Blog Post: Hope

Hope

It does not appear to be an easy task to start a new journey, when one is older and single.

When money is important and the world one knew seems upside down and in distress. 
I've been looking online at all types of information to get a sense for areas including even the one where I actually live.

Today, I discovered that the many towns and communities that I would be interested in starting a new journey, seem to have an enormous amount of overnight listings for homes and condos. Even where I live people are buying up or renting out homes and condos on one type of lodging service or another.
 
Is this the trend now? 

Families are bunking up in one home to make ends meet or just to have a roof over their head. Big homes for large extended families in the year 2022, which leaves small families, couples and singles without housing options.

Couples buying homes and then renting out the extra room or rooms on Airb&b for enough nights to pay the taxes and other expenses.
 
Can't even wrap my head around the whole process, especially during a pandemic. And if that is one's process to make ends meet, how about the family neighbors, whose neighbor is now is just an agency booking tourists.

I found a different direction. Been watching it for many years now. The mobile home venture started by TenFold of the UK really caught my attention. If you like the Transformers then this housing adventure is exciting. Of course, for me, this is "across the pond" but along comes Boxabl in the USA.
 
I find them interesting and pursuing learning more about this young company. 
This is a game changer for housing on many levels. Still gathering information and all the possibilities.
