The fact that this is the house they UPGRADED him to AFTER finding out he was going to make a video on it is not a good sign...

Hearing someone say they didn’t even think twice before making a $26,000 purchase is wild to me

It's a shed. You're buying a shed.

NO plumbing, NO electrical, No insulation, No permit. Be prepared to spend tens of thousands more.

Bro bought an awful house and the spirit of all landlords immediately surged through him 💀

I was all ready to be sympathetic to the guy because this being the only path to homeownership for a lot of people is absolutely depressing and then he hit us with the “I’ll just turn it into an Airbnb” and those feelings quickly turned into rage lmao

"I hope you buy a house on Amazon" sounds like a passive-aggressive way to say you hate someone.

This is not revolutionary or amazing. This is dystopian. Amazon is selling slightly oversized Walmart garden sheds as houses here. This is some sort of next level trailer park living.

danny casually referencing his child still baffles me, i'll never get used to danny being a father

Gotta love the mindset. “It’s not good enough for me to live in so I’m going to turn this into a shitty rental to make it someone else’s problem”

my heart sank when he said he was gonna use it as an airbnb lmao

I'm a civil engineer who has worked with prefab houses so let me tell you this. These houses are essentially containers with holes and minimal insulation, so they're pretty small in general. You have to pay extra to have outlets and all the electricity stuff. You need to build a minimal foundation since they're so small but I wouldn't recommend them for areas with earthquakes and other extreme climate conditions or you'll end up like Dorothy in the wizard of Oz.

Wow this guys bad financial decision sent him down an entire villain arc.

Pro finance tip: if you have 20 - 30k to spend on a shitty pre-fab house, just make a down payment on a regular ass house.

From the 1900s-1940s, Sears (then Sears-Roebuck) used to sell homes through their mail catalogue, they ranged from small to big ranch style homes, and basically you would receive pre-cut wood pieces that you (and I guess neighbors or friends) could assemble together, over the course of several weeks to a month, and the end products looked pretty good! (as long as you knew what you were doing) Back then, people could forego bank loans and mortgages and purchase their homes through Sears-Roebuck's loan program, which almost always resulted in the buyer getting a loan (so they could buy from Sears-Roebuck) but when the Great Depression hit, Sears also took a massive hit and ended up having to foreclose on a LOT of those homes. Think about a house you built with you own hands being taken away by the company you bought it from... Anyways, a lot of those homes are actually still around and as long as they haven't been too renovated you can often tell which homes are from the catalogue! Just thought it was interesting that history was repeating itself

The house folding in on you won’t be a problem for your squishy bones

Hey Danny, licensed structural engineer here. Depending on your local jurisdiction will affect the legality of this house and also whether you need a foundation, anchorage, additional bracing, and a whole slew of other potential problems. The trick here is that because it can be disassembled you can claim that it is not a permanent structure and therefore is not intended for the structural capacity actual houses are built for. Not does that mean this won't blow over in a storm or fall apart in an earthquake? No. It just means statistically this thing has a low chance (in theory) of being erected in a "100-year wind/seismic event" that traditional homes are build for.

This video is the best anti-AirBNB ad I've ever seen.

You could just buy a steel barn for the same price and its bigger and has room for a 2nd floor. And yes, some companies will build it for you, no extra cost.

The fact that he'd buy a house without having the land to purchase it on, tells us that he has a much bigger problem than ugly couches. He needs therapy.

Crossover between the lady that's digging a mineshaft under her neighborhood and a broke person that has been tricked into living in a 6 ft tall origami

This guy bought a 26k house without a second thought when he doesn't even have a place for it.. How are people so bad with their money, he would be better off gambling it.

The reason so many people are suggesting renting to salon workers is due to the nature of the industry. Most people don't realize that many hair stylists usually have to go through a process called booth renting. If a stylist can't afford to run their own salon they usually have to rent a space inside an existing salon to serve clients.

Much respect to Danny Gonzalez for actually bringing up how wrong it is to make an AirBnB out of one of these tiny houses that the guy who bought it himself wouldn't even live in.

danny blasting out those second channel videos like nobody's business

this is so sims coded im crying

Tiny home enthusiast here. Pre fab tiny homes are becoming more and more common. I’ve seen them from Home Depot, Lowes etc. but I’ve seen taller ceilings in all of them. All of them need the drywall, electrical and plumbing it seems. I think all of that would still be less expensive than buying a custom tiny home from a tiny home builder.

Wait until the kids find out their grandparents probably ordered their homes from a Sears catalog and called someone to send the house to them.

Man i was so excited to see this guy learn homesteading on his own land free from the confinements of the city but turns out he's a lvl 1 landlord on the slumlord class tree.

These aren't houses, these are sheds. They say home office because its meant to be an additional building to go outside your normal house.

Yall, if you really want affordable housing. The usda has 0 down loans you can spend on actual land and a real proper manufactured home. I've seen basic models go for 30-40k but you can get rather nice ones still cheaper than stick and brick. Just has to be in an area officially marked as rural. (Some cities are slow and suburban areas are still marked rural) Another option for those who just cant do country life is condos. Like apartments but it's cheaper than rent and has a much more doable down payment. Just make sure you double check those hoa fees and what they go to.

The fact like every single "house" shown was noting it was good for, essentially, temporary spaces not meant to be lived in says a Lot...

aren't they just essentially recreating trailer homes? Like, the housing market is so bad that people are willing to buy prefab trailer houses on Amazon lmao

Danny casually saying “my son” still makes me do a comical spit take

These people are gonna lose their minds when they realize you used to be able to buy prefab houses with a sears catalog.

I really dislike the article suggesting tiny homes are an affordable option, the expensive part of the home is the land it has to go on. Prefabs allow you to assemble a neighbourhood quickly but they don’t actually do much of anything to reduce the price of housing. Prefab homes have been around for a long time and they haven’t prevented housing markets from exploding.

Ever since Danny stopped saying whats up greg I've become clinically depressed. My bones have become squishier, my butthole tighter. Pls bring back the la croix 😔

If youre spending $30,000+ on a "house" from amazon, just buy a trailer home or some shit, theyre actually insulated and come properly set up for a human being to live in

I love that they tagged Austin McBroom of all people. The internet never forgets

the main thing for me is, there needs to be an option in this price point. i am a 31 yr old. married for 5 years. my wife is disabled and cant work. we are a single income house hold. we have been stuck in a cycle of renting because we will probably never be able to own a house or be able to move. we are literally stuck where we are. there needs to be a livable option where someone can own a place at this price point, and not have to rent it, have the chance to and save up. i think that this is a viable option. if not, there needs to be a focus on making more options like in this price range.

ah yes, the solution to the housing crisis: uninsulated boxes that are probably even more expensive to upkeep. definitely not just increasing regular ass housing.

The amazon houses lowkey look like something an eight year old could build in minecraft

Danny, you are 100% correct that increasing the housing supply with higher density housing would make it generally more affordable, but two main factors prevent it from going forward: zoning/politics and developer interest. 1) in most places in the US at least, in order to build higher density housing, the real estate has to be zoned for it, and a lot of current home-owners in those areas don't want to risk their home values to decrease as a result of the new development (aka NIMBYs) 2) there are far fewer housing developers than there used to be as a result of both the 2008 financial crisis and more recently as a result of mortgage interest rates rising, so if the development project isn't profitable enough, and generally "affordable" housing isn't as profitable as "luxury" housing is to build and sell (unless it is subsidized by the local or state gov... also not usually popular with local residents, because it costs addtl tax money), there won't be a lot of interest in developing these projects. This is why you continue to see more and more "luxury" condos and apartments still being built, but almost no affordable housing. Side-note: these luxury apartments often just get sold and flipped back into Airbnbs... so it is a self-perpetuating problem.

These houses are mainly meant for places that don't really suffer from severe weather and these are also meant as relatively cheap cottages and so on if you don"t really have money or regular cottage at your hand.

people were suggesting making it a salon bc they know it’s unliveable and were like trying to save people from getting it as an airbnb

this reminds me of that one woman who wrote an article like "how I'm beating homelessness by living in my car" Yeah, that's called Being Homeless

That would’ve been a down payment on a nice actual house

16:20 not me growing up watching UnspeakableGaming knowing that man would rupture my eardrums each time I clicked a video

Well, I guess now we need these Amazon houses to target advertise at Drew Gooden so he buys it to test.

My house don't jiggle, jiggle, it FOLDS.

Danny in his Dad era is the most wholesome thing ever

I think these are the kind of containers people sometimes put on their land and live in while they're waiting for their actual house to be built

seems awfully convenient to me that an amazon employee just happened to see his video, “loved it”?? & hooked him up with a bigger “house” plus some very random furniture… when he clearly was never planning on living in it… it screams undisclosed ad/partnership to me, but maybe I’m too skeptical lol

I feel like these are just fancy overpriced sheds

I like how they’re tricking us into bringing trailer parks back. “It’s a tiny house! Need somewhere to put your tiny house? Welcome to our Tiny House Village 😉”

Here’s the thing they’re not gonna tell you 1. You still have to obtain land to place the house on 2. You have to get your land zoned and have the city ALLOW YOU to place that house where THEY tell you to put it on your own yard 3. Running utility lines along with digging out areas for them (plumbing and electrical) is going to be a huge expense 4. With all the other points in mind along with other things I didn’t mention???? You’re looking at approximately well over $500k just to obtain land and place that house there with full electrical capabilities you would add in yourself which also costs insane amounts of money you’re spending ON TOP of the fact that you spent a good $26k on a house alone

airbnb yuppies are the unholy union of landlords and dropshippers

I'd like to believe these amazon homes would serve a better purpose as emergency/temporary housing for those who have lost homes in natural disasters. I found the appeal of these houses being able to be shipped and assembled so quickly fitting for that. That's my idea, anyway, I could be wrong.

Danny a lot of like black hairstylist actually do use sheds and smaller rooms to braid in the same as nail techs and etc it’s actually really popular 😭

I would recommend doing a little research on how Japan builds houses and spaces for people to live. This is honestly not unheard of or a bad idea.

Can’t wait for the Temu houses to roll in

If I'm not mistaken, they may be using the same material for the walls that are used for stand-alone "cold rooms" pretty much a pre insulated panel. A lot of motels in regional areas have units made of the same stuff as a cheaper option, usually for workers. They work pretty well.

12:15 why does he care about the couches when he’s not gonna live there? 😂

Honestly with rent being so expensive, I’d use an Amazon BOX to live in at this point

13:47 i live in a small college town and, according to airbnb, there are over 900 airbnbs in my town. meanwhile the college students are constantly struggling to find places to live that we can afford-i think there are maybe 10 places available to rent right now. i hate airbnbs so much, we’re being pushed out of our own town by tourists 😭

As someone who's dropped off and installed a couple of these, I can tell you Amazon is over charging. These get shipped in from China after being bought on Alibaba for about $4000.

Im just imagining our dystopian reality where everyone has plastic amazon houses and they all blow away immediately during a hurricane.

i love that the premise is amazon saw his tiktok about how he had nowhere to put his unfolding house, loved it, and gave him a bigger unfolding house

Dear all to clear up questions, Yes I have ask many tiny house builders over the years how the process works prior to 2020. Most tiny house builders they perfer land bought first, and foundation, with hookups and or off grid set up first prior to even putting an order in for a house but you can always add that in to the house later however it may cost more money to get a contractor and to the install. Unless you are moveable tiny which means you have your trailer and/ or hitch. However this looked land locked to me, not sure if this would be moveable after setup.

2:09 “for only the small price of 35 thousand dollars” is absolutely absurd

i thought the title said "bought a horse on amazon" and i thought you were gonna be bullying aspiring cowboys

that just pisses me off how that guy talked about how unlivable it was then immediately jumped to signing it up for airbnb... i hate this era of having to resort to making scummy money for a quick buck especially with scams and whatnot

The videos end was epic 😂😂😂😂 good watch bro just landed a nice sub

Last Airbnb I stayed in was in Peoria Illinois. I payed $12 a night for a room in a farmhouse that was being occupied by a family of 5, a husband and wife along with their 3 children. They had farm fresh milk and eggs with homemade bread one could use whenever, and if you wanted a hot breakfast all you had to do was let them know and they would make it and have it ready for you when you woke up. The room was very basic with no TV or anything and access to a private bathroom. It was absolutely one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had. You just have to do a little searching and read reviews and you can find some rad places.

Actually hearing someone saying they spent $26,000 on a house without even a second thought is so crazy to me. Like I can’t even buy a pack of gum without having to think twice. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The people yearn for the return of Sears kit homes

survived an earthquake that made prefab wooden or container houses and buildings a necessity. most of my school education was spent inside prefab container buildings and they are not optimal especially when its very hot or cold outside, its pretty baffling to see them paddled as a “livable and affordable option” so they can avoid fixing the housing market

I just realize eventually Cody and Danny are gonna be having play dates with their baby boys and they are gonna be best friends with the best sense of humor

I knew I liked Danny but hearing him get angry at Airbnb's and landlords confirms it. Based bro

The salon suggestion is a really good idea. People who have their own clients need a private space to do their business. It's way more expensive to rent a space in a salon.

I'm 6'3. I'd have a permanent hunch if I walked in this

Y'know, i feel like being short is really looking great for me right now.

The only thing I was thinking throughout most of this is that Amazon just keeps regurgitating ideas from other people and calling them original. These houses are just worse kit homes. Kit homes were popularized in the 20th century, and you could literally order one from a Sears catalogue, (or whatever your preferred catalogue of choice was, I just know about the Sears ones.) Which is nearly the exact same thing amazon is doing except that kit houses were made with better materials, and you can tell because it didn't take them eight hours to put up. With a skilled carpenter, you could have them up in a few weeks, or months if you wanted to DIY it. And the fact that most of them are still standing and fully functional as homes. Considering most were built anywhere from 1910 to 1950, that's pretty impressive to me. Then again, I am also biased. Literally the only reason I know about the Sears houses is because that's how my childhood home was built. My grandparents bought it from a Sears catalogue in 1934. Fucking just mail-ordered a home. (Still a fantastic house. We have had to update the plumbing because ceramic pipes are the devil, but that's pretty much the only really intense renovation we've had to do.) There sadly aren't any of the original companies still selling kit houses, and we can put that blame on tract house subdivisions and WW2. tl;dr fuck air bnb and amazon

Imagine renting an air bnb and showing up to see a plastic Amazon house

Drunk Amazon ordering nightmare.

I word for a company that makes offices out of shipping containers and theyre actually pretty comfy. They do put insulation in the walls so it keeps it pretty cool in the summer and warm in winter. Idk about these houses, but we definitely insulate.

i'm more pissed at the comment section than i am at that dude. like why do they act like scamming people and potentially putting them in danger is a "smart move"?

love how the warning where "people could get hurt" happens when he's trying to rent out his horrible home to other people on AirBnb, which makes me just imagine all the people who rent his airbnb are gonna be so mad about how they were ripped off that they beat the crap outta him

I haven’t been on this channel but the video title caught my eye. I love watching videos about tiny homes so i thought that was what this was going to be about. Mobile homes/ trailers and tiny homes are becoming more possible and feasible for families and have their own set of perks. I guess that’s not what he was looking for, but it’s an option for some! Tiny houses being purchased and shipped online isn’t as recent as it seems and it’s getting better and better.

There is a way to do this right. That way is not on Amazon with no thought. Prefab homes are not necessarily a bad deal. There are some really great prefab metal “barndominium” style houses that are a great option for people. However like others have said you have to find the land, get the permits, put in electrical and plumbing, possibly sewer treatment and culverts. You don’t just order something with no plan.

the groan i let out when he said he was gonna turn it into an airbnb was monstrous lmao

So, here in Germany, there are people who spend like 3-6 months out of the year living in camping parks. They buy or permanently rent a plot and treat it as their summer home. Some of them have pretty elaborate set-ups either for their trailer or pretty big "sheds" that basically reach tiny house status. Similarly, there are people who rent little parcels of land to garden on and usually they also build what's effectively a tiny house on it - not to permanently live in it, but to maybe spend a weekend in their little garden or to host garden parties and have somewhere to sit and use the loo and such. I feel like that's the kind of scenario these kinds of houses were originally meant for. It's a pretty elaborate camping set-up, but not really all that good as a permanent home you want to live in year-round. If that was more transparent, I'd be pretty fine with this. But the landlord mindset is really scary.

Daddy Gonzalez need to put up smth too remind us that we are Greg. The throw pillows, the letters, or just a huge picture of our king, Danny.

Just a note on the folding part it would not fold down on you when put up properly I have seen how they go together and they weight of the roof keeps the walls locked in and if I'm not mistaken they are secured some how bolts I think. Also they all fold out of that higher middle bit so easy to transfer but the hight of the middle is the max highest and the sides need to taper at 5% for water too flow off

Tiny houses have annoying laws... You can't just plop one of these wherever you want. Also are we just ignoring the fact this guy has a single credit card with at least $28k limit on it?? I don't think he's hurting for money and would need to live in this place 😂

What we need for housing is no landlords. There can only be a housing market if there's the threat of not having a home.

There are manufacture home companies that sell 1 bedroom homes for like 30k and you can actually pick out different floor plans and tiles and all that AND they actually work as a livable space like with electrical and stuff

My grandfather bought his house at sears in the 1950s. 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, even had a garage in the basement. This is nothing new.

15:38 as it stands, we have enough houses, 15.1 million empty homes, subtract our population of homeless people, we have 14.5 million empty homes left. We do have a problem and that is the commodification of housing

When I lived with my parents, my room was the only one in the house without proper insulation and it was TERRIBLE. Looking at those prefab houses on Amazon just gives me flashbacks to those days. I can just imagine you'll be freezing during the winter and boiling in the summer unless you're located in *just* the right area.
