Starting A Business: Everything You Need To Know

Hi everyone. I'm Amanda Buck. I decided to create this website because it has been my dream for years to start my own business. I will eventually make this a reality after I have saved up enough money to where I feel comfortable making this leap. But for now, I've been busy learning everything I can about starting a business. I learn best when I teach, so I have decided to create this blog where I will create posts I hope will be useful to business owners and those who are looking to start a business. Now let's get down to business!

The Next Big Fad In Tiny Houses: Tiny Houseboats!

You knew it was coming. From the moment the first few tiny houses on trailers came into being, you knew there had to be a water version of these little land homes. Boating enthusiasts could see it too, which is why many boat builders jumped on the wagon to make this little dream house version a reality. Here are a few things you need to know about tiny houseboats.

Most Are Only a Story and a Half High

For safety reasons, and to protect the tiny houseboats from toppling over sideways in the water, most are only a single story high. Some may have an extra half story, but this part of the tiny houseboat is usually the bedroom where you sleep. The main story/floor includes an open plan with a kitchen/dining room/living room area.

If you are interested in a tiny houseboat, it should not be much bigger than a thousand square feet. Otherwise, it is neither tiny, nor a houseboat! It is just a home floating on the water rather than parked on land.

Toilets and Plumbing on Houseboats Function Like a Camper's

Clearly, driving your home all over the country via the waterways is exciting. There is just one problem: plumbing. You cannot urinate or defecate overboard; there are laws against that.

Thankfully, you do not have to. Instead, the toileting and plumbing you install in your own tiny houseboat is akin to the system used in campers and motor coaches. There are tanks in the bottom hull of the boat that hold the waste, including waste from your kitchen sink. When they get full, you dock and find a way to empty them.

Like the Tiny Boats on Land, You Can Build Your Own

Just like their land counterparts, tiny houseboats can be built by you. You can purchase the plans, buy a basic barge-style boat or pontoon, and then follow the plans to build the tiny houseboat. The best part is you never have to pay for waterfront property because your home is actually on the water. The hundreds of thousands of dollars the landlubbers pay for waterfront property is never an expense for you.

Get Tired of Tooling Around in the Houseboat? Sell It!

Since tiny houseboats have just entered the market, they may still be very popular in three to five years. If the trend continues, you could easily sell your tiny houseboat if you get bored with it. Many real estate agents are starting to recognize that tiny houseboats are going to be every bit as popular as the tiny land homes. Ergo, you should be able to find an agent to help you sell your little house-on-water when the time comes.
