I'm very interested in purchasing a small home, however where I live the land alone is out of budget. I'm curious what areas it would be feasible to purchase a small 2 bedroom home under $50k?

As title says we have a spare bedroom in our home that is where my son keeps all his toys and stuff so he can have his bedroom for sleeping, studying and reading. I was looking into either a futon, day bed, or a fold out bed like this sleeper ottoman from Costco. We already use a ton of storage cubes on the walls from Target for his toys and Lego and would like to find something that is multifunctional instead of just a fold up mattress in the corner.

i live in a really small house and my sofa gets used for everything ….it’s the couch ,the dining chair and sometimes even the bed for guests . My last sofa wore out so fast from all the use….the cushions got flat and the fabric looked terrible.

i recently got a modular sofa from rovelab because it’s supposed to be better for wear and tear and easier to clean but now i’m nervous about messing it up too fast. Does anyone have tips for keeping a sofa in good shape ? when you use it for everything in a small space ?how do you stop it from wearing out too quickly?

My husband and I just bought our first home, which is 1,015 sq. feet. We have about 30 pairs of shoes total, and I'm looking for a way to both easily access them and not take up much space. I've thought about shoe storage benches, but I'm open to any ideas and product suggestions! Bonus points for thrifty ideas because #housepoor. ;)

(So happy to have found this community! :waves at everyone furiously: haha)

Edit: My preference would be to have storage by the front door.

Not exactly a tiny room, but with my desk and bed I have very little floor space, and I hate that as there's no room to do anything. I've been sleeping on the floor (carpet) to see if I could do it and it's not so bad but I do definitely miss having somewhere I can lounge when needed.

I'm fine with something that can easily be folded up when needed. For this reason I was looking at pull-out or sleeper sofas but I'm not too sure as I see conflicting reviews about how comfortable they actually are. I prefer a much firmer mattress than most as well. I'm a single person so it doesn't need to be anything massive. My last bed was a queen and it was definitely way too big for my space.

I was also looking into a roll-up Japanese style futon but those seem exorbitantly expensive when I'm not sure if I'd even be comfortable with one. Plus those are usually intended to be used on tatami, or at least floors harder than carpet.

What do you guys think?

I live in a studio apartment and i desperately need a new more comfortable loveseat that you can spend hours in thats also in the <$300 range durability, aesthetics, and pretty much all other factors other than these two are secondary

Does anyone have any good recommendations that meet those two criteria?

Hi everyone! I have already talked to my planning department and I am good to go there. I am allowed to build an ADU up to 750sq ft and max 12ft high. This will be going in my mom’s backyard so I can be close to her with her aging and health issues.

My question is can I buy an ADU that is already built and have it shipped and dropped in instead of building one? I apologize if I sound naive this is all new to me and very overwhelming! I am in Florida if that helps. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys - I need some help.

My family & I are downsizing - mainly to save costs, our lease is up, and life has changed.

We’re going from a 3/2 about 1600sq ft to a 3/1.5 about 1100sq ft.

My biggest concern is the one bath/shower for all of us. We’ve got my wife, me, 1yo, 7yo, 9yo & 10yo.

How the hell do we keep this shower together without trying to kill each other?
