Sears Prefab house!
It's a pretty interesting part of history to grow up in.
From 1900? You mean to tell me that part of Red Dead Redemption 2 where you do literally buy a house out of a catalogue to build yourself was historically accurate?! I guess I shouldn't be that surprised but wow...
@Bbqbbq13 me too😊
@@shwahgamer Sears was founded in 1892. The westward expansion of the railroad made it possible for basically anyone in the US to order anything by mail and have it delivered near enough to them that they could pick it up in an afternoon. They had MASSIVE warehouses dedicated to catalogue and mail order shopping until the late 80s/early 90s Right when the internet started picking up they decided the way of "the future" was brick and mortar stores so they closed their mail order business. If they had moved their catalogues to the internet instead they would be bigger than Amazon.

The reason so many people are suggesting renting to salon workers is due to the nature of the industry. Most people don't realize that many hair stylists usually have to go through a process called booth renting. If a stylist can't afford to run their own salon they usually have to rent a space inside an existing salon to serve clients.
Much respect to Danny Gonzalez for actually bringing up how wrong it is to make an AirBnB out of one of these tiny houses that the guy who bought it himself wouldn't even live in.

Yall, if you really want affordable housing. The usda has 0 down loans you can spend on actual land and a real proper manufactured home. I've seen basic models go for 30-40k but you can get rather nice ones still cheaper than stick and brick. Just has to be in an area officially marked as rural. (Some cities are slow and suburban areas are still marked rural)
Another option for those who just cant do country life is condos. Like apartments but it's cheaper than rent and has a much more doable down payment. Just make sure you double check those hoa fees and what they go to.
Please tell me more about this😭
Condos can be payed for and then owned right?

Danny, you are 100% correct that increasing the housing supply with higher density housing would make it generally more affordable, but two main factors prevent it from going forward: zoning/politics and developer interest.
1) in most places in the US at least, in order to build higher density housing, the real estate has to be zoned for it, and a lot of current home-owners in those areas don't want to risk their home values to decrease as a result of the new development (aka NIMBYs)
2) there are far fewer housing developers than there used to be as a result of both the 2008 financial crisis and more recently as a result of mortgage interest rates rising, so if the development project isn't profitable enough, and generally "affordable" housing isn't as profitable as "luxury" housing is to build and sell (unless it is subsidized by the local or state gov... also not usually popular with local residents, because it costs addtl tax money), there won't be a lot of interest in developing these projects.
This is why you continue to see more and more "luxury" condos and apartments still being built, but almost no affordable housing. Side-note: these luxury apartments often just get sold and flipped back into Airbnbs... so it is a self-perpetuating problem.
the main thing for me is, there needs to be an option in this price point. i am a 31 yr old. married for 5 years. my wife is disabled and cant work. we are a single income house hold. we have been stuck in a cycle of renting because we will probably never be able to own a house or be able to move. we are literally stuck where we are. there needs to be a livable option where someone can own a place at this price point, and not have to rent it, have the chance to and save up. i think that this is a viable option. if not, there needs to be a focus on making more options like in this price range.

Hey Danny, licensed structural engineer here. Depending on your local jurisdiction will affect the legality of this house and also whether you need a foundation, anchorage, additional bracing, and a whole slew of other potential problems. The trick here is that because it can be disassembled you can claim that it is not a permanent structure and therefore is not intended for the structural capacity actual houses are built for. Not does that mean this won't blow over in a storm or fall apart in an earthquake? No. It just means statistically this thing has a low chance (in theory) of being erected in a "100-year wind/seismic event" that traditional homes are build for.

2. You have to get your land zoned and have the city ALLOW YOU to place that house where THEY tell you to put it on your own yard

Or down-payment for an actual house 😂
Bro how cheap do you think trailers are? 😂 They cost like 200-400k
LOL a trailer home cost the same as a regular house except you can't get a regular home loan (it's more like a car loan) unless you buy with land.
@@fauna5328 the tiny ones thooo
That’s what I’m saying. There are even a lot of tiny house companies that sell much more livable houses (with higher ceilings) for similar prices. Why this?
"I hope you buy a house on Amazon" sounds like a passive-aggressive way to say you hate someone.
"I wish you nothing but financial setbacks and just enough money to get yourself a treat before that shed collapses."

The people yearn for the return of Sears kit homes
I've actually been in a Sears log cabin in canada, where we have pretty cold winters. It's actually decently built and stays warm with the wood stove. Considering it was built like 40 years ago by my mom's friend and his dad it's kept up pretty well
yeah we want them back
Sears, Roebuck & CO has been around forever, late late 1800s. It's decline was caused by the owner's love for Ayn Rand and invisible hand of the free market and that style of capitalism/objectivism. He implemented these procedures around 2005ish and started to drastically lose money. But he kept going, trying other things in that same vein. That's what ultimately decimated the company. 20 years of Eddie Lampert caused the internal company collapse while the external was impacted by online shopping (but not destroyed, still salvageable, if it weren't for Lampert.) As of January 2024, there are 13 Sears stores in total remaining, 1 in Puerto Rico and 12 in the US. It's actually a really interesting story if you google it. There are tons of articles about it. It's not recent, but it's still very relevant in terms of capitalism and consumerism, or if you just dislike Ayn Rand (me).
the sear’s home kits were my first thought as well!
some of those looked so beautiful and like genuinely good homes. i do, in fact, yearn.
2:09 “for only the small price of 35 thousand dollars” is absolutely absurd
13:47 i live in a small college town and, according to airbnb, there are over 900 airbnbs in my town. meanwhile the college students are constantly struggling to find places to live that we can afford-i think there are maybe 10 places available to rent right now. i hate airbnbs so much, we’re being pushed out of our own town by tourists 😭
Yeah, I grew up in West Virginia, so when I graduated high school many of my friends went to WVU in Morgantown, which is very much a college town. I went to school out of state but I would visit friends at the WVU campus, and see the same issue there. Also, the places these landlords would try to pass off as livable housing to rent out to students were absurd, like literal garages.
Let’s focus on who the actual problem people are, the landlords. It’s not people’s fault that they wanna go on vacation, but that’s what hotels or motels are for. Airbnbs are fucking destroying the housing market.
this is how it still is! fairmonts getting like that now too. (':@@Throatzillaaa
Nah, but this guy is adding to the housing supply, not taking away a home that someone else could have bought.
the subreddit for my city is full of people asking "Student coming for 2 semesters, can I air bnb while I find a sharehouse to live?"
NO
i thought the title said "bought a horse on amazon" and i thought you were gonna be bullying aspiring cowboys
Giddyup Daddy was foreshadowing
Aspiring cowboys is so hilarious to for some reason idk what it is but can’t stop laughing
@@NotUnique_ Yeah like there is a massive audition process like Americas got talent.

@@drunkpaulocosta9301 😂😂😂I'm crying
I love the phrase "aspiring cowboy" I feel like I should be calling all 8 year olds with a wild west phase that
i think the reason he can airbnb it is because some people like staying in odd places, like how people will pay to sleep in a supposedly haunted room or in a barbie dreamhouse that’s all pink, i’m sure they’ll be people who wanna stay there.
The videos end was epic 😂😂😂😂 good watch bro just landed a nice sub
i love that the premise is amazon saw his tiktok about how he had nowhere to put his unfolding house, loved it, and gave him a bigger unfolding house
Yeah its almost like he is inadvertantly advertising for amazon. People will forget and realize they are not getting the same house or stuff he is getting.
@@lunova6165the fact that its worse than this lmao
Actually hearing someone saying they spent $26,000 on a house without even a second thought is so crazy to me. Like I can’t even buy a pack of gum without having to think twice. 🤦🏻♂️
Ikr. Not me out here passing by a Little Ceasars and having to think really fuckin hard about if I can afford a fucking $5 hot n ready
I can’t even make a single $4 purchase without doing extensive research and think twice before clicking the button to buy
Nah you got me on the subscription, had me 😂😂😂1st few minutes
I just realize eventually Cody and Danny are gonna be having play dates with their baby boys and they are gonna be best friends with the best sense of humor
that just pisses me off how that guy talked about how unlivable it was then immediately jumped to signing it up for airbnb... i hate this era of having to resort to making scummy money for a quick buck especially with scams and whatnot
Right!? I completely agree. It's so shady and disgusting. It's your basic Slumlord mentality.
He wouldn’t have even needed the sleazy money if he hadn’t impulse purchased a house from bezos 😭
@@gabbyb9939FORREAL like 30k is nothing to scoff at... not to mention the aftermath of adding improvements to the shed which is extra $$$. wtf does bro do for a living
Ive never seen a motel room that was liveable. Yet they are rented out daily. Do you not understand Air BnBs arent purchases? They are short rentals? Gimmicks? Derpty derp…Common sense.
@@bradkirchhoff5703Exactly. I wouldnt mind staying there, I'm assuming it would be more affordable compared to other options.. With airbnbs, I'm only looking for a place to stay and park my car short term.
“only 8 thousand dollars” is crazy
this is just the modern version of ordering your house from the Sears & Roebuck catalog
I knew I liked Danny but hearing him get angry at Airbnb's and landlords confirms it.
Based bro
the groan i let out when he said he was gonna turn it into an airbnb was monstrous lmao
All things considered, this structure is probably an ideal airbnb scenario. It’s not like he is taking prime real estate in a coveted location. A shanty house on the outskirts of a city sounds perfect for temporary accommodations
Mobile homes, tiny houses, guest homes, even small boats are all available and reasonably priced on Airbnb. I don’t see why not this if someone wishes to travel on a budget? Unless I’m at a resort or want to be luxurious, when I travel I’m spending most of my time exploring the area and just need a safe place to sleep at night. This could fit the bill 🤷🏽♀️
Man bought a sukkah on Amazon and is trying to pass it as an AirB&B
My grandfather bought his house at sears in the 1950s. 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, even had a garage in the basement. This is nothing new.
This is new because it is nothing like the catalog houses. This doesn't have a garage, 4 bedrooms, a basement, or even a foundation. Your grandfather's house wasn't unfoldable in 30 minutes. The old Sears houses were just building materials with a guide - not this prefab shed monstrosity with no electrical outlets. Notice in the Amazon listing it said tiny home, but if you pause it, it listed Office Hotel Guard Booth - basically every use BUT a house - likely because it meets no definition of habitable dwelling in almost any jurisdiction.
Imagine renting an air bnb and showing up to see a plastic Amazon house
I honestly expect this to happen
love how the warning where "people could get hurt" happens when he's trying to rent out his horrible home to other people on AirBnb, which makes me just imagine all the people who rent his airbnb are gonna be so mad about how they were ripped off that they beat the crap outta him
Already happen, this only will be a new category of "How you wanted to be screw by AirBnB?".
Same energy as renting out your tool shed as a guest house.
“It seems like you got yourself in a situation most people don’t even know exists” needs to be a shirt 😂😂😂 holyyyy!!! ⚰️
The salon suggestion is a really good idea. People who have their own clients need a private space to do their business. It's way more expensive to rent a space in a salon.
I agree.
But there’s no electricity OR running water
@@ZombixMixRight! Which a salon needs both of those things.
he said he was having the electricity & plumbing taken care of anyway, so it's safe to assume both are things that can be relatively easily added. instead of making it into an air b&b tho, rent it as salon space @@ZombixMix
@@LoveK1I thought the dude said he got the plumbing and electricity done in one of the videos
Tiny houses have annoying laws... You can't just plop one of these wherever you want. Also are we just ignoring the fact this guy has a single credit card with at least $28k limit on it?? I don't think he's hurting for money and would need to live in this place 😂
Yeah I didn't really think about that part. He said was 23? And he has a credit card with a limit of at least 25K (im rounding cause I feel like CC limits are often an even number). I think when I was his age, my one and only credit card had a 8K limit.
You don't need money to have a credit card with a high limit. I'm in debt up to my eyeballs but boy will they give me a credit card with a 15k limit because I know how to game my credit score. That being said, he sounds like a dropshipper (with the "I'mma make this an airbnb" bs) so I'm not surprised at this point.
Could it not be a debit card?
@@ThroatzillaaaI'm 29 and still never have had a credit card. I only have used a debit card and cash. And I've never seen more than $14,000 in my bank account...
Some people have no idea how good they have it...
@@shiannafoxxthis isn't a typical housing transaction lol he could buy it however he pleases
I found this out in the middle of a human geography class for an assessment and i was flabbergasted
"I like your house!" him: "thanks I got it on amazon"
My house don’t jiggle jiggle, it folds 😮
😂
im sure it will also jiggle in light breeze
if it takes 8 hours for one person to unfold it, the force weight must be something significant, yes?
The only thing I was thinking throughout most of this is that Amazon just keeps regurgitating ideas from other people and calling them original. These houses are just worse kit homes. Kit homes were popularized in the 20th century, and you could literally order one from a Sears catalogue, (or whatever your preferred catalogue of choice was, I just know about the Sears ones.) Which is nearly the exact same thing amazon is doing except that kit houses were made with better materials, and you can tell because it didn't take them eight hours to put up. With a skilled carpenter, you could have them up in a few weeks, or months if you wanted to DIY it. And the fact that most of them are still standing and fully functional as homes. Considering most were built anywhere from 1910 to 1950, that's pretty impressive to me.
Then again, I am also biased. Literally the only reason I know about the Sears houses is because that's how my childhood home was built. My grandparents bought it from a Sears catalogue in 1934. Fucking just mail-ordered a home. (Still a fantastic house. We have had to update the plumbing because ceramic pipes are the devil, but that's pretty much the only really intense renovation we've had to do.)
There sadly aren't any of the original companies still selling kit houses, and we can put that blame on tract house subdivisions and WW2.
tl;dr
fuck air bnb
and amazon
Thank you, you're spot on
Kit houses were exactly what I thought of!!
I don't think Amazon is running around claiming to have invented this, though
These aren't even compareable to kit homes, frankly. These are basically jsut trailers.
Kit houses were just raw materials and you had to do the building. Container homes, what we’re seeing in the video, became popular after the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
Bro def regretted buying that
Not him saying “take the card” 😂
i'm more pissed at the comment section than i am at that dude. like why do they act like scamming people and potentially putting them in danger is a "smart move"?
Literally. Its the people buying houses just for them to sit empty most of time that are ruining the housing market.
other people's wellbeing dont matter till someone croaks. something something all laws were written with blood.
because people aspire to oppress.
When I lived with my parents, my room was the only one in the house without proper insulation and it was TERRIBLE. Looking at those prefab houses on Amazon just gives me flashbacks to those days. I can just imagine you'll be freezing during the winter and boiling in the summer unless you're located in *just* the right area.
They're unfinished. It's like buying a shed. You're supposed to put all that in
I would take having to spend a couple grand on installing insulation over the average house price of 700k
People also don’t realize that these things you have to put in all the lines for water and gas yourself. Especially if you’re plopping it on a piece of property that’s never seen a building. That cost a lot of money
alot less than 700k+ im sure@@tjistheb13
I had the same when i lived at my parents of course as soon as i moved out they insulated it..
