Sharing his Tiny House with Roommates

on September 17, 2022

Tragically, Derek lost his mother when he was 18 years old. He got around $40,000 from her life insurance and was able to use that money to purchase his $26,000 home on wheels. Now he feels like his home is an extension of her. Derek immediately painted his home a variety of bold, wonderful colors and changes the paint and styles up frequently.

Just recently, he invited two roommates to move in with him and his dog and cat. Compared to the high cost of living in his former Portland apartment, spending just around $200 per month for his home ad utilities is pretty amazing! What do you think?

    I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom, but I’m glad you were able to regroup your life and end up with such an amazing home, and to be able to share your home with such amazing friends. God bless you, son. You did a great job!

    I love what you did with the house, making it your own with the tapestries. I like tiny houses and wouldn’t mind owning one of my own one day.
