Inside tiny home village where you can live two years rent-free - it's ready to move in and has spac
TINY homes have become more popular as Americans look for ways to live affordably.
It comes as rents remain stubbornly high and inflation continues to pinch wallets.
In a YouTube video, Randy Jones, the founder of Incredible Tiny Homes, offered a glimpse into a community that’s being built in Newport, Tennessee.
He’s offering a deal that means Americans can pick up a tiny home for $30,000.
The deal includes the property, which measures eight feet by 16 feet, the lot the home is situated on, and two years of free rent.
After the rent deal expires, it only costs Americans $200 a month.
Randy said the home costs $20,000 but the extra $10,000 covered the lot, the water, electricity, the sewerage system, and the roads.
But outside the home, there are spaces for privacy walls or fences on both sides, and renters can build a deck space if they want to.
Randy revealed that the tiny home village has been deliberately designed as people need homes.
The trailer, made of steel, features a bathroom that comes with a toilet and a 36-inch shower, as well as space for a kitchen and bedroom.

Randy said that all Americans have to do to heat the home, known as the Incred-I-Box, is via a heater that can be bought from major retailers such as Walmart.
He recommended that homeowners should install an air conditioning unit or an oscillating fan.
Americans can customize their tiny home as they wish, by painting the walls or sticking wallpaper on them.
There is a loft space above the bathroom that can be used as storage space.
Randy said the homes are extremely durable: “I don’t see how in 30 years from now, how it’s going to degrade from what it is now.”
Demonstrating the strength of the walls, he said: “You can’t get mad and put a hole in there. It’s just steel inside and out.”
In a separate video, Randy showed how he modernized the tiny home that he lives in.
He made his tiny home look comfortable by adding a television, and a bed that can be used as a sofa.
Randy used space underneath a cabinet set he bought to house a mini fridge and freezer and used the drawers to store pots and pans.
He’s able to put his blanket, shoes, and other items inside the cabinets.
Randy has also fixed shelves to the walls where he’s able to put books, kitchen utensils, and jars of protein powder.
