Misconceptions about Tiny House Living 🏠

[@noahcount7132]

It's comforting to know that your tiny home is disaster and invasion resistant, Jamie, along with being comfortable and convenient. The planning and execution that were essential to the project have resulted in both peace of mind and security for you. You've done very well! 👍👍

Thank you Noah 🤗

[@Asierramoore]

Very interesting and useful information

[@laydmac123]

Love your videos thanks for sharing really great ideas for building your home currently in the process of building our Belize home❤

[@jamierocke]

Nice! I hope it’s going well 😊 all the best to you 🤗

I live in Belize and want to start the process for my mortgage this year … would really love to get a more in depth video about the process !

[@shandaquiles4424]

Love the content Jamie thanks for the information

[@machelmccatty606]

Hey I love your content, you have a beautiful home...Is the cost breakdown in Belize dollars or USD?

[@jamierocke]

Thank you! The cost breakdown is in Belize dollars. Our exchange rate is US1 to BZD2.

[@machelmccatty606]

@@jamierocke Okay, I figured it was. The utilities and property tax are much lower than you would pay in Barbados.

[@jamierocke]

Oh yes, for sure. I think when added together plus the HOA and mortgage that’s what puts it on the higher end, especially for Belize.

[@brokeproof310]

What is the monthly or yearly term for your mortgage? Also, did you have to make a down payment? If so, what is the typical percentage for a down payment in Belize?

[@jamierocke]

As a first time homeowner I didn’t have to put a downpayment. My mortgage is for 15 years.

@@jamierocke thanks for the information🇧🇿

[@savoryexposure]

@@jamierocke oh this makes so much more sense now with the cost of your mortgage since the average length in the US is 30 years!

I enjoyed the informative video.. can you give us updates on your room decorating

[@jamierocke]

I’ll try! I’m quite a minimalist so my bedroom doesn’t have a lot to it. But I’ll definitely try to share more decor videos. 😊

[@savoryexposure]

I was curious if you would be willing to share the square footage? I see the L-shape but I’m still trying to figure out the sizing in my head

[@jamierocke]

Sure, the tiny house is on 1/2 an acre.

[@savoryexposure]

@@jamierocke oh i meant the interior square footage?

[@jamierocke]

@@savoryexposure just about 500 sq ft

[@savoryexposure]

@@jamierocke OK yes, that’s definitely tiny! I lived in a 600sq ft condo and I thought it was small. Having a nice outside area definitely would make that livable though. Thank you!! Looking forward to more videos

Hey sis, I absolutely love your vision and your house. I am American and I have shown it to many of my friends to give them an idea of what I am looking to build in Belize. The house has more of a modern feel which I’m use to and we have similar styles. I can’t lie, when I saw tiny house I said, Nah sis that is not a tiny house. Lol That’s the average size apartment complex in the US. 😂 But I just figured maybe you grew up in a larger home and felt it was a downsize. Please take no offense I am proud of you and would love to find out where I be can find an HOA community in Belize. I love more organized communities because honestly I am quite a neat freak 😂😂 Are you on Instagram? I’d like to show you some ideas I have mind. Tonya

🤭 it is quite spacious! Unfortunately I don’t have IG. But get a good architect! I really recommend Marlene. She is great at helping you achieve exactly what you want.
