Achieved her dream after being SCAMMED! Her Incred-I-Box Tiny Home

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

When empty nester Karen was ready to pursue her tiny house dream, she lost a $20k downpayment to a scammer builder. She persevered & a few years later, got an affordable 16-ft Incred-I-Box that she DIY-finished out with cute decor & clever storage solutions. See links above to learn more. 🏡 *Check out another charming solo woman's tiny home in Germany:* kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZLLap2ii9F7kMU

[@ricardorivera6509]

Randy Jones is great! I hope to buy from him next year.

[@2MasterBuilder2]

I really like the upgrades she made to her Incred-I-Box. The affordable housing that Randy is providing in The Grove, his latest community, is a godsend in this environment of increasing housing costs and lot rents.

I normally don't say this but, she's a sweet woman. At first, I felt bad for her to live alone with her cat in a tiny home. But then she mentioned about her son and daughter-in-law. I'm happy to hear that. Which means she's not alone. She has family.

I love the way this incredible woman made this Incredibox into her home. Not only did she quickly pay off the previous $20,000 loss, she kept moving forward with getting her dream tiny home anyway. When she got her own tiny home, she set about making it into a customized home with space to fit her needs. She takes from over here where she doesn't need the space, and turns around utilizing the space somewhere else. Like with the end of her kitchen counter, over to where she made the closet area multi purpose for all kinds of things. Her decor is functional and pleasing to the eye! May she continue finding peace and happiness in her life decisions and choice of tiny home!
