Precious Price, a 26-year-old homeowner from Atlanta, Georgia, came up with a clever plan to avoid paying rent or a mortgage during the pandemic by building a “luxury tiny home” in her backyard. After the pandemic hit, the bookings for the spare rooms she would usually rent out dried up, so she decided to fully rent out her main home and build a tiny home for herself.
Precious purchased a prefabricated shed and hired a contracting team to lay a concrete foundation. She then painted the walls a light blue and added rustic touches to create a light and airy feel. Inside, the tiny home features a queen-sized mattress in the loft, a daybed that doubles as a couch on the main floor, a full bathroom, kitchen, and breakfast nook.
To build the tiny home, Precious applied for all the necessary permits, including building, electrical, and plumbing. She rented out her main home during the build and rented a room in her neighbor’s home to save as much money as possible. Once the tiny home was complete, she initially rented it out on Airbnb to start paying off the costs before moving in permanently at the start of 2022.
