TikToker’s purchase of tiny home on Amazon sparks debate over affordable housing

In a surprising turn of events, a man claims to have ‘bought’ a house on Amazon, leaving social media abuzz with shock and divided opinions. TikToker Graim, known as @gilgra2023, shared his unconventional purchase of a “DOINUO Mobile Expandable Prefab House with Restroom, Outdoor” for $32,475.00, sparking discussions about the feasibility of affordable housing solutions.

Graim plans to place the tiny home on his land and eventually invest in multiple units for rental purposes, aiming for $750-800 a month in income. The TikToker suggests that Amazon offers some of the ‘best deals’ on mobile homes, showcasing options ranging from $20,000 to $32,475.

Social media users have expressed varied opinions on the purchase. While some deemed the cost outrageous, others saw potential utility, emphasizing the need for additional considerations like utility connections, sewage hookup, and water hookup. The unconventional approach has ignited discussions about the changing landscape of real estate and the potential for affordable housing solutions.

However, Graim’s experience hasn’t been entirely smooth. An update reveals that after successfully making the purchase, his card was charged seven times, leading to complications. Despite the setback, he remains determined to explore alternative avenues for acquiring a portable home.
