Help a buddy of mine out...
Hey all
So you may have heard about this whole "tiny homes" shambles...
https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/tiny-homes-maker-under-investigation-by-canada-border-services-police-sources-1.4293137
TL:DR - company offers tiny homes to people for significantly less than traditional homes, stresses that the homes are enviro-friendly etc etc.. People send tens of thousands of dollars, and <gasp> the company fucks them all over..
Well, a good buddy of mine - one of the nicest people I know - who bought into one of these since he and his family were in a position that these would work well, and he has a big heart / social conscience decided to buy in. He got hosed.
There's a go fund me for them.. they are literally out (so far) nearly 100k... sold a place to get into these tiny homes, and now living with their own children in an ironic swerve. I hope if you have some rungood / feels for this, you'll help them out.
Thanks in advance.

i know its unlikely they get their money back but i hope they get something from this gofundme
Serious question though....How could they be out 100k? These homes are generally very inexpensive. Did they pay up front for the entire home?
But you buy the phone from the one guy, and then pay for a lot to put it on as well... land is still expensive AFAIK.
