One of the aspirations for any millennial when he/she starts earning is to accumulate sufficient savings to become capable of purchasing a house. A TikTok user in the United States recently purchased a foldable house on Amazon worth $26,000 (Rs 21.3 lakh), a New York Post report said.

In a TikTok video, that was later shared by a user on X (formerly Twitter), Jeffrey Bryant, 23, from Los Angeles showed the features of the house and thanked the Amazon specialist for all the help.


Bryant said that he decided to buy the house after watching an unboxing video on YouTube, but there was a bigger intention behind the purchase as he wanted to help those in need of a house to use the accommodation as a place to stay.

"I saw this YouTuber unboxing his Amazon home and I ran to the website to get one, too," he told New York Post.

"I bought the tiny house to transform it into an AirBnB for displaced people or people facing homelessness," he added.

A report in The Metro said that the foldable house comprises of a kitchenette, a built-in shower and washroom, a bedroom and a living area.

The house needed to be connected to electricity and water mains but the steel structure can be built in a few hours by using 'minimal labour for unfolding' before it is decorated as per the owner's specifications.
