Interested In Being Featured On The Channel? : http://bit.ly/Tour-Application VIDEO DESCRIPTION: Meet Franz and Jessi, a young couple who decided to ditch high rent and the traditional housing grind to build their very own tiny home from the ground up—for just $50,000. In this inspiring tour, they walk viewers through every square foot of their self-built home and share exactly how they made tiny living work, both financially and emotionally. 💸 From $1,800 Rent to $750 Lot Fee Before going tiny, Franz and Jessi were spending nearly $2,000 a month on rent in a sketchy neighborhood. Now, their monthly expenses have dropped significantly—and they’re investing in memories instead of rent. With no mortgage, no loan, and a $1,000 monthly savings, they’re living more freely than ever before. 🔨 How They Built It Themselves This couple didn’t just buy a tiny house—they built it. From designing room dimensions around real-life needs to installing their own Mr. Cool HVAC unit (saving thousands), they took a DIY approach to achieve total ownership without debt. They even repurposed appliances and integrated freebies like a pull-out pantry into their custom layout. 🍳 Functional Design in Every Corner Jessi’s love of cooking meant the kitchen needed to shine—and it does. With 12+ feet of counter space, a full-size oven, two-burner propane cooktop, and a deep sink, this compact kitchen is the best one she’s ever used. They also added a snack bar that doubles as a workspace and dining nook—perfect for daily use and saving space. 🛁 A Bathroom You’ll Actually Want to Use The full-size soaking tub, washer/dryer combo, his-and-hers closets, and calming design make this one of the most impressive tiny home bathrooms we’ve seen. With clever seasonal wardrobe rotation and downstairs dressing space, they’ve truly made the most of every inch. 🛏️ Cozy Living & Sleeping Spaces From their high-ceilinged living room with guest-ready couch to their king-size bed in the loft, Franz and Jessi prove you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for savings. The second loft even serves as extra guest space or storage—whichever they need. 🌎 Freedom to Move, Peace to Stay Certified as an RV, their tiny home is legally parked in an RV community where the owner supports small living. The flexibility of mobility, paired with the joy of homeownership, offers a perfect blend of adventure and stability.
