#033 - Grant Emans is the founder of Designer Eco Tiny Homes, based in Ulladulla on the South Coast of NSW. If you've been listening to the show for a while, you'll know that Designer Eco are building my own tiny home!In this conversation we talk about:Grant's story and background in the construction industry and how he came to specialise in tiny house buildsThe shifts Grant has seen in the tiny house world from when he started building tiny homes and what's currently present in the industry todayFor DIY tiny house builders - some options that Designer Eco offers, including trailers and shells to lock upAll about solar trailers and the benefits compared to solar panels on your tiny house roofThe tiny house models Designer Eco build and the process to work with them… and more! About Grant Emans"Back in 2000 I began my journey in the construction industry. Along with my brother, I formed a building company, and together for over 10 years, worked on all types of building projects. These included residential homes, renovations, child care centres, office fit-outs, and home maintenance. During this time I felt a strong need to drive change in the industry as many of the architect and draftsmen designed homes, along with traditional building practices were not sustainable.In 2010, we began a new construction business called Designer Eco Homes. We offered design and construction package that specialised in environmental sustainability. For over 5 years we created these homes which saw incredible change in the way we constructed homes for a more sustainable future. But so much more can be done. And that's what led to the idea of tiny homes.Based on the Tiny House Movement in the USA, 2016 brought a new era for me in design and construction. I ceased building regular homes with my brother and now focus primarily on the construction of tiny homes. These are incredible structures and offer the homeowner a highly sustainable option for housing. They are energy efficient, eco-friendly and affordable. The versatility of a tiny home, along with their affordability allows me to create environmentally sustainable building solutions for a wider range of people. With modern transportation, I can now offer these incredible housing solutions for the whole of Australia, and even beyond.Designer Eco Tiny Homes is founded on trust, reliability and a proven track record. I understand the importance of what a home means to people. It's not just a building, it encompasses so much more than that. Our traditional values, combined with the latest construction techniques and technologies, ensure that our clients will receive the highest quality finish achievable."Find out more about the podcast and get the episode show notes & links here:https://tinyhouseconversations.com/033You can follow Grant and Designer Eco's tiny adventures here:W: https://designerecotinyhomes.com.au/IG: https://www.instagram.com/designerecotinyhomes/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/designerecotinyhomes/ YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7A1RhGMtWLB63u6eT74bzgYou can follow my tiny adventures here:IG: https://www.instagram.com/tinyhouseconversationsFB: https://www.facebook.com/tinyhouseconversationsSupport the show

Okay, so today's guest is very specific topic. Okay. It's a very specific topic, and I'll let him introduce what his specific topic is. But the reason I wanted to have him on whether or not you see yourself in this specific topic, doesn't matter. I want you to practice seeing your journey, seeing your dreams, seeing your visions, seeing your goal in someone else because that is how we learn. It is. So, sometimes we want like a roadmap, a blueprint of some kind, where we go, "Okay, step A, step B, step C." But some of the best ideas I've had have been from other industries, from other people's goals, other people's questions, from other people's ideas that had nothing to do with what I'm doing. Because often, we get a little stuck in where we are. And we're like, "Well, that everyone doesn't like this. That's how I have to do it." But some of the best inspirations you're gonna get are from seeing yourself in other people's situations. So I challenge you with this episode. If you are like, "Oh, Lesley, thanks so much. This isn't for me." Keep listening. Also, I freaking love his BE IT action item at the end. It is definitely towards what he is doing. But I think we all can do it. So like, it'll be really easy for you to see yourself in that. But again, challenge yourself. And if you're like, "Oh my God, yes, this is what I've been doing." Because I'm thinking of three listeners right now I know who are doing this. Great. Enjoy. He's a wealth of knowledge. And I'm so so excited. But I'm truly inspired by him. His perseverance, his authenticity and, and the journey that he's on. I think we can all learn and glean something from this, I can't hear wait to hear what you did with this interview, with this information. And so let us know at the @be_it_pod, tag us there, make sure to leave us a review. And if you really like our guest, he has a podcast too. So you can go ahead and listen to his and do a favor if you'd like his, leave a review. I know I say this a lot and then in every podcast, here's the deal. Reviews matter. I get to read every single one of them and they're so much fun. The team reads them all. And we share them around the whole office and it's well the virtual office and it is a lot of fun. So thank you for listening. Thank you for being you. And here is our guest, Ethan Waldman.Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast, where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Hey, Be It listener, I have the one and only Ethan Waldman here. I'm super excited to have him because I saw I saw what he was doing. And I thought, that's what a lot of people, think about doing, talk about doing and then maybe have a million reasons why they wouldn't do it. So I wanted to bring him on to maybe inspire you. And if you don't see yourself in his particular situation, you can use all these things for anything else you're putting obstacles in the way. So Ethan, thanks for being here on the Be It pod. Can you tell everyone who you are and what you're up to?Ethan Waldman Sure. Hey, everyone. Thanks for having me, Lesley. I'm Ethan Waldman. And the thing that I am passionate about is tiny houses.Lesley Logan Yeah. Okay. So because I've, before I got rid of a TV, many moons ago, they like had tiny houses on TV shows like people talk about tiny houses, like, did you grow up in a tiny house? Like, was it easy... I have so many questions. How did you get in the tiny house?Ethan Waldman Yeah, I did not grow up in a tiny house. And it was not easy. I think it's kind of funny. Like, if I knew now how hard it was to build my own house, I probably never would have done it. So I'm almost glad that I didn't know. About 10 years ago now or actually more than 10 years ago, I was a couple of years into a corporate career, kind of the thing that I studied in college. I was doing the like living in a cubicle from nine to five kind of thing. And I just, I wasn't really happy. I just, I love the outdoors, I love, you know, skiing and being on the lake and just doing these things that require like the precise alignment of weather conditions. And it always really bothered me, when I had to be at my desk, doing work that really wasn't that time sensitive, when what I really wanted to be doing was like skiing that morning. And so I started to really become interested in entrepreneurship, interested in having my own business. And I had already started kind of a side hustle a side business. But I was still renting, you know, an expensive house with a friend. I hadn't really changed anything about my lifestyle and hadn't really taken many steps. Really big steps towards like leaving my job and like really changing things up. And so around, you know, sometime in 2011, I found a blog called Rowdy Kittens, written by Tammy Strobel and her and her husband, I know she has she likes cats. She has a bunch of kittens. ... her husband Logan had, they didn't build it themselves. But they had hired a company headed by this person named Dee Williams to build them a tiny house. And so I kind of just went down the rabbit hole reading about Tammy and Logan's Tiny House learning about Dee Williams who is kind of like the like the godmother of The Tiny House Movement. Learning about Tumbleweed Tiny homes, it's kind of this guy Jay Shafer, just like all these kind of OG tiny house people and learning about like, hey, like, these houses are small, they are, you know, DIYable, anybody can learn to build their own house, like there are workshops you can take, you can buy the plans. And I, I just realized that, you know, building a tiny house and living in one would drastically lower my, my monthly expenses. Like if I could own my own home outright with what I had in savings, and I had enough in savings at the time to take it on. That I'd be able to leave my corporate job, and did not have to come up with a business idea that would pay me what I was making in the corporate career because that's difficult to go from, you know, corporate career to ...Lesley Logan Oh working for yourself and making (Ethan: working for yourself) the income (Ethan: Yeah) at the same time. Yeah. No, (Ethan: Yeah) there's, there's like, you can do a little as someone who's done it, you can do a little bit of like, bridging (Ethan: Yeah) a little bit. And then you're working seven days a week, most of the time all the time. (Ethan: Yeah) You're not doing your snow stuff that you want to do. (Ethan: Yeah. Exactly.) And then you still have to eventually make the leap and there's gonna be a gap.Ethan Waldman Yeah, yeah. So the tiny house like was my gap, was my gap thing.Lesley Logan I love it. So, (Ethan: Yeah) so you built it yourself, by yourself? Did you have help?Ethan Waldman Yeah, so I started off. So my budget was such that like, I had to do it all myself. And like, when I was three months into the project, and like recognized that I was basically nowhere, I realized that I needed help. Because like the house really, it's it's I had at that point I had made like pretty significant investment in a trailer that's like several $1,000 and materials and I came to the realization that until it's an actual house, you invest all this time and money and it's not really worth anything, so you need to get it done. And so I actually put out an ad on Craigslist and found kind of a local jack of all trades type person who, who really worked with me the whole build, and, you know, I would hire him his name was Jason, like, one or two days a week, he would kind of get me started on the next step, whatever next thing it was kind of show me how to do it, and then kind of turned me loose.Lesley Logan That's cool. I actually, thanks for sharing that part. Because I think no matter what a project is, like, do like we, I mean, the DIY is great, because you can have, you can stay in your budget, you can do things that (Ethan: Yeah) like, but then eventually, there's going to be things you don't know how to do. And it's either going to cost you more time, which is more money eventually on like silly things, saying that you can't move in because now you're paying rent at the other place, or it's gonna cost you money to sort in the timespan to hire someone. So that's really cool that you're able to find someone who can kind of like, do it with you.Ethan Waldman Yeah, it was really helpful. And I, you know, I credit Jason with with helping make it happen. I don't know what would have happened if I didn't hire him. I mean, it still took 14 months.Lesley Logan Okay, that was my next (Ethan: Yeah) 14 months. That's a that is a lot longer than you probably expected.Ethan Waldman Oh, yeah. Like my housemate at the time was a woodworker who had done construction. And when I was talking to him about it, he was like, "Oh, yeah, you could build that in like three months, and I'll help." And not only didn't he help, it takes a lot longer than three months. You could do it in three months if you really, if you knew how to build already, and you work full time on it, like, (Lesley: Yeah, like that was your nine to five.) Yeah, I mean, I tell people in my training materials that it's it's like 1000 to 1400 hours of work to build a tiny house. So (Lesley: Yeah) you just have to divide, you have to divide that 1000 hours out over a period of time. (Lesley: Yeah.) Often when a couple builds a tiny house together on the weekends, it takes them about a year.Lesley Logan Yeah. Okay. So now we're even living in your tiny house about 10 years now?Ethan Waldman Well, we're 10 years down the road. I don't live in my tiny house anymore, actually. Now it is the cool thing about tiny houses, I knew that I might never live in it forever. Or I knew I wasn't gonna live in it forever. But I also knew that I like never wanted to get rid of it. Because it's, it's such an asset to me. You know, I built my whole business around educating people on how to plan and build tiny houses. But now also, I've I've found my way into this really sweet situation, I found a landlord who is open to letting us do Airbnb. So basically, I've turned the tiny house into, you know, another piece of my business in terms of income.Lesley Logan That's so cool. So now people (Ethan: Yeah ...) staying in your tiny house.Ethan Waldman Yeah. And it's fun, too, because I get so many messages from guests who are like, "Thank you, this helped us figure out like what we wanted in terms of our tiny house." And that's, uh, you know, I tell people, like, if you're thinking about living in a tiny house, and you've never been in one, first see if there's a tiny house festival happening in your area, because that's a great way to see a ton of tiny houses at once. But even better book, one on Airbnb for a night or a weekend and see what it feels like to live there.Lesley Logan Yeah, that's, that's actually a genius tip. I think everyone should try everything on for size, whether it's a tiny house or a job or a school (Ethan: Yeah) or a relationship. You know, because some things like look really good on the outside and then like, then it's reality. So (Ethan: Yeah) so let's talk about like moving from the house, you were in into the tiny house. And we you alluded earlier, like it wasn't easy. So like, what was the hard, what were the harder parts of like moving into the tiny house?Ethan Waldman Yeah, I mean, I would say that, that it was the building of the tiny house, that wasn't easy. It took so long that like, I had a lot of time to prepare, (Lesley: Okay) in terms of like, getting rid of clutter and possessions that I that I knew I didn't want. In fact, that was it was one of the very earliest things I could do. Even before I started building, when I was still in the planning phases and saving money. It's like, you can start decluttering and kind of getting rid of the stuff that you don't want right away. And that's makes it easier to move into the tiny house.Lesley Logan I love that because it's like, it's like you got to live tiny before you were in your tiny house.Ethan Waldman Definitely. And I think that there is an element of like living in a tiny house that that does make it easier to declutter and downsize. Like when you have the space, you will spread out into it. And so if you try to cram your your, you know, one bedroom apartment life into a tiny house, all of a sudden there's going to be stuff everywhere and it's going to be obvious to you what needs to go but as much as you can do beforehand, the better and and also just for me, it just gave me something to stay motivated about. Like it gave me some tangible things that I could do while I was waiting to start that were actually going to contribute to, to the project.Lesley Logan Yeah, because you know, like, it doesn't matter what the goal is, right? There's always, it always takes a little longer than we want, or we think, we plan but being able to take little actions every day. So it feels like you're getting closer to the goal is (Ethan: Yeah) rewarding. And, and so I think I love that you pointed that out, I will say it because we went from a 500 square foot apartment with ... (Ethan: That's almost, that's a tiny house.) that's a tiny house. So we have this amazing tiny house. We live (Ethan: Yeah) in this great neighborhood in LA and it's a super super old studio apartment, which is not technically a studio because there wasn't ins... there was a door on the inside. There was a kitchen, full kitchen and then like a dressing room. And then the bathroom was behind the kitchen and had a door too, so there was like, technically you could call it a one bedroom, but the bedroom was in the kitchen as well. So that's why ... (Ethan: Okay) but it also had a back patio and a backyard with a tree. No apartments in LA had this so we could like sort of have an office outside because it's LA. But (Ethan: Yeah) we it was amazing when we moved out to a five bedroom house. Everything we owned, like I like, "Where are these boxes coming from? How did we like where were this packed away?" It was so crazy what we're able to hide even in 500 square feet with (Ethan: Yeah) two dogs. (Ethan: Yeah) We had like three, two guitar, three guitars underneath the bed. Like I didn't even know that we had a trombone under the bed as well. All of that under the bed. So it's kind of shocking. And now that we live in this house, we have spread out. You are correct. You just take up the space you're given.Ethan Waldman Yeah. I mean, just like an empty room, you're like, "Okay, well, how about like a credenza or an end table or a dresser or something?" And then you're like, "Oh well, I have all these extra drawers? I gotta put stuff in them."Lesley Logan Yeah. So okay, so you you, you have the corporate job. You've gotten to the tiny house, when (Ethan: Yeah) did you make your entrepreneurship about tiny homes? Was that it from the beginning? Or like, what were you, were you dabbling into some other things? How did that transition happen?Ethan Waldman Yeah, great question. So, like, many I read The Four Hour Workweek, like back in 2003 or four and was like, you know, (Lesley: Yeah) I was always in the back of my head. Like, I want passive income. I want to like have a business online that makes money while I sleep, which like, isn't real. You have to do work.Lesley Logan Well, there's a lot of work in the front end, like a lot (Ethan: Yeah, it's true.) more than four hours. (Ethan: Yeah) And then, and then if you like, figure out all the things someone is working more than four hours a week, it just (Ethan: It's true.) might not be you.Ethan Waldman It's true. No, and I will admit, like, I do wake up and people have bought my eBooks and courses. And so yes, I made money while I slept. (Lesley: Yeah) So that was always in the back of my my head. And I actually started kind of online business, I guess you would call it now like a creator business, it was called Cloud Coach. And the motto was "Live and work in harmony with technology." I've always loved technology. I like teaching people and particularly helping, like small businesses kind of figure out their technology. And so I had this idea, I'll, I'll become a coach. I'll help people learn to use the technology around them. (Lesley: Yeah) And it was, it was going okay, I like I ran the blog and website for a few years, I had a couple, I had a several kinds of productized services. I was doing some web design for people, I even created like a, it was like an online course on how to like, get to inbox zero. And ...Lesley Logan Oh, I can't wait for Brad to hear this because he is someone who has like always like 1000 emails ...Ethan Waldman Just archive them all. Start to declare bankruptcy. (Lesley laughs) My advice, my advice now. But yeah, so it just like trucking along. But it wasn't like really making very much money. I was finding that the people who could afford to pay me wanted me to do it for them. And the people who wanted to be coached and learn themselves, which is what I was mostly interested in doing couldn't couldn't pay. (Ethan: Right) So like, I definitely had like lots of free yoga classes and massages and like, music lessons and like, you know I was like doing a lot of like barter, but you know, that doesn't pay the bills. (Lesley: No, you still gonna pay the bills.) Yeah. And so during the build, I was actually able to when I quit my corporate job, which was like somewhat specialized, I was able to negotiate essentially, like a consultancy. And so I like continued to do pieces of my job on a product or project by project basis. (Lesley: Oh great) And that yeah, that really helped to kind of pay the bills while you know, especially once I quit and also as I continued to build the tiny house and it went over budget ... we can talk about. Yeah, as most things do. So it was around, it was around 2013 I knew that the tiny house had a very viable audience. I had started a Facebook page when I was building the house. And by the end of the build, it had something like four or 5000 likes. (Lesley: That's insane.) And like, yeah, this was back in 2012 before the algorithm, when just like posting decent content, like, got you a lot of exposure. (Lesley: Yeah) You didn't have to pay Facebook for that. (Lesley: Yeah) And so I was getting tons of questions like, you know, "Why did you choose that heater versus this heater? Like, what kind of insulation is that? Like, why did you use that?" And so I just decided to apply what I had already learned from doing Cloud Coach about email marketing, about, you know, building a WordPress website, how to put a product online, how to use PayPal, all these things. And, you know, I put up a landing page for, like, a concept of a book that was called and still is called Tiny House Decisions, and got to work writing it. And I launched that in 2014.Lesley Logan That's so cool. (Ethan: Yeah) That's so cool. So then started with the book, you had the page or you write the book and then like (Ethan: Yeah) and then people started buying the book, or people started asking you for coaching advice, or what was the, how did you end up getting like a business out of it?Ethan Waldman Well, basically, while I was writing the book, I was starting to do email marketing, starting to publish blog posts, and building up that interest list of people who were like, interested in potentially buying it. (Lesley: Yeah) And so then, I don't think I really made any money in the tiny house world until I self published the guide in, I think it was September of 2014. (Lesley: cool) And like it was, it was the right time. This it was before there were now you can go on to YouTube. And there are hundreds of people who have documented their their full build from start to finish. I would argue that that my book still gives you something that they don't, which is really helping you think through what goes into the house, like planning all the systems and putting it all together before you ever start to build, essentially.Lesley Logan Oh, you are 100... So this is, so this is my thing. I'm on YouTube. I love it. It's great. We get paid on it. And you can go there and learn a bunch. But you aren't learning how to put things together. You're like watching it's, it's not voyeuristic per se because there can be a conversation, they'd be teaching something. But (Ethan: Yeah) you, there's only so much that free can do, you can have (Ethan: Yeah) all the information but putting the puzzle pieces together are a little difficult. And we have the van right. So before we hit record, my husband talking Ethan about our van. And we had all these like ideas we bought, like we got these we got we did buy some floor plans that were based off of our van. But as we're driving in it without having made any decisions, and we're seeing how the dogs are acting, what they need, what we need, when we're working in it. We're like, "You know, we don't actually want a kitchen on the inside, because I don't want to smell the food while I'm driving around." I'm not actually gonna live in my van, I'm just using it to like, road trip. So you I think you're right, like you're having that book or having any wherever your idea is like having something that helps you make the decisions that work for you is (Ethan: Yeah) going to be more valuable then you know, just getting the tips on where how to how to put it together.Ethan Waldman Totally, totally. And that's that's essentially what I set out to do in for tiny houses.Lesley Logan Yeah. So do you and do you have like, I feel like no matter what people's industry is, there's like this, like, boom, and then like, kind of like peters out in plateaus. Do you feel like the tiny house is still on a boom? Or do you feel like it's on and like, people are still intrigued by it? Like, where do you feel it's going for you?Ethan Waldman I mean, I think for the tiny house industry as a whole it is still kind of on the up. There's there's a lot of new interest in tiny houses. Laws around the country are changing to be more favorable for building and living in tiny houses. And there are many, many, many more companies that are building tiny houses professionally for people, because as more people are attracted to the movement. Not everyone can build their own tiny home, nor should they. (Lesley laughs) It's a major, it's a major undertaking of time and energy. And for many people, their time might be better spent continuing to do whatever it is that they do to earn money and pay someone else to do the dirty work, (Lesley: Yeah) like building the house.Lesley Logan Yeah, we were big fans of like, hire people whose strengths are your weaknesses. If you're not a builder, hire a builder. (Ethang: Yeah, yeah.) Go to your thing well. Go what do that as well.Ethan Waldman I think for me and this I know yours, like, trends in online education in general, is that people are less interested in just like buying a PDF. They want community and they want really to be taught they want like a class. So my ebook still sells. And I think it's like in terms of like the dollar to value ratio, it's still like probably the best 40 bucks you can spend, just because it's like 200 pages long. And if you follow it through, you're gonna have a pretty solid plan for your tiny house at the end. But I've, several years ago, launched an online community called Tiny House Engage. And it's about 100 to 150 people, depending on where we are in in membership. And, you know, that's where I'm providing the like, support, and helping to create a community space for for people who are you know, I, anybody is welcome to join. But I think it's best for people who are like, really sure they want to do it, and on. So like, you're really sure that's like the starting point. We have people who are currently in the middle of their DIY builds, we have people who are working with builders, and we have many people who are living in tiny houses too. So it's a, it's a nice online community.Lesley Logan That's really cool. And I love how like you keep evolving what your role is in the tiny house industry and how you (Ethan: Yeah) you're like seeing a problem. And you're like solving that problem with your next, your next thing. What, when someone is considering, like, when you consider the tiny house? What were your biggest worries and what were like some of the surprises that you had, because like, I feel like people are like, okay, even if it's not a tiny house, if they're like, "I'm gonna leave my job, or I'm gonna move here," like, people have worries and fears. And then there's like, like surprises. So what what were yours in your move?Ethan Waldman Yeah, I mean, it's a great question. And I'm trying to put myself back in my, like, late 20s brain of like, 2012, thinking about what I was going to do. I think that I was definitely worried, I was always worried about making enough money, I think my biggest fears were around leaving my job. In a way the tiny house felt like the solution to that problem, not not something that I was worried about. I think that I and then once I started building, I definitely had those fears, like, am I going to be able to finish this? Like is this am I actually going to be able to pull it off. And I think that what has continued to surprise me, to this day is just like that tiny houses inspire kind of a kindness in people. And they kind of bring your community out of the woodwork. And even now with how much more common tiny houses are. If you tell people that you're building a tiny house, they just want to help. They're like, "That's so cool. I've always wanted to do that myself." You know, "Oh, I have a box of hardwood flooring in my basement that like that's leftover from the kitchen renovation? Do you want it? Or like, can I come by and help you one day." It's just like, it always surprises me how people are willing to kind of help when you share a vision like that, that is exciting. And kind of just something a little bit out of the ordinary. But that is an aspirational thing for a lot of people.Lesley Logan I love that. I actually that, that is actually a wonderful surprise to still like, I love to be surprised by people like our neighborhood (Ethan: Yeah) is not a neighborhood of tiny houses, obviously, we a five bedroom, but their old houses, there are particular style house in a particular neighborhood, everything was built in the late 40s, early 50s. And, and so people will will literally say like, "Oh, hey, we have these pains from the 1960s. If anyone's house needs them, I don't want to throw them away." And I just I love that about people like who are prideful in those things. They want to make sure that those things continue on and go to a good spot. And they and they continue to have their their moments. So I think that's cool that people do that for a tiny house owner. What do you think it is that draws people into wanting to live in a tiny house? Like what's the, what's the awe? Because, you know, like that, it's very interesting how many people, "I wanna live in a tiny house." Like you, you saw it as like a way of solving the fear of money thing. Is it, do you think it's like they see it as solving a problem that they have or?Ethan Waldman I would say that that the majority of people that I interact with in my community, and just on my email list, the the financial piece is probably the biggest driver for them. Whether it's not wanting to have a mortgage and not be in debt, or just wanting to be able to own a house outright or just own a house, period. You know, even with a loan that's that's more affordable. I think that's the biggest driver. I've been surprised. You know, I always thought when I started the business, that my customers were going to be people like me like 20 something, millennials basically who were, you know, I graduated from college in 2007 right as the like crazy real estate ...Lesley Logan Oh yeah. I graduated in 2005 and I worked in retail. So ... (Lesley laughs)Ethan Waldman Yeah ... The idea of, of mortgaging your future to buy a house seemed crazy to me. And so I was like, "This is gonna be all millennials," who are like, burnt and like, just scared to buy, you know, to spend more money. What I'm seeing now is that there are millennials and younger people building tiny houses. But we're not staying in our tiny houses, because like, we're kind of at the beginning stages of our lives, like, we're going to find partners and potentially have families, children, dogs, pets, all these things. It's surprising to me how many boomers are retiring into tiny houses, that's been like, the biggest area in terms of like, students in my courses, people who buy my stuff, people join my community, like, are are like older folks who are actually, like, if you think about it in a much better point in their lives to downsize because, (Lesley: Yeah) kids have grown up, they don't need the space anymore. They're on more of a fixed income, potentially, if they've retired. And so these are actually the people who are like, building tiny houses or buying tiny houses, and they're like, "I'm gonna stay in here until I can't live on my own anymore."Lesley Logan I think that is, that makes so much sense. And it's, I think it's really cool, I think. Yes, I agree. The millennials probably saw the tiny home as an as an opportunity to have a home that was their own, and then they're like, okay, but yeah, partners and kids in a tiny home gets a little hard. (Ethan: Yeah, yeah) No matter how organized you are, although people in New York apparently do it all the time with their apartments, so (Ethan: Yeah) I must be able to be done. But um, but my Dad is 70 and he's not in a tiny home, but he has he has downsized. And he I can see how for his generation of people, how helpful it would be to have access to a tiny home because you can (Ethan: Yeah) still feel like you have a home. You have this space that's your own. You know, and still have your independence. I think that's really cool. I love that your your stuff is available to multiple generations of people.Ethan Waldman Yeah, yeah. And I've like, I'm pretty like tech savvy, but I've also like, in my business had to like, sometimes tone it down. Like I there's no Discord community that you can join when you join my programs because like, we always don't know how to use Discord like, you know, that kind of thing.Lesley Logan My listeners, I swear, half the listeners are like, "Discord?" (Lesley laughs)Ethan Waldman Yeah. Or Slack. Like I was like, "Oh, create a private Slack group." Like ...Lesley Logan Oh, well, same. I have my Agency group is on Slack. Because I didn't want to put them on Facebook because I don't want them doing, like going for business coaching. (Ethan: Yeah) And then also seeing like, what, their weird Uncle Rob also wrote on one of their posts. I wanted them to like have a space that like this is safe for you to go. And also no algorithm, right. And everyone is like we have to put them in like us. We put them in a little Slack mini where we train them on Slack and they actually learn how to use Slack.Ethan Waldman That's awesome.Lesley Logan Before they come into the main group, otherwise, it's like, waa. (Ethan: Yeah) Yeah, well, um, I think yeah, you'll I mean, with depending with your millennial peeps, you can obviously tone it up and then with the other people just tone it down. But I also just think, even though the world has got, finally gotten online, as like the one as one of the few benefits of the last couple of years, people are still hesitant right and are unsure. And so having your stuff be accessible for that the boomer generation who's like if they have an iPhone, but they're not, they don't consider themselves tech savvy. (Ethan: Yeah) Cool. So what is next for you? Like, what are you excited about now? What are you kind of toying with or kind of being it till you see it now?Ethan Waldman Yeah, so in November of 21, I piloted kind of a live cohort based course that's based around Tiny House Decisions, like Tiny House Decisions is the framework for the course. But it's seven weeks long with a lot of exercises and worksheets and things and then a weekly, two hour Q&A call, essentially. And so we've run that twice now. I have a co instructor for that. And I'd really like to figure out how to scale that up and get more people into it and potentially create like a self paced version of it.Lesley Logan Yeah, I I love hearing what people are working on next, because I think people need to hear like they've run it a couple times. And it's not like (Ethan: Yeah) you're like, "Oh, we know how to do it all." Like, it's always testing and tweaking and making (Ethan: Yeah) adjustments and figuring out like, how do we get and how does anything go from being for a small group which is very fun people loved being accessible to the many.Ethan Waldman Yeah, yeah, (Lesley: Yeah) exactly. And you know the the even just the name of it sometimes you can't find the right name for for a course. And I think I like figured it out between this last one and before we do it the next time so I think I'm gonna rename it Tiny House Accelerator, because that's kind of what it is.Lesley Logan Oh, it's kind of like what was, like, incubate, what's the accelerator situation in Silicon Valley? Do you know I'm talking about?Ethan Waldman Oh, yeah, like incubators for (Lesley: Y com?) companies .Y Combinator.Lesley Logan Y Combinator. There it is. Yeah. (Ethan: Yeah) So yeah, but I like the word accelerator. And it's true. Like, when you're naming anything, because I hate having to name things because things that are cute, like don't work or clever doesn't work. Like it has to be like, it has to be kind of like it has to be SEO friendly and make sense. And but the word accelerator is really great because people that's what people want. They want it to be, like they want the information downloaded fast. (Ethan: Yeah, yeah) I like it. Test it out. You'll have to keep us posted on how it goes.Ethan Waldman Yeah. Yeah, I will.Lesley Logan Yeah. All right, everyone. So we're gonna take a quick moment and you're gonna find out how you can take this Tiny House Accelerator course, to get the book. Find out more about Ethan, so one second.Okay, Ethan, where can people find you, follow you, learn more information from you?Ethan Waldman Sure. Yeah. I'd say like, the best place is thetinyhouse.net. That's my website. I would love for your listeners, since they're already listening to a podcast and they, I presume, understand how to listen to a podcast. Check out my podcast. It's called Tiny House Lifestyle Podcast. And it's been going for over four years. There's 250 episodes, deep interviews with just all kinds of people, van life, sailboat, school buses, tiny houses, professional builders, DIYers, it's like all in there. So like the podcast back catalogue is is a goldmine of of tiny house inspiration and information.Lesley Logan Oh, my God. Brad's gonna binge out on the next drive.Ethan Waldman Well, he told me that he already started. So (Lesley laughs)Lesley Logan Of course he did. (Ethan: Yeah) Of course he did. Sometimes he sees who's coming on the show. And he gets he gets a little. He's like (Ethan: Alright) on a rabbit trail. Yeah, awesome. Okay, well, are you on Instagram or anywhere else on any socials?Ethan Waldman Yeah, I'm on Instagram and Twitter. Just at @ethanwaldman, my name, Facebook, I'm at Building the Tiny House. I've like I've really, in the last several years, kind of identified that that like using social media doesn't make me feel particularly great. And it also is is a bit of a content hamster wheel. And so I've I've really tried to kind of step away from the content hamster wheel. And, you know, if you follow me on social, you'll, you'll hear about the latest things, but like, the podcast and my email newsletter are like, where you'll kind of be getting the most direct like, word (Lesley: Yes) from from Ethan.Lesley Logan I hear you on that. I think (Ethan: Yeah) even though I'm in the hamster wheel of content creation, for a lot of our other brands, (Ethan: Yeah) you get the most up to date and info sooner if you're listening to the pod or the newsletter. (Ethan: For sure, for sure.) Because like, I there's something about it that feels like I'm writing a letter or I'm on a phone call (Ethan: Yeah) versus like, I'm putting this thing together to hopefully get your attention and hopefully answer a question that you may not be asking yourself today but you might be asking me yesterday. Yeah, I hear you. Okay, before I let you go, Ethan, you've been a wealth of just inspiration. BE IT action items, so we'd like to leave our listeners with bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps they can take to being it till they see it, whether it's in a tiny home or anything else.Ethan Waldman Yeah, I would say so I'll answer that question based on that you're interested in, in living in a tiny home. I challenge you to, to, you know, pick up a book or not about decluttering and downsizing and start start doing that. Because if you are feeling like a tiny home is far into your future in terms of saving up the money for it or just having the time to build it. Down, you know, lowering your footprint, just even in the house that you live in now is a great start to living tiny, and it's an actionable step that you can take now.Lesley Logan Yeah. And I also think like, even if you don't want to live tiny, we can all use a little decluttering and lowering of our footprint (Ethan: Oh yeah.) on this planet. Yeah. Well, that is, I love that. Thank you so much.Ethan Waldman You're welcome.Lesley Logan All right. Well, everyone, how are you going to do this in your life? How are you going to use the tips, the things, the stories that Ethan has told you? Let us know by tagging the @be_it_pod on Instagram, you can tag @ethanwaldman. Obviously, if you're on his newsletter, you can actually just reply to an email and tell him there. And let us know because you know, whether or not you want to live in a tiny home, I hope you can see like the journey that Ethan went on and how it's taken him to where he wants to be. And then sometimes we want to know the entire design from start to finish. It doesn't always work. It doesn't work that way ever actually. So so I hope it was an inspiration for you and taking the steps that you want and being it till you see it.That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It podcast.

How to Finance A Tiny HouseSubscribe: https://thingsyoushouldknow.supercast.techFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/879254746173653There are two types of tiny homes: a home on wheels, which could qualify as a recreational vehicle, and a home built on a permanent foundation.How to Buy a Foreclosed HomePrices vary as widely as home styles. The average tiny house costs between $10,000 and $30,000 if you build it yourself, according to the tiny house blog The Tiny Life. Costs double if you hire a builder. The price can hinge on how many bells and whistles you add and may even reach six figures.If you're planning to put a tiny home on your property, says Matthew Davies, founder and CEO of real estate management company Harmony Communities, "your first step would be going to your local building department, whether for the county or the city, and finding out the zoning regulations."Home Equity Loans or Lines of CreditIf you already own a home and want to add a tiny house to your property, you may be able to tap your home equity to get the money you need.Instead of a home equity loan or HELOC being secured by the new tiny house, it is secured by your primary residence. This means that if you have trouble paying back the debt, your main home could be seized to satisfy the loan.Also, keep in mind that you may be limited in how much you can borrow. Many home equity lenders only allow you to borrow up to your combined loan-to-value ratio. This is the amount of debt between your first mortgage and home equity loan or HELOC, divided by your home's fair market value.The terms of your financing can vary, depending on whether you choose a home equity loan or HELOC. Home equity loans, for instance, typically have fixed interest rates with repayment terms ranging from five to 30 years.A HELOC often has a variable interest rate and a draw period when you can pay down your balance and borrow again from your line of credit, as with a credit card.After this initial period, you'll make full payments until your debt is paid off. HELOC terms can range from five years up to 30 years, depending on the lender.The interest rate on a home equity loan or HELOC can be higher than what you might pay on a traditional mortgage.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Best US Cities for Tiny House LivingSubscribe: https://thingsyoushouldknow.supercast.techFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/879254746173653The ongoing fascination with tiny homes hasn't lost momentum, and more people might decide to build tiny in the not-too-distant future. Ordinances that prevent accessory dwelling, and a lack of builders focusing on small living spaces are two significant barriers to growing our tiny house nation, but more and more places are starting to welcome home owners who want to build under 600 square-feet.Where are the best places to go tiny? To identify states that don't micro-manage miniature home building, we studied resources, ordinances, and builders in all 50 states. Based on an unweighted system awarding points for opportunities to easily live tiny, the top five states where going tiny is a bit easier than the rest are California, Oregon, Texas, North Carolina and Florida.A tiny house community is a village where tiny house dwellers live alongside each other in areas designed for small-living. If you want to bypass the often challenging process of financing a tiny house, finding raw or undeveloped land for sale where you can legally put your tiny house, or searching for a tiny house for sale with land, living in a tiny house community is often a great and more affordable option. Sometimes these communities function like RV parks. You basically pay to park your tiny home on wheels on a lot with hookup utilities. Other tiny house communities offer tiny homes for sale or rent, as well as plots of land where you can build your own tiny home. In fact, renting a tiny home in one of these communities short-term is a good idea for those who aren't sure about buying or building their own tiny home yet. Why not try it out before you commit? Below we outline some of the best tiny house communities around the US, with particular focus on Colorado, Florida, and California — states that are particularly tiny-house-friendly.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Advantages and Disadvantages of Tiny House Living

The Many Benefits of Tiny House LivingSubscribe: https://thingsyoushouldknow.supercast.techFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/879254746173653Youtube Video: https://youtu.be/PFNdIup9kS0Advantages of Tiny HousesPeople who have live in tiny houses speak glowingly about their many benefits. They say living tiny has made their lives better in numerous ways, such as:Lower Expenses. A tiny house costs a lot less to build than a full-sized one. According to The Tiny Life, it's possible to build a tiny house for $23,000 on average. The average price for a full-sized house, by contrast, is $272,000 – more than 10 times as much. Cutting back on housing expenses enables tiny house owners to put more money toward luxuries (such as travel), save for retirement by using what you might have been spending on a house payment to put into an IRA with TD Ameritrade, or simply work less.No Mortgage. Most people can't afford to buy a house without taking out a mortgage, which only adds to the long-term cost. A 30-year mortgage at 4.5% interest raises the overall cost of the average house to $482,000. The Tiny Life reports that 68% of tiny house owners own their homes free and clear, as compared to just 29% of all homeowners.Lower Energy Use. Tiny houses don't just cost less upfront – they're also much cheaper to maintain. Bills for electricity, fuel, water, and waste disposal are all much lower. In addition, it's much easier to live off the grid in a tiny house, since you can heat the entire space with a small wood stove and power it with a small solar array. Many tiny houses even have composting toilets, which break down waste without needing to be hooked up to a sewage system.Freedom of Movement. A tiny house has a small footprint, so it doesn't require a large plot of land. In addition, many small houses are built on trailers, so their owners can take them along whenever they move to a new city. For many people, this is a way to enjoy a life on the road without giving up all the comforts of home.Easier Maintenance. A tiny house is easy to take care of. With less space to clean and fewer appliances to repair, tiny house owners can spend less time on chores and more on their work, hobbies, and relationships.Harmony With Nature. The tiny house movement goes hand in hand with the environmental movement. Tiny houses require less material to build and less energy to power. Also, their small size makes them easier to site in a place that's close to nature.A Simpler Life. A tiny house doesn't have room for any kind of excess stuff: bulging wardrobes, elaborate electronics, and huge libraries of books and videos. Tiny homeowners pare their belongings down to the essentials, keeping only the items that truly enrich their lives.

Jewel is leading the conversation on inclusiveness and diversity in the tiny house movement and is a wonderful interview guest. We talk about a wide range of topics, from her own tiny house and the special features inside it, to some issues that persist in our housing and financial systems. There are many problems with housing in the United States, and there’s been systemic racism built into our housing system and financial structures for a long time. I think it’s important that as we build the tiny house movement we do what we can to prevent this movement from reflecting the system at large by keeping these kinds of things in mind, and Jewel has some great suggestions on how we can all move forward.

Emily Gerde is exploring with Brian Eck and Tucker Roe the ever-growing Tiny House Movement. Brian is the owner of Eck Architecture.

RV regulations are not sufficient for what the tiny house movement stands for - to have homes people live in permanently. Parking is still a real problem and many find that they need to park far from the city which adds a daily commute and all the cost associated with that to the affordability consideration. Eck is working with banks to try to find financing for their clients. The loans typically will not be 30-year loans but need to be paid off in a much shorter time period. Regulations are good for the consumer as well. Many builders are starting to offer their services and it is hard for the future homeowners to know who is legit and who is not. If there is a regulatory body, they at least will know if a builder is part of a quality control organization. If a tiny home was built to certain standards and inspected during the building process - then financing, insurance, and eventual resale are all easier. What about the DIYers? Having guidelines and inspections - the stamp of approval so to speak, will help the DIY builder to be accepted into a community or a mobile home park if that is their choice. Tiny Houses: An investment opportunity. Use it as Air B&B or participate in HipCamp. Or an investor could build a tiny house community and either sell it or rent it out. How do you see the future? Hoping for strong regulations to bring it to the larger community. The hope is that politicians will recognize the movement as a way to bring affordable housing to their cities. Allow a tiny home to be part of a large property or even be parked in a driveway. For many, home ownership could become a reality. Eck is specializing on figuring out what the particular person really wants and needs instead of cramming everything in.

Emily and Art geek out on all the options available for tiny house construction. Both are in favor of clear regulations so costly mistakes can be avoided. Lots of tips and facts for anyone interested in the Tiny House Movement. Post by Emily Gerde: I had a wonderful interview with Art, where we discuss all things tiny houses from a builder's perspective. Art mentions tiny homes being one of the great options to minimizing our environmental impact due to the few materials, utilities and space needed for them in society. Art started gaining construction experience in his youth working with family businesses, spending the summers working on roofing, siding and other construction on the east coast. Since then, Art has gained invaluable knowledge and experience in many different facets of construction. Art has experience with concrete and pier foundations, wood and steel framing, outdoor structures, decks, complete renovations, building additions, geodesic dome construction, and now – building the best Tiny House Shells you can find. Art is the builder for Einstyne Tiny Homes, and a geek for “building science”, airtight construction, green building and always striving for ways to ensure the greatest quality builds for the customer. sArt is an avid animal advocate and loves spending time with his pets, volunteering with animal organizations and is very excited to bring this event to Adams County Fairgrounds for a second year. We discussed the ways in which tiny houses are a sustainable option for the future by using yes utilities and more efficient heating and cooling, as well as green construction. Art recommends looking into Building Science White Papers to keep up to date on best practices and resources. Find more info here https://buildingscience.com/. When thinking about building a tiny house, Art recommends taking the time to be in a tiny house, and talking with people who are living the lifestyle. Whether it's a camper or a tiny house, get an insiders perspective and ask lots of questions. Art builds shells and often has a model available for people to step into, but he highly recommends getting into a finished home to get the best idea of what you want in your design. We both agreed that tiny house festivals are a great way to step into several tiny homes, get to know several builders, and network with vendors. We discuss the exciting future for the tiny house movement and how many builders are moving to IRC codes that specifically align with Appendix Q. Having standards to follow is a great step in the right direction to ensure tiny home builds are safe. We dive into the discrepancy of pricing with tiny homes. Art explains that material quality is the key. Material costs have increased creating a jump in building costs. He explains that there are also differences in cost depending on your location and energy codes. There is a misconception that tiny homes construction is easier but Art explains why that isn't the case. Art goes into his passion for the DIY crowd and ways he can provide a safe and up to code shell, while still allowing for the creativity and lower price of finishing your own home. He is an expert in air-tight construction and explains on how important air quality is for any home. We dive deep into insulation and the best green options and how to best insulate for your situation. Art has great tips on gutters, siding and ways to keep the weight of your tiny home down. We go into the details of the Colorado Tiny House Festival, including what to expect, how many tiny homes will be available to tour and activities to enjoy. I (Emily) will be speaking at the festival and discussing how tiny living has changed our lives forever! Art will be there representing Einstyne homes so be sure to check him out! Art finishes up with some wisdom to not give up on the tiny house movement. He asks that you get involved in your local community and meetups to work towards getting tiny houses legalized and build beautiful communities.

Positive creativity from Millennials. Introducing Felice Cohen 90 Lessons for Living Large in 90 Square Feet The Millennial Generation has stumbled on a movement which is catching steam while changing the mindset of many American. The Tiny House, Tiny Apartment and less is more movement is gaining popularity with many in the younger generation, with a progression toward Baby Boomers looking toward affordable retirement. Enter Felice Cohen The epitome of less is more by living example is Felice Cohen. Looking to live in Manhattan, Felice found an extremely affordable apartment in the city that never sleeps by referral of a friend. To her surprise the apartment consisted of 90 square feet of living space. Think of the space as a really big closet 9 feet by 10 feet wide. I interview Felice via Skype during which Felice stated how the transition was a serious adjustment mentally, spiritually and physically to feel at home in such a confined area. There were unforeseen challenges such as not having a formal kitchen, and an extremely tiny bathroom to name a few. After the initial shock, it was easier than expected. The task of turning such a small dwelling into a habitat may have been a bit easier for Felice as her profession as a professional organizer aided the transition to living, unlike most Americans. An important fact she highlighted was how there is a cost to having possessions. Having a lot of "stuff" is taxing on your time for maintenance, cost money for storage and requires energy to keep in your vicinity. Why waste energy on something you rarely "need". A good example is having a $50,000 car when you work 15 feet away and all your needs are within walking distance. The New Movement, Experience not things. Within the American population, there is a new movement to live and little more fully. That movement encompasses spending your resources on living the experience versus having more stuff. The experiences movement to me is an honest progression to a simpler set of values and better overall life. I personally have experienced the wear and tear of having too many things, particularly after the fallout of 2008. If you have ever moved from on place to another or sold a house after 5 years of residence, it's easy to understand the less is more mentality. Available on Amazon [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="162"] 90 lessons for living large in 90 square feet[/caption] Enter the Tiny House. Felice no longer lives in the 90 square foot apartment. Instead upgraded into a 500 square foot apartment, by most living standards is still tiny. Much of her time is dedicated to the Tiny House Movement, by having workshops, lectures and appearances at Tiny house, and frugal living trade shows. Felice informed me the movement is gaining incredible momentum in the United States and sparking global interest. In the event you are unaware a tiny house consist of a dwelling of less than 400 square feet. Takeaways about Tiny Living. Living with less is a mental, physical and spiritual change. Makes living simpler. Requires less personal resources. Will require an adjustment to your person. January is Get Organized month. Staying tiny must be a priority because of our culture. https://www.pinterest.com/felfish11/living-large-in-any-space/ Find more information about Felice Cohen. https://www.felicecohen.com/new-home.html https://www.facebook.com/90LessonsforLivingLargein90SquareFeet/ https://www.instagram.com/felicecohen90/ https://felicecohen.wordpress.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/felice-cohen-728a1a/?trk=hp-identity-photo https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGWlovb0OigJojvS0HfTxxA https://www.amazon.com/Lessons-Living-Large-Square-Feet-ebook/dp/B01CM3XU0E Now Go live the Billionaire LifeStyle!

Most people are not considering building a tiny house. Most of us want homes that are larger, in fact MUCH larger, than a typical tiny home. Mobile, trailer-ready tiny homes are usually between 100 and 300 square feet and tiny homes with a permanent foundation can be up to 600 square feet. To put that into perspective, according to reference.com, the average American bedroom in a new home is between 120 and 150 square feet. And master bedrooms are typically larger, averaging more than 200 square feet. That 200 square feet, by the way, does not take into account the master closet space or the master bathroom. The closest any of us will ever come to tiny house living will be the time that we spend in a stateroom, on a cruise ship. The typical room on a cruise ship is 150 to 200 square feet. So, if you can’t imagine your whole house fitting into such a small space, a tiny house is probably not for you. But, even if you have no desire to live in just a few hundred square feet, there are many lessons that we can learn from the tiny house movement. Show notes at www.BYHYU.com

037 The Tiny House Movement - Christopher Smith, Filmmaker of Tiny: A Story About Living Small

Mo' Money Podcast

Christopher Smith, documentary filmmaker of Tiny: A Story About Living Small, and I talk about the financial upside to living in a tiny house, and how he managed to build his own tiny house with his own money and no prior building experience. Long episode description: When I watched Christopher Smith and Marete Mueller’s documentary Tiny: A Story About Living Small, it kind of blew my mind. I was always aware of the tiny house movement, even fantasized about building my own one day, but it wasn’t until I watched Christopher and Marete build a tiny house from nothing that I became a bit obsessed. Like started googling plans to build my own tiny house obsessed. Luckily, I didn’t have to just wonder how one would go about building their own tiny house because Christopher was nice enough to chat with me about how he did it himself — with his own money and no prior building experience. If he can do it, anyone can, right? That’s one of the big takeaways from the film actually. Just because you’ve never done something before, there’s still nothing stopping you from accomplishing it. And Christopher not only built his own tiny house, he made a film at the same time. A film that went on to major success by premiering at SXSW and screening at a number of other noteworthy film festivals. Another takeaway from the film is the idea of settling down and making a home for yourself. I must have been thinking about his film when I wrote my blog post about embracing life’s impermanence, because that’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I grew up believing that at a certain age you needed to settle down and stay in one place to raise a family, but that just doesn’t seem important or rational anymore. You don’t need to have a big house in the suburbs with a 30-year mortgage you can hardly afford to have a home. You can buy a plot of land like Christopher and build a tiny house on wheels for the same price as a downpayment and live an incredibly fulfilling (and debt-free) life. Which brings me to another big takeaway — the financial rewards of living small. One of the women featured in the film was able to pay down her debt and quit her soul-crushing job to pursue her dream of being a writer because she lived in a tiny house. It’s crazy what opportunities pop up when we don’t give material goods and commercialism any power in our lives. When we focus on what’s truly important in life (family, community, mental health), we realize how insignificant stuff is. And if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times — no matter how much stuff you’ve got, you can’t take it with you.
