If you want an interesting example of housing costs, check out this story. At first, I thought it was a bargain successful craft story of how a guy bought a used 245 sq ft shed off Craig's list, converted it into tiny home that he rents out from his backward as a BRB in San Antonio TX for $74 a night. Yup, people are renting it.

But by the time he finished all the construction, getting permits and stuff, he was up to $40,000 for that 245 ft tiny house.

You can buy a ten year old travel trailer for $15,000 and rent it for $50-$75 a night around here.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

Tiny homes rarely make financial sense. By the time you are done you can usually find a cottage or purpose built trailer.
