Ansel has turned his backyard into a thriving business! How? He parked two Tiny Homes on his property, converted his garage into a luxury modern studio, and listed all three gorgeous spaces as short-term rentals. The business generates about $6k a month, which covers his mortgage, living expenses, and then some!

He did an amazing job with his tiny airbnb's!! I love almost the live plants as well, bringing the outdoors in, and it gives that cozy home vibe!!

Omg, I remember him! I live in the Bay Area, and if I remember correctly, I saw him on the news. He was talking about his tiny home, how he AirBnb’s it out and how this was his main income now. I’ve loved tiny homes for a while, and I remember telling my husband about “the guy on the news who AirBnB’s a tiny home out of his backyard, and pays his mortgage with the money he makes.” (That’s pretty freaking impressive, because we live in a very expensive area) l. I didn’t realize he has 2 tiny homes, and a converted garage! SO cool, and smart. Also, each one was so unique, and different. Awesome video!

You are such a hard worker with such a vision and so much initiative! I love the look of what you've done inside each space. My first thought is that I'd call you an entrepreneur who has interior design skills! You're very artistic within your homes! Since you mentioned that you loved the tiny home on wheels and could live in it, I wondered if you could maximize your profit by living in that tiny house. You could jazz up your 800+ square ft home, as you have the others, and then rent it out for an even higher price. Last, I agree that some landscaping would finish the aesthetic, when/if you have the extra cash flow. Great video! Awesome man with an awesome laugh!

The only concern I ever have is the lack of ventilation for cooking. You’re never pumping the oils, the grease, the food smells out of the house. And without a throat cleaning on even a weekly or monthly basis, the buildup gets so sticky. It’s extremely hard to remove.
