Jesse is a therapist who works with clients of all ages and spends a lot of time doing telehealth appointments. She wanted to try out homeownership, but was nervous to do it with a big mortgage. So when a friend was selling their tiny house, she thought it would be the perfect “trial run” and she could pay it off in just four years.
Her second-hand THOW is a wonderful, homey space that largely consists of a big galley kitchen with lots of storage. She has a loft bedroom over the gooseneck that she can stand up in, as well as a guest loft with storage steps. Her living room has a cozy couch, and she installed a residential toilet and soaking tub in her bathroom after purchasing the tiny home.

Olivia had been a nurse for about 5 years and was completely burnt out. She saw a listing on Facebook Marketplace for a converted short bus for $10K. She had enough money in the bank from selling her home to immediately purchase the rig — and quit her job — in just 48 hours.
Believe it or not, she had never even heard about #buslife until she saw the listing for her bus! While the bus was livable as-purchased, she chose to finish the build to her taste, putting in another $10K to the build. Enjoy the tour below and let us know what you love most about it.

Nikki’s bus is proof that maximalists can live tiny! An artist and web designer, Nikki knew what she wanted in a home, and she made it happen. There’s a desk for her web design, a large counter-top studio for her art, and most incredibly, a full-sized soaking tub in the middle of the bus with a 200-gallon water tank and on-demand hot water tank.
She also snuck in a side-by-side fridge & freezer, a massive farmhouse sink, and a washer/dryer unit. On the back of the bus, she has a spacious deck that houses her generator and more exterior storage. What more could you want?

Jaqueline was just about to purchase a home in Austin when 2020 hit and the market started going a bit wild. She decided instead of buying, she would rent, but she wanted something that was more of her own — and didn’t want to share walls anymore.
She ended up getting an Instagram ad for Casata Tiny House Community and looked into it. It gave her the chance to try out tiny house living with a longer-term commitment before she decides if she wants to purchase her own! What do you think?
