Even though it might feel more difficult than ever to become a homeowner lately, a few non-traditional options are making it possible for some. TikTok user @hittaa_jeff recently shared a series of posts chronicling his decision to have an abode shipped to his current door .

He then proceeds to give a quick tour of the tiny home, noting how much he appreciates the front doors and the bathroom. But there are a few things that stand out as potential problems.
“Plastic fake marble, I don’t know…,” he says. “The ceilings are very low. I’m 5’8″, so they really are not that high,” while reaching up and easily touching them with his hand to demonstrate.

But despite the quick setup, Bryant admits the tiny home isn’t exactly move-in ready. He says that he wanted to wait to see the entire unit unfolded before picking a permanent parcel of land for it, explaining the delivery team will be able to help him move it once he’s made the purchase. In the meantime, he had the home set up someplace and was paying $150 per week to store it.
In the following update , Bryant goes on to answer some questions he’s received from his followers. He says that he doesn’t plan to move into the home himself, explaining that he intends to Airbnb the property instead.
He then says he thinks he’s found a property where he can place the unit and plans to add drywall to make the space more livable. He then estimates it should take two to three weeks—depending on getting “permits in hand” for electrical and plumbing hookups—before he can finalize the process.

While the process of scooping up a home online might look relatively straightforward, the process can sometimes be tricky . Local and state laws can dictate what kinds of houses can be built in some areas, including in Los Angeles, where Bryant is based. In this case, he will need inspections and full approval from the California Department of Housing and Community Development, Business Insider reports.
But ultimately, Bryant says the exercise wasn’t so much a compulsive purchase as it was a means of inspiration .
“As a person of color and a Gen Z, I want to inspire others to make wise decisions with their money,” Bryant told the New York Post , adding that he got the money to purchase the home from an inheritance he received from his late grandfather. “People my age are told that we can’t afford to purchase homes, but I’m proof that it is possible.”
