That Kerry is a good egg. I enjoy that feller's brand of humor.

The mini is listed at $235k and the Rancher is $407k, that makes me think its based on California housing cost. I do like they include the foundation and permits into the cost but it's still way to high.

Give this video a big thumbs up to show Kerry you like this video and his hair cause the top looks like an ocean wave. Surf's Up! 🆙 😊

I love the look of the rancher! I'll be waiting for the walkthrough video! 🤣

That mini is awfully nice.

Yeah, I like it too!!! Finally smart design in a great package!!!

I love the washer/dryer in the bedroom. I had that setup in an old apartment back in the day and loved it! I just pulled stuff out of the dryer, and turned around and there was my walk-in closet. Such a great design if you live alone.

I want one. Seriously, I wish I could sell my home, buy a plot of land and put one of these smaller homes on it. I have no idea why - may I just love the idea that much.

This looks cool 😎

They just keep getting better! Thank you!

Hi Kerry, you're so right having a coat closet is a big deal. These look really nice however they are a bit pricy I know your prices are higher than here in Florida. Thanks for doing these videos very informative not to mention the dash of humour you toss in makes watching your channel very enjoyable. Take care looking forward to see what's next 😉🌴

Thanks for all these vids, and for your deadpan delivery on the jokes :)

Really enjoying your videos!

We have these in Canada; we call them sheds.

Another great video with excellent information. I thought the layout of both models was great. Thank you

I like the designs. I like the fact that the bedroom is large and separate, not part of the living room space like the Boxabl. I like that they do the site prep, doing the foundation, getting the permits, and utilities run. That certainly adds to yhe cost, but they have better control of the quality of the process end to end. Thanks for another great video!

I like both of these. The layout is very nice and the size of the rooms are good. Usually they seem to be too small but these are good size. Will be looking for your video on the larger unit when finished!! Thanks!! ❤️💜💚

The prices are cheap for my area in LA. However, I suspect that they don't have my area in mind when they chose to include permits, foundation, etc in the pricing. Im building a 1K sq ft manufactured modular ADU now. My contract price is much higher than there larger unit. The worst part has been the slow permitting process. I took over 8 weeks to get the power company to come to the site to determine where the meter can be placed. It now has been more than ten weeks and the power company is still processing the request.

Honestly I don’t know what these comments are talking about. The price is quite reasonable. Many people are arguing that they can get a standard Modular home but what people need to realize is this isn’t an ordinary home! This is a FOLDABLE prefabricated home (which is the first of this kind) for easy and cheap transportation, it comes with electrical, mechanical and plumbing finishes. It seems just as cheap as building something by a local contractor, but alot more quick and efficient.

This is a condensed home. Well designed and completely pre approved and inspected. No extra hidden costs. Just site work to service it. You can build this twice the size for less per sq foot easy. The point is you don’t need twice the size. So you pay for your kitchen, bathroom, laundry and heating system all in a small sq footage So price per square foot doesn’t equate. This size is just enough- all you need. And in our Pacific Northwest You cannot get a home for $250k let alone one ready to move in within 6 months. Caregivers , aging parents ADU ‘s , rental income , grown kids that can’t afford to “ launch “. The potential is awesome Well done

How does anyone get mad at you? You are funny and adorable. I love your videos. Thank you!

Great video

Cool new find! Thanks.

You fixed the overexposure. THANK YOU!

Wow. I really like that Rancher. I have visitors once in a while(kids and grandkids) and this looks killer.

I really like the size of these homes, as many of the prefab homes are just too small for my taste. I will be waiting to see your video on the larger one. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

❤️❤️❤️ Second favorite video you've done to date!!! (My fav is the new exterior options on rectangle original concept mobile homes)

I really like both but I think the ranch is awesome. Little pricey but I still want to see a completed version.🌈😎

I have surfed to this channel maybe 10x. Time to sub. This is well researched content. Keep up the good work!

I’m totally new to Rohe Homes. Love what you showed us. Can’t wait to see the rancher. Keep kicking ass Kerry. Your videos are awesome.

Wow it's soooo expensive . Beautiful! Bummer

Kerry, the designs of these Lotus unfoldables are really well-thought out as you say, but the price is MORE than prohibitive. It would be less expensive to hire out a crew to build a new home on site than to purchase one of these homes. Great idea, but I'll have to pass for now.

This looks like a well built home and I love the look. I have been viewing your channel on utube for about 1&1/2 years and I think that 3 companies are in the running for my primary home based on look Layout and most importent for me is built so it's going to Last a long time ...and be strong enough to feel safe when we have a hurricane since I live in FL.

Great video. Good education on housing options. Thanks!

I will look forward to seeing your videos when you get to see these in person. I suspect that prices are always going to be more than we hope to spend, but in reality when you get a home with utilities and land… we’re not going to get cheap.

Great overview. Thank you.. These great little ADUs/tiny/small homes certainly are a step up from Boxabl. Like Boxabl and other flat of low pitched roofs on modular homes, their market will be limited. The wider modular home industry is now using a patented hinged roof system. Hopefully they'll buy into this hinged roof system. Doing so will expand their share of this market. It was interesting to see they did not provide you with a new rendering with the new kitchen design. Either they are so tight on cash they didn't have a new rendering done, or their is a third kitchen option. I see a second floorplan coming for the Lotus home. A two bed, two bath model could resonate with more buyers in this price point. I can also see the master bath being relocated to make way for a small laundry room. A family of three or four will not be content with a W/D in the second bathroom. A dedicated laundry room would offer some much needed storage for seasonal items and seasonal wardrobe essentials. This is where a two bedroom unit would appeal to most buyers.......storage! The three bedroom layout has no closet space in the secondary rooms. The currently window configuration does not offer wall space for an armoire. If there were a single hallway with angled entry to the secondary bedrooms there would be space for individual ensuite bathrooms with pocket doors and wall space for the armoire. One could be ensuite, the other with access from the hallway to provide a bathroom with direct access from the living area. There are a few other tweaks that would further enhance the livability of the Lotus. I believe the rooflines are likely to hinder sales more than a lack of storage for seasonal clothing, decor, and equipment. Perhaps an optional plug and play bump out folding deck or patio mounted shed is somewhere in the R&D stages. Cheers!

Nice video.

Like it, don't yet love it. $180K? I'll wait.

Thanks Keri for scouting stuff out and bringing it forward! Love the company, house but price is a little steep! Look forward to the updates!! Much appreciated ❤

Kerry - thank you for more great info. I really like the Lotus Mini. It's just the size I'm looking for. Can't wait for more info on this company. You're doing a great job!

Very kewl. Thanx🖖

wow ...how are you so good at this....where you find what no one else does?...I am just starting the video and wanted to say this. ok ..further into video...I also like/love the little closet by door for jackets , shoes , etc. I could never understand why more homes and apartments too don't have that. For me it's crucial...NOT a small thing. I love the rancher home...and your sense of humor...(regarding complaints). Will be great when you get to see and share the insides after their showing. Way out of my reach with cost or what want to pay for the smaller one....but if that changes for me ..i like these and would seriously consider the bigger one. Meanwhile i will dream about it. Thanks for being so up on what's out there.

Very cool video and I think the pricing works great for Southern California. Thanks for sharing.

Kerry you know I love your channel here but this home definitely checks all of my boxes plus I LOVE IT 😍 I DEFINITELY WANT ONE BUT I NEED IT SOON 🔜

I wonder with homes like these if they would give an option to add on a foldable extension to the home? That would be awesome!

Hey Kerry, these are cool. I know some are commenting that the prices are steep, but not so much if you are accustomed to Western Washington markets. 🤔😅 Thanks for posting great content as usual.

Both of these are really beautiful. I wonder if they would work in a hurricane zone.

Sharp Looking ⭐️💯

Could you let us know about the wind and flood tolerances for the new tiny homes if the info is available??

I'm here for the Hair.... lol all kidding aside I love all the up to date information and insight

The small one is nice and the bigger one is even nicer ! Very well thought out floor plans. When there are no actual photos of course the renderings are okay, how else would we see it ? ! ? If people complain about that then, tough luck Lester for them ! 😏

still to expensive for me on the rancher, but I really like it

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope there's an option for some customization. Adjusting the efficiency of the roof for solar panel placement and an option to add a garage would be really useful(to store a vehicle as well as solar batteries).

i love this chanel

Thanks

Love the Lotus Mini. Better even than the Boxabl. I guess I need to get on another waiting list.

Hello again from Florida

No coat closet in the rancher. I hope they have an option for one. I like that the price includes the site prep and foundation. I hope it includes the appliances too.

I like this! It has a coat closet. In Canada, that's an important must-have. I've toured a few Tiny Homes that don't have closets in the plan. Absolutely ridiculous! I like the layout of this, and the mini is a perfect size. Do they deliver to Ontario? I'm guessing that would put the price even more outside my reach, but I might win a lottery! 😁

Only 400k for the rancher? Man these guys are on the forefront and technology when it comes to affordable pre fab housing! I wish this company the best of luck their gonna need it!

Who don't want a closet,great designed.

Beautiful homes, but I am not sure that the smaller model is legitimately 3.5 times the value of the Boxabl casita. Appreciate the information that you share with us!!

These look great. Love the layout of both but the rancher looks comfortably liveable. Very interested in the video of the completed rancher. So cool that they are near to you. How new is the company? If you mentioned it, I missed it. Seems pricey but maybe the quality of their materials and craftsmanship are top notch.

Hi Kerry - a few questions. Are you aware of any companies that are doing total off grid homes? Would love to see something in a fold up design. Brilliant ideas here. The idea of getting something a little bigger but completely able to unfold on site with little to no site work and be cognizant of off grid features like incinerating toilets, gray water systems and alternative electrical systems as well would be great. Or perhaps you might know of an architect who is looking to start designing and building? Anything would be extremely helpful for my search. Northern California or more north. And I will definitely continue to watch your channel for more sources in the future, no matter what. Thanks for all the research you continue to do and provide here. 💛💛💛 your channel! Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Liking the videos! Have you come across a company you think might be better suited for a mountain home (Santa Fe Southwest US 9000 feet elevation) looking for a modern look that hopefully won’t require a lot of continuous maintenance. Thanks Ben

I like all the new concepts of these smaller homes and factories that are building them but as a retailer how do you feel about competing directly with the factory selling to the public?

Kerry, very much enjoying the channel (and the hair). Living in California, I never thought home ownership was possible, the lotus mini is perfect size for me. I wonder if you could do a video about some of the less sexy stuff, like getting bank loans for land and home. Thanks

Thanks Keri, love your videos. There prices are a little high… but thanks anyway…

Wow… love it but the price is shocking. This is where Boxable wins with production scale. I really like these homes but are they $100+k better than other options? Fascinating to watch this small, Modular, foldout home space going forward. Great videos! Keep them coming

Omg! Having a place to hang your coat here in Canada.

Now we're getting somewhere.

You have to do a fallow upon the rancher

Cool stuff, I wonder where the home ended up? I'm guessing Ucluelet or Tofino

Wow those are expensive! Also can the foldable homes be folded back up later on or is it permanently open once it’s set-up?

Great looking designs but I wouldn't be surprised if their sales end up being sluggish due to a price tag about 2X of what comparable homes would be.

Before i start these types of videos i check out the retailer's price. As I knew it wouldn't be affordable and they price themselves right out of the market for a tiny cost-effective housing solution. Cool house cool concept but the price is 4x what they should be selling for.

Including variable costs which are driven by the delivery address (compare CA vs TN) insures that some customers will be paying too much for those "One-stop shopping" services. The only way to assure local pricing is to quote and buy local, insuring that all the dollars quoted for your building are FOR YOUR BUILDING - not some ratio off the National average. Finally, at some point this fledgeling industry is going to wake up and discover their market, or die of disinterest. The argument that a smaller house will naturally incur a higher $/square foot can only be pushed so far before it collapses under it's own weight. The national average cost for a moderately-sized stick house is $150/sq foot. Buildings like this, which are priced at $444/sq foot not only push new home construction deeper into the conventional (stick frame) building market, but also hold little appeal for the first-time buyers, middle markets, AND the low-income market sector. TH is certainly a nascent industry. Let's hope it survives to maturity.

I couldn’t find any info on their website if their homes comply with modern international residential building code. If you could confirm that, it would be appreciated. I love the concept, but their prices seem awfully high.

Are they now selling or what ? ❓❓❓❓

It would be cool if you could use this to make an addition to your house

I like this concept better than boxabl

Love Kerry, his sense of humor, and his videos, AND I love the idea of this, but honestly? Underwhelmed/fail. Why would anyone who had enough money to buy one of these actually settle for one of these? There is so much more space in a great modern design package available at these prices with other manufacturers! Also, the bathroom situation is awful and awkward...who wants to sit in their tiny living room on the other side of someone flushing a toilet...yech. If they moved the bathroom to back up to the kitchen (hey - what a good idea - simpler plumbing), they could double the living room and allow the owner to actually invite a few friends over. I don't think most people who are willing to live in small spaces are looking for an oversize bedroom, but rather more common area space so they can enjoy the house when they are actually not sleeping... Even on the larger model, the bathroom situation is still awful. It doesn't look like there is access to the secondary shared toilet or the shower unless you are actually in the bedroom where the access is located...a little weird. Finally, the roof line on the larger house is going to be a horrible choice in a rainy climate because all the water is going to run down and pool against the other piece of the house - I predict roof leak issues. Give me a Boxabl any day over this, :-)

I hit like, but 'funer' is not a word.

Price, price, price since location is not a problem with these types of homes.

Hanging up clothes in the kitchen, especially when there is no door on the cupboard is just weird. The washer and dryer in the bedroom is also strange. I hope the ventilation is up to the task of getting damp air out of that space.

Is permitting by the company the only way to get a permit ? This is a grey area for me... thanks for your help.

It is what I'm looking for, but too expensive for me.

I love these videos. But as I mentioned in a previous video, it would be so great if you could just throw up some metric conversions on the videos. Just an overlay would do. Most of the world works in square metres. (Even many of us Brits now.) I know you main audience is probably in the US, but the topic has worldwide appeal. It would be so brilliant if you could just make the conversion for international viewers.

If these prices come down I could see these being really competitive

235k for a 500sqt box ? Are you kidding 🤣 bring us real value, this pricing is insane..

Could be a great little AirBnB rental?

I knew you were Canadian! Ha!

Kerry, there's been foldable homes on Amazon for quite awhile. ??? New.??? Message me for ideas on what to search for 😜

Please provide the links.

Would it survive a hurricane/tropical storm?

Like it but seems a bit steep in price. Worth actually going to the website to have a better look though.

20x27 used to be 3 bedrooms.

Like it. I'd never be able to afford it.

5:13 Sooooo, I guess I am the only one who thought “cool, Kerry has a closets channel, what a great idea.” I actually paused the video to go search for it. 😂
