"Love the post, and all the comments! My wife and I have definitely dabbled in the thought of tiny house living, or living on a boat, or something like that, when the kids are all grown and moved out - but the show drives me crazy much for the same reason all the other house hunter shows do - they don't talk enough about the REAL parts of home buying. \r\n\r\nTiny houses can't be put just anywhere - most zoning laws prohibit homes that are small or mobile or off-grid, including parking them on your family's property as a dwelling. RV's and modular homes are much more practical when actually finding somewhere to put it.\r\n\r\nThe rest of the shows don't talk about being turned down on your offers (like when using non-conventional loans), or extreme seller's markets (like where we live, Hawaii), or the sheer time it can take to go through all these processes. \r\n\r\nSeriously, Joe Bob, you're crying about outdated tile, but I just want a house with a parking stall that doesn't cost me $20K a sq foot. Go fuck yourself, Joe Bob.\r\n\r\nSo, it's fun to fantasize that it's you searching for your dream closet-home, but then it's also fun to turn to the Walking Dead and imagine how easy it would be for zombies to tear into one. Cheers!"
