I can feel their pain, but happy to see they are holding strong to their mana still. I use a management company and they handle the cleaning and coordinating with renters. The company also helps you get your property ready by finding furniture. It's the only way to really make my rental units generate passive income. I walked around a lot and was able to see the different layouts of the tiny houses. These places need a lot of space so you can find similar stores in rural areas.
We like to call our tiny house "The Cottage" but sometimes we will change how we describe the location or decor to keep things fresh. After delivery, the tiny house was ready to be rented within 10 days. That's when I transitioned to tiny houses, they were the best way for me to make money without having to sacrifice my own space. Tipuna means ancestor and many ancestral meeting houses are named after one of the tribe’s principal ancestors or a significant historical event. The corner stone of the tribal society a huge amount of respect is shown to the construction of the building.

But even in my second home, I rented out a room as an Airbnb. Steph Douglass is the co-founder of Open House Austin, an education-focused real estate brokerage. If you are visiting Whakatāne, or already live here and wish to experience our awesome cycle tracks and trails, then get hold of Richard. Yes, it was definitely refreshing to hear the wonderful end to the story of the house. After our one hour experience in Mataatua Wharenui we are invited to join our guide Harry for the Kai.
But I get to live in my house mortgage-free, which is huge, and it makes me feel really awesome and powerful to not have a giant payment to worry about. My mom actually works at the management company I use, but I recommend using a management company that specializes in short-term rentals. It's not cheap to use one, but to me, it's totally worth it because I barely have to do any real work.

Lovingly restored by the late Ngāti Awa master carver Te Hau o Te Rangi Tutua and his team of his, it took another 15 years before the house was restored to its former glory. Left in storage beneath the floors of the Victoria & Albert Museum for over 30 years its return was finally negotiated by the New Zealand government in 1925. Another seventy years past before the house was finally returned to the Ngāti Awa people. The murders are believed to have been committed between 3 a.m. "I believe that the killer was inside the house already," death row inmate William Noguera said during the interview, which aired on Mains' YouTube channel, Unsolved No More. "I believe that the person was already in the house when the kids arrived...he took advantage that they were not home."
This story is amazing and nearly unbelievable, and you need to hear it told. You will marvel at the intricacy of the carved representations, and you will be doubly amazed as the Legends unfold in lights.

So I decided to rent out part of my house to a roommate, and I've used real estate to generate income for myself ever since. I bought my first house in 2013 in Austin, Texas when I was just 24-years-old. I didn't think I would ever buy another one, but now I own 29 rental units.
I bought a pre-built, fully finished tiny house from a local place called Creative Living Solutions for about $89,000 which included delivery and tie-down fees . For example, the tiny house in my yard completely pays the mortgage for the home my fiance and I live in. After more than 130 years away, New Zealand's only repatriated and most-travelled Māori meeting house, Mataatua Wharenui, has come home. It stands once again as the unifying soul of the Ngāti Awa, one of the Māori tribes of the Bay of Plenty. Hi JR, It’s so great to hear that this piece resonates so clearly with you.

Shoot me an email or say "Hello" on Instagram @WanderlustCharli. Thanks for the insight into this piece of Maori culture. How strange that the house wouldn’t stay put in NZ to begin with. I have to admit I had no idea how to pronounce a lot of the words we encountered here but the guides were great and really made sure they educated us on the correct pronunciation. Cloud Atlas is on my reading list so thanks for the reminder. I have to say it was really inspiring to learn how the tribe have fought for the return of Mataatua.
The tiny house came with almost everything — countertops, a fridge, and a microwave. The only things we had to get done were plumbing and electrical. So we added RV hookups to the back of our lot, behind our house, and hooked up the tiny home. We also skirted the tiny house, to cover the cinder blocks and wheels. All of these extras cost us about $10,000 more which we took from our savings.
As a Kiwi, it’s interesting to see this all from the perspective of a tourist. Thanks Nicole, it was a fascinating topic to cover and I’m pleased we had the opportunity to visit. Located in the town of Whakatane Mataatua, Te Manuka Tutahi welcomes guests 7 days a week. A poignant example of just how little our European heritage is benefiting the lives of the Ngāti Awa people.
When I bought my first house, I was teaching fourth-grade math and didn't have a very high income — I started at $43,000 and ended my 7-year-career at about $57,000 a year. Thanks to the enthusiasm of the members of the house my understanding of Māori culture has been elevated, and my respect for their heritage ignited. Surrounded by the 100 year old craftsmanship of the house I close my eyes and am transported deep into the heritage of the tribe.
The tale of how it became ‘the house that came home’ is also the story of the restoration of the Ngāti Awa people’s iwi after its disruption following European settlement. Eventually the Otago Museum agreed to return the house, and Mataatua was restored and opened to the public in 2011. Partnering with others is another way to make home-buying more affordable.
She bought and rents out a tiny house in her yard to pay for her mortgage. Steph Douglass owns 29 rental units and is the co-founder of an Austin real estate brokerage. Your journey at Mataatua will ignite the soul within as you discover the extraordinary story of the house that has travelled through time.
The last of the traditional welcome protocols it is an offering of food that signifies the Ngāti Awa people’s acceptance of their guests. The combination of light and sound are an emotive mix that evokes a connection to the history of the beautiful structure that surrounds me. As we get closer to the structure the men of the house begin the haka pohiri, a display of song and movement, they confirm the purpose of the visit to the ancestors of the house. The history of each individual tribal group is kept alive through Whakapapa, a form of genealogy that traces ancestral lines, birth rights and the Māori creation story.
We love immersing ourselves in the heritage of the cultures we visit and find it is always such an eye opening experience. The past is always tainted with the actions of those who choose to discriminate, it was wonderful to see such a positive end to the journey of Mataatua. Over the course of the next century the house was erected inside out exposing the delicate spiritual carvings to the elements on more than one occasion.
