They Turned An Old Food Truck Into A Tiny Home

They Turned An Old Food Truck Into A Tiny Home. But Wait Till You See What’s Inside…
 
My favorite thing about Airbnb isn’t just its affordability. Instead, it’s the exposure it gives me to the quirky little places people live.
Whether it’s a roma wagon caravan or a house in a cave, I think it goes to show that with a little love and care, you can make a home anywhere.

Alameda magazine how much house can you afford article

East Bay real estate is exciting but more than a little bit agitating at the moment. In neighborhoods with limited inventory, including Alameda, Piedmont, and many parts of Oakland and Berkeley, all-cash offers are common. And be prepared to drop all contingencies and bone up on your persuasive writing skills to seal the deal.
“I sold a Victorian fixer in the East End and had 10 offers, top three all cash,” said Alameda-based real estate agent Philip Kaake of Kaake Properties. “Listed for $529,000 and sold for $637,000, no contingencies. Interesting, I had a higher offer from some people who had to move money from China, but no love letter, and the sellers chose next highest (with a counter offer) because they had this beautiful love letter. It was a family home, so passing it on to the right people meant a lot to them.”
Condos are hot, too, with Oakland buyers looking to MacArthur BART and West Oakland for quick commutes to San Francisco.
