When Ashley lost her job, renting her 1,300-square-foot home no longer made sense. She knew she wanted to own something but didn’t know where she wanted to put down roots. “What if I had a house that could move?” she asked herself. And that’s how she ended up with a $34.5K tiny house on wheels!
When she purchased it, her budget buy was rather empty and uninteresting—so much so that instead of feeling overjoyed when she first walked in, she felt a bit scared. But now that she’s had time to decorate and build it out—including a “catio” for her three cats—she absolutely loves her little home. Enjoy the tour!
