When you retire, your financial situation becomes instantly more precarious. Few of us can hope to have a pension large enough to support our retirement needs. Therefore, it’s always good to try to find a side hustle. However, not everything works as well. Luckily for one woman she’s found a profitable–and cute–solution.

The Tiny House Rental Retirement Plan

Let’s say you wanted to retire off the funds from renting out tiny houses. How would you even begin? Well, looking at this retiree’s strategy, maybe we can pick up a few tricks.

The Relatives

If you’re a retiree, you’re probably at least in your mid-fifties, if not older. Unfortunately, while some of us can keep up with the marketing, social media presence, and other considerations of renting out tiny houses, some of us will be completely lost. That’s where a supportive younger relative comes in.

In Atlanta, Georgia, the retiree in question has not one tiny house, but two. They’re built in her backyard, but the management mostly falls to her daughter, Brandi. She says that she “built these to support my elderly mom who lives in the main house.” It sounds then like the retiree, unnamed in the article, might actually have little to do with managing the business, leaving her free to enjoy her retirement.

The Marketing

Sadly, even if you have the greatest product in the world, it won’t matter if nobody knows about it. Luckily, in the internet age, marketing is easier than ever.

The tiny houses in our retiree’s backyard have their own website–Field Trip ATL. (You might notice the contact email is under daughter Brandi’s name–chalk up another for the benefits of relatives!) The website not only has photo galleries of both houses, it has a list of places to eat, drink, and tour while you’re in the area. Strategically, the website mentions how conveniently located these tiny houses are to the action. 

Having other websites support you helps. Travel website Narcity ran an article in November 2019 (before completion of the second house). Titled “You Can Stay At This Adorable Atlanta Tiny Home For Less Than $25 Per Person A Night,” it certainly makes this vacation destination seem affordable and worthwhile. (2, 3)

The Reviews

Field Trip ATL has a review section on their site, where you can read about past guests. As savvy consumers, most of us know to check independent review sites before we book. Still, reading happy reviews from satisfied consumers is likely to put us in a positive frame of mind. “If you haven’t already booked this trip…you should do so ASAP. I’m already planning another trip back,” says one reviewer. (2)

The Tiny House Itself

Renting out a tiny house does you no good if you don’t actually have a tiny house. The houses of Field Trip Atlanta were designed by Tru Form Tiny, an Oregon-based company. They build both tiny homes and travel trailers, and their travel trailers even have the opportunity to get instant quotes on some standard customizations. “Have questions” asks their pop-out chat box. “I’m happy to help.  We love talking tiny houses, and hopefully can answer your questions.” (4)
