5 Homes You Can Buy On Amazon For Under 30K
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 พ.ค. 2024
- Amazon actually has REAL homes for under 30K, not just house plans, but real tiny homes suitable for living. Amazon, known for its vast inventory, offers a variety of houses. Many of these homes can be equipped with insulation and electricity, making them viable for year-round living. The cost-effectiveness of buying versus building a tiny house depends on your DIY skills; while assembling these kits requires some handy work, constructing one from scratch is considerably more complex and potentially more costly, especially if you plan to insulate it for all-season use. If you're ready to embrace a compact lifestyle, Amazon has made it surprisingly easy to get started.

#3
Want to put it in Tampa Florida?
I could not find house 1 on Amazon.
#5 You can put it on my 2 acre property in TN. I'm out in the boonies!
I have a sizable lot in California where there are no concerns for poor weather affecting the structure of the home. Also there is no HOA. I’ve been looking into a few of these in the past. How do we get in touch?
Just a quick note for you, modular homes are NOT built with the same materials as traditional houses. They are much more akin to mobile homes, just a step above them, but overall VERY similar materials (much thinner drywall, smaller studs, et. al.).
Not really. I know of two suppliers that are equivalent in construction to stick built. S2A Modular and Clayton Homes. Modular are built in a factory with standard construction methods and materials
@@michellerahn I know full well how modular homes are built. I do agree that there are likely a small percentage of builders that hold themselves to higher standards, but by and large, modular homes are essentially a mobile home in building material quality.
#3 was built by a container company in needville, tx. Someone stole their design. It was on a televised show.
Containables, season 1, episode 4
Thank you.. better to buy from US.
I love how your channel keeps growing. If you have the funds and can write it off as a business expense for research, you should totally buy it and make a video about it.
What I love about your channel Ms. Smallhorn is that you tell everyone to check with local regulatory authorities. Too often you see people making grandiose claims without doing their own due diligence. It's certainly appreciated.
Thank you for saying so!!
I love the porch on 2. I have an 87 acre farm in Huntingdon, Carroll county, Tn. I would love for it to be tried here. I help people in need. I have always been very Leary of these but I would allow it here. I would love to use my land to test these. As family members get older and need help this would be great so they have their own space yet be here so I could help them so they don’t need to go to a nursing home
Don't buy it.
19ft×19ft, 361sqft but look carefully at the weight: *It's only 400lbs*
Meaning all the pictures are completely fake and it's lightweight garbage (in comparison a wooden storage shed from Home Depot that is 16ft×20ft weighs 1900lbs)
I know the wording and pictures are a bit deceptive. By putting the measurements in inches it sounds big, but most studio apartments are bigger then House #2.
@@susanschneider-baker49 ,
THANK YOU! I was wondering when she was going to catch that these all stated the measurements in INCHES, NOT FEET OR SQUARE FEET! Some people. 💩😱😛
It's "leery". Leary is a last name.
And with that first one, you can see at just a glance if your family member is still fine and hasn’t fallen! 🤣
I just can't see myself buying from a company called Your Homies lol
Right. I thought that was so funny.
House#3. The weight alone during wind storms would give me comfort. Second choice would be house#5.
My favorite was number 2. Great example of the free market finding solutions to the housing problem. Even if you needed to bring in utilities, water, etc, all told it could be quite affordable. I currently live in a 535 sq ft. house, so myself, I'd like a couple hundred more feet. Funny about the wind. We just had 70-90 MPH winds yesterday, with 40-60 MPH today.
I would love there to be more private market solutions but don't estimate the value of public housing when it's done right. We should have the choice of both.
Lol, that first one = flashback to Space:1999 and even 2001: A Space Odyssey! I'd have loved one of these back in the early 80's. These days I've gone back to my growing up in the 70's roots tho. Need the wood.
I was thinking about but the more I thinking I am passing these one. You need to get a septic tank, power and schedule a crane to move to your land.
Not all areas need a septic, power.
@jamesscherping2461 Mine need it. So where you 💩 goes???
Agree. What I would do is take plans to an architect & craft something small but conventional. There are companies that will build all the panels in an enclosed environment then ship them to you on a truck & you can assemble that into your house in hours to a few days, but I think most of these won't hold up & I'm not sure the world needs 'fast houses' on top of fast food, fast fashion & fast / RTA (ready to assemble) furniture. None of the last 3 lasts very long & it all ends up in landfills so to me that's not a great 'solution' to our affordable housing mess.
An incineration toilet and solar panels, Grey water "field". Grey water from shower, sink and washer?.
So. 15-20k in expenses extra? When a two bedroom home in California is literally running for 300-350k rn... I'll take my chances on the construction 🏗️🚧.
Kristina- I really appreciate you reminding us to check and recheck requirements in our area for tiny homes etc. I’m sure this will help so many people avoid frustration and money. Thank you!
House # 5 , and we have 30 acres of land , recreational and rural zoned for tiny. If you want to come to Nova Scotia , we 'd love this !
If you don't own the land underneath, then you own nothing. The landlord can just evict you at any time and you may not be able to move the house so you end up losing everything.
If you think you really own your land, try not paying your property tax. You're just renting it.
@@mgratk That's true but at least you are still entitled to the equity in the land and can sell it for capital gains. With mobile homes, the value is depreciating. It's like owning a car.
@@tacocruiser4238 that’s not true
@@sharonkeef yes it is
That 2nd option I saw at a tiny home show (it's actually the same as option 5)! Not that exact model, but they had their smallest unit (20x20) with the washroom in there and they made sure their models could do 4 seasons in Canada (R32 insulation i think). I was talking with the guy and he said they had to really really push for that from the manufacturer. The other thing, was they had one guy stack 2 units one above the other and pop some stairs in apparently. Hope they post pics of that one.
I like #3 . I worry about all of them being what they are advertised as. I think it is so cool that you are able to purchase one of these homes just to see what you really get for the money! Excited to see which one you choose and to watch the whole process 😉😊
#2 the description literally says plastic. $30,000.00 for a plastic house. No.
That's way better than the houses out where I live. They're made out of cardboard and they cost $500,000USD. When there is a flood your cardboard home is floating in the flash flood
That's always my nightmare is finding where these Homes can go I mean there's a lot of company, so somebody's buying them, but I never see them.
I put a mobile home on two acres. It had a well but everything else was so expensive. Had to put in poles even for electric. Septic tank $15,000. People let their dogs run wild so every animal had to be inclosed. Other than that Martha how was the play?
I like #3. Container homes seem like they'd stand up to adverse weather conditions. At that price point, electric, plumbing, probably wouldn't break the bank. Would really love a screened in porch, stand-up loft and walk-in closet...a girl can dream!
Love all the research you do, and how you find those red flags before you end up with a $30k paperweight! Thank you!
Some of these things are just unsafe.
Ah yes, this reminds me of the dogs dyed like pandas in a China zoo.
Living in a plastic Chinese shoe-box, no thanks.
😂😂😂
let me know when DR horton makes good homes🤣
Have fun living in an overpriced American cardboard box I guess.
I am interested in purchasing a used portable classroom and converting to a cabin.
Another thing people need to definitely 💯 check for is electrical outlets !!!
Major RED FLAG: If you Google the picture for #3 you will find that the picture is one that is used for Container Home ideas. I feel that although someone may have the authentic home, the actuality is that the Amazon ad is NOT what you will receive. The facade and the layout pictures are way too different.
It's wild to me they give all the measurements in inches & not feet. I know from looking at house plans from Europe that they do give measurements in centimeters & you divide by 100 to get the measurements in meters & ~39 inches is ~1 meter but you have to divide all those numbers by 12 to get the lengths & work out how big the houses are.
The "mountain mobile" tiny home on a trailer is known as a "Park Model Chalet"
Also my bery small township has a covenant that requires any new home build must have an attatched garage. Jard stop. No accessory structures like pole sheds or detached garages, RV garages, etc can ne built before a permanent dwelling. Keeps our tax base livable & prevents the temporary messes...
#3! Seems pretty durable and heavy. I could put it in my yard, in Maine.
Thank you for your channel. It's extremely informative and fun.
#1 would be my choice. I just love the design and windows to outdoors. Modern and stylish
I have 60 acres on the southern Oregon coast where you are welcome to test whichever one you choose.
I personally love the expandable last one, as transporting it across my single lane private bridge to the site would be easier.
I have several electrical and water hookups for rvs, and I can see this working as a little vacation weekend rental for supplemental income.
Thanks for looking at these!💕
I love #5 with all the windows when Mr Beast opened the box! What a great plant and quilting space. Wish I were closer, I'm in Indiana with land and no restrictions as well as electric, water, and plumbing. It would be a little Nana hideaway spot. Anxious to see what you choose!
13:41 This one is cute but just FYI - you need to schedule a crane to unload it and the set up is your responsibility.
That's a THOW, no crane needed__but you may need a truck that can tow the load to your preferred spot, once it's delivered to a designated area. 😛😺
Also, be wary of Chinese drywall. Some homes in Florida had problems with mold and had to have all of their interior walls redone.
I think those Amazon houses are perfect as a guest room, office, shed, kid's playroom, or like that one guys used it for (a game room). Definitely not something I would buy for a permanent dwelling. But those are fun for a lot of other things like those that have lots of parties, or even if they work from home and use that as part of their business to keep inventory in.
Yes you have to add septic, electrical service, plumbing connections to septic
I think I like #4, the tiny home. Looks like it might be sturdier than the others. Except maybe the last one. That looks pretty solid too. So #4 or #5. It really does depend on what you wanna use it for.
I love number 3. That looks like it would be perfect in my backyard. 17k is a great buy.
I vote for the blue on. Check out this one! Thin shell concrete over graphene frames and EPS. Also, no windows or doors come with this unit but I got a price from the mfg of under 7K for a unit that is 120 sqr meters which is more than 1200 sqr feet. Would LOVE to get your take on this item for the DIY market which is starting to seem like the only way many of us are ever going to get a home. Thanks!
We have land (22acres) love new ideas and no zoning concerns... would love to know more about the 17,999 foldable on wheels...
Thank you for your ideas/products/honesty.
#3 would be a wonderful grannypod on my son and daughter-in-love's property. I have a camper there now.
I have been thinking of getting one of these. I would love to see # 5
wow. House 3. yes BUT BUY 2 put together!!
Hey. I noticed on house number two, the kitchen cabinets were in upside down. So, buyer beware. I think there was some photo fixing done to these listings, and they pasted in the cabinets upside down. Even the TH-camr didn’t notice!
#1 would be nice for an outdoor wedding or backyard parties.
I like #5😊 looks easy to install and roomy
If the house is listed "flat pack" it's not pre built. You have to assemble. It may come with all the listed parts. But not pre-built. The errors in the text descriptions are not scammers misspelling. They are translation errors from Chinese to English. The description headers may use terms correctly, just not American terms. They are selling to other countries who may not have the same rules as the US when using the term "modular" for example.
Good point.
I thought about it and I think you should try to purchase Modular one. The rounded edges , all glass that seems to fit Your bubbly personality, If you're able to put that in your yard or someone close to you . I was just Wandering the internet and ran across this video , Housing has become very important to me lately and I'm a new subscriber of yours so I truly appreciate what you're doing and I will do my part to stay well focused with what you have to say so thank you so 🤗 much and I'm looking forward to your next very important video thanks.
Love #3! My husband and I are shopping for a small home before we buy land in Nor Car or Tenn. Thanks for your guidance.
Look at S2A Modular. They are building in Patterson, CA but ship anywhere in US. The first home was shipped to the east coast.
Haha, on the last one, Oklahoma laughs at that "up to 70mph" wind! 😂
Right? Wished they make the wind speeds required on all of these.
@@KristinaSmallhorn ,
As well as all other "weatherproofing" stats! 😺
You can put it on my land. I live in rural MS. I’d love to try it out and see if it holds up in our weather conditions here. I love house number 3, but would seriously do my homework on the seller!
The 4th one reminds me of a park model home usually they keep them in RV parks I think it would be too heavy to haul around but I could wrong 😊
I like the steel one! We are on the South Oregon Coast, very WET in the winter. We have had 130mph winds for 3 days…….. Been wanting to lease out our big house & get a small one so I can retire. We have 3 acres in the county, not city. We’ve cleared a half acre spot…… I need to go talk to the County…….I was gonna buy an Old Hickory shed to my specs at 32x12 they want$32k. But I like the idea of the steel, & I can design it……..😁👍🏻
Depends on local and state requirements
I love the one you picked! I'm in Hurricaneville though ❤
If you're actually serious about buying one for land owners to test out, we have a family cabin property in Manitoba Canada for #5 (maybe #3). Ideal for snow load testing, winterizing testing. We know engineers that would figure things out for fun. My brother owns a flat roofing company, which would make him uniquely positioned to beef it up as necessary. My sons do sewer and water hook up for a living, so they'd be well suited to weigh in on how well it lends itself to that (with one of my sons also owning a water treatment company so plumbing it in is no problem).
Wow. What a generous offer! Canada would be a bit of travel for me as I am in Louisiana.
@@KristinaSmallhorn Meh. Not that far. We visit our Acadian brethren there all the time. Plus, you can bring us some cracklings. 🤣
House #3 the container home here in Texas!❤
My sister lived in a Modular House. It’s very stable liked most normal house but low quality for the floors, kitchen cabinets and counters. It goes with the price. Over all it’s great.
I have a spot ready in South Georgia! I think you should go with 4 or 5.
Just for perspective, the 19x20 is smaller than a two-car garage. So you can go stand in a garage and imagine something several feet smaller. A garage is typically about 22 ft.
I wanted a tiny home that would fit through a 10' gate. I got a destination RV. It was more than $70K (than transportation, tax, license, etc.) brought it up to $77K. There was $14K for a large parking pad and another $14K for a deck. It was mostly furnished, however, and electrical (50 amp), sewer hookups and water came to about $2500.
Number 5! That's the one I had tagged you on a while back...
#5 seems to be the only reputable company so that would be the one I’d suggest. Way more detail and included safety info. I’m in western NC so too far but also in an HOA neighborhood.
I to liked #5. On something so small sometimes it is better to not have a lot of walls. I think I would feel claustrophobia. Good luck!!
These may seem inexpensive but where are people supposed to put them? Not every state allows these homes.
S2A Modular has some great modular solutions with integrated energy systems for solar and Tesla batteries
How much to move it? I think they are great, my husband always wanted to fix one up under ground in case of storms.♥️👍👍
Dimensions on #1
36ft×7ft×7.5ft
= 252sqft and 7.5ft high
(Standard measurement format is Length×Width×Height)
For future reference, very easy to calculate:
Square Feet = Length feet × Width feet
If product is showing inches, divide the inch measurement by 12 to get the feet measurement (12in = 1ft)
Example:
"120×120×96 inches"
10ft by 10ft and 8ft tall
10x10= 100sqft
(If you do the math for this structure it comes out a few inches larger than what I said, but that's listed as "Product Dimensions" which means measured from the outside, and we don't know the exact thickness of wall/ceiling/floor so you have to shave a little off to estimate the actual interior space)
SC here. Need somewhere to put it? Let me know. Plenty of room to put one of those homes on. Out in the country.
Which one? Depends on your needs. The first one seems the most interesting to me.
We live in Jefferson parish. We’re dealing with code enforcement because of our tiny home decision.
We have had our shed on site to convert for 3 months but it’s still a shell.
Come on Jefferson parish!
#3 is not only structurally safer, it has curb appeal. Blanket ADU zoning is under review in my city. Not there yet.
Any prejudice against backyard units needs to go. It's amoral, it's unethical and it's plain wrong. People should be able to build whatever they like on their own bought and paid for goddamn land. They just want us to force us to be bank slaves all our lives; do not kid yourself that's all it is.
I actually had the pleasure of doing a walkthru of #5, and it's pretty cool... The distributer had it listed for $25,000...my only concern was how long does it last....the space is great and they allow you to make changes with the 400 sq feet...
I agree with you on #3. It looks the most livable...can't wait to see results. I do have 10.5 acres in rural Maine if you'd like to talk possibilities.
That’s a bit far for me to travel to. I’m in Louisiana.
@@KristinaSmallhorn Hey, I had to try! LOL
@@aphroditeaw4423 never hurts to try! Never!
That last house looks like it will fall apart in 20 years.
get another one after 20 years lol. DR horton homes fall apart on day 1
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!
I live in southwest Oklahoma with 10 acres and would be willing to host your project. Ther is already a 60x 40 4” pad with existing electric connection and the ability to place a septic system adjacent to the structure.
If you still need a place to put one. I have two empty properties that are family owned both used to have trailers on them before the flood. Denham springs city limits
Love it!! Sure you can put it on my property! But do I get to keep it? lol
Great video!
I’m not sure if it’s gonna be anything anyone wants to keep. This could be a real mess.
You would want to find out who makes it & if possible go tour one before you buy. I have seen something similar to the 1st house from a company called Massimo in or near Houston Texas (they just started selling them if I'm right about the maker the 1st house is either in China or there might be some made or finished in Texas). For the cost of a trip down there you might avoid making a major mistake.
I’d love to see #3
Google News or MSN News posted one that was under $10k from the Amazon site & I sent the link to you. You see that one? It was cute, with a roof deck & a built-in security system!
A 400 lb house??? LOL. I vote for #3. Number 5 has already been reviewed.
Right? I completely agree! Something has to be wrong. That's the weight of just a few humans. Something was fishy about the first house.
I'd rather eat glass than buy a "house" from Amazon.
It's nothing new...people mail ordered homes from Sears and Robucks for years. They are all over the U.S....usually a two story 4 square.
5 for sure!
I w seen the #5 at woods sales I Belmont ms. I did not notice power. And it did have a very small cabinet and sink in kitchen. The layout and inside would be one of the things you’d customize after you got it. But for a cheap place. Especially in a rush. I think it would do for a while. Don’t know about long term. Rain and leaking etc. possibly be one of those things you’d add a roof to once it was established onsite.
#3, and yes, I have unrestricted land, and a need, btw, for this for my daughter and grandson, on the same property as our home, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of GA, BUT I know that this is not realistically possible. Nonetheless, #3 seems the best.
I like house #3. But I've seen a three bedroom model of house #5 on Amazon. I really think house #5 could be an affordable housing option for people if we get them to understand how to buy property and the hoops one goes through for permits.
Please pay attention to the heights of these units- based on height & photos, I don’t think any of those doors is over 6’ tall (standard “normal” door in US is at least 7’). Unfortunately you find these shorter doors, some as short as 5’ 10”, in most cheap shed options. It makes their product look bigger. Now the 1st thing I check is door height.
Spelling and weird grammar ... they are Chinese. So the companies probably don't speak English and are relying on online translators for the descriptions.
Still a red flag.
I really hope somebody buys the My Homies and reviews it on video for the spectacle 😂
Have you seen the Incredible Tiny Homes based in Newport Tennessee? They have some reasonable priced tiny homes. The 5th house would be interesting to see. But I liked the camper looking one too?
:) OMG! THANKS MUCH for sharing! I would go for House #2 @ $30K IF I could EVER find a lot to put it in Western WA State :( Then watching Video through, others are GREAT Choices too! I hope you can and will buy one to test and showcase! The BEST Candidate for me may be the Tiny Home on wheels, just have to pay somebody to tow it in place :if I can find an affordable lot to buy or RENT in a Park. LOL on your comment about your knees giving out, STAIRS ARE NOT MY Friend in my 70's!! :( ALL THE BEST and Cheers! :)
House 3 appeals to me most as it is shown.
I'm just wondering what the return policies are on these? Will Amazon come pick it up if I decide I don't like the color? What if I can't get it back in the box?
I would love it as a gift.
We have new home energy requirements coming at the end of those s month adding to 30+ k per home
Do this on prefab log homes. Beautiful
Being an empty nester now my husband and I am really looking into these. I love the last one and number 2 as well. I’m in Louisiana so I’m not sure about the hurricanes and that 400 lb plastic one lol.
You could get a really interesting view of a hurricane. From above.
I asked in Phoenix, they told me no... The additional house cannot be larger than 75% of the original house size. Issue is I live in a historic home and it's 700sq feet ... But after pushing the issue, you can ask for a "variance". Just means I need to get all the documents together and ask every neighbor within 150 feet of my property line. But it has to follow set back rules. Luckily I live in 1/4th of an acre and I can comfortably fit a 28x56sq ft house in my back yard and still have room for a 24x24 driveway and 20x20 yard!!!!!
be careful because some states dont allow fully built buildings to be put on private property. Tennessee is one that doesn't allow this kind of thing
I have a lot in Arizona you can put it on. It’s zoned recreational. You can put pretty much anything on it.
A little too far for me to travel. I really appreciate you offering to put it there.
