Or if they offered them for sale! Buying property is the ladder to move up with. Help people instead of making as much money as you can off of them.

Yea this is my problem with tiny homes, why would I want to pay more for less, I would totally be on board if it was cheaper.

If that was true why are the rents impossibly high for essentially a hotel room?

Edited: for the size of a hotel room

That honestly isn’t as bad as I was thinking. I had electric heat in my first apartment, and my one bedroom cost me ~$500 every winter in 2020. I was expecting everyone to tell me it was like 1-2k 😂 Yeah I’ve definitely looked into property taxes. All my theoretical mortgage budgets have a 2.23% tax rate. Im finding that that’s way over what it pt is normally. I found that number online so idk how accurate it is but it gives me a good enough estimate

I don’t know if $1200 a month for 384 square feet is taking initiative

Cool!

Electricity and propane together are shortly going to be ~ $570 a month once the $150 a month propane hike goes into effect.

OP, make sure you also look at the property tax history on Zillow/Redfin for every house you're interested in. NH has the third highest property tax rate in the US.

We are building these tiny homes for people that are in transitions of their life where they may not be able to afford owning a home or wanting the long term commitment of owning a home. This includes students and elderly people who may be transitioning out of their homes and into something more affordable at the time! Our aim is to provide affordable housing in an area where the cost of rent drastically can change how much you are able to save towards buying a home in the area! The idea to build these homes came after a demand for affordable housing for our own staff at Harmony Homes. With this said, we do have future plans to continue to build tiny home communities in the area with the potential of allowing home ownership!

Have you guys considered having people buy housing, not renting. Seems like renting would just make these glorified apartments. I’m sure many people would love to actually own the home

Agreed - on a clear super sunny day in the fall when foliage is at its peak it is out of this world.

Massachusetts YIMBYs salivating. You will own nothing and be happy!

What’s Dover’s minimum lot size? Adding tiny home rentals is a net loss for any community since services are almost always supported by commercial properties. When you have higher density homes fitting 2x as many people into the same area as if you had built larger homes with bigger lots, you’re looking for a problem for the desired “solution” of increasing taxes. It’s a big burden on the rest of the tax base.

I don’t live in Dover but I’m never going to celebrate towns trying to become more like cities. It’s an infection

This is my dad and stepmother John and Maggie Randolph’s project! We are working to bring affordable housing to the Seacoast! I am so happy to see this made it on to Reddit! If anyone has any questions or comments, would be happy to talk with anyone!

Jeez, people will do anything to avoid building high density/multi family structures.

"As the argument escalated, she said the man broke a mirror and then pointed a gun at her while she sat on the bed with her 3-year-old child."

Broke a mirror? Now he's really screwed.

$180 electric, well pump electric hot water heater. 1800sqft 1980s cape. wood and oil heat. we don’t leave outside lights on we go to bed early no one home during the day and wake up early. no gaming computers and only one TV. all that matters a lot have a friend same style house but has two kids that game and a couple lizards that need heaters and multiple tvs and his bill is almost 400. we spend most out free time outside. Having a healthy lifestyle and spending time outside helps

It's like a revolving door The people that need to be without a doubt locked up just keep being let go to cause more havoc when does enough become enough.

I used to be so surprised when I would hear about people leaving their firearm unsecured but it's just been happening so much more lately do people just not have any critical thinking skills? I'm all for responsible gun ownership but Jesus Christ Almighty this guy.

This sounds cool and then realize it's rentals. I mean I guess that's decent for people renting but does not help people find affordable homes.

imagine being a settler or trader in the 1600s and seeing this the first time

Did you get an appraisal? If so, there's your fair market value.

As many others have stated, Zillow is a joke.

John and Maggie Randolph out of Exeter. They own Harmony Homes and built housing on site in Durham for their employees. Even opened a daycare for their employees and others. They're the bomb!

The relationship disclosure is given to CUSTOMERS and CLIENTS at or before the first business meeting REGARDLESS of if an agency is designated or dual agency. You are NOT A CLIENT until you sign a buyer agency agreement or a listing agreement. Unless you signed one, your 'buyer agent' doesn't represent you, owe you confidentiality or represent your best interest.

Eh, there should be more variety in housing than apartments and mcmansions. We don't have enough of the in between stuff. Having different densities is a good thing.

These look appropriately sized for an individual or a couple without a lot of material stuff. It's not going to be for everybody, but these look like they would be good homes for people that have modest means and don't want to live in an apartment.

and not a shit hole
