Orlando, Florida (PRWEB) December 12, 2012

Tumbleweed Tiny House Company is hosting a workshop designed to help individuals realize a dream of affordable housing. The two day event takes place in Orlando, Florida on January 26-27 of 2013. Jay Shafer is the featured speaker. Shafer has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN’s 360 with Anderson Cooper, and in Time Magazine. Tickets for the Orlando Tiny House Workshop are available online.

Tumbleweed Tiny House Company has set up several events around the US, such as the one in Orlando,Florida, as an introduction to the Tiny House Movement. The January 26-27th workshop offers people a chance to meet with Jay Shafer and ask a series of questions about how to build a house and the small house movement. Shafer‘s focus will be to walk the audience through the building process; from laying the foundation to setting the roof on a Tiny Home. Shafer will also speak candidly about his personal experiences as a Tiny Home owner, which includes using a composting toilet, driving his house around the country, and finding free places to live. These workshops are a perfect way to learn about building one’s own home and down-sizing in a supersized culture.

“For decades corporations like those from the housing, insurance and lumber industries (under the banner of the International Code Council and state) have maintained that our houses need to be of a certain size to be legal. These mandatory consumption laws ensure a vibrant economy, as they increase spending on virtually everything- from heating fuel and property taxes to more trips to Ikea. While the program has been benefiting Corporate America for a long time, now, it wasn’t until just recently that our banks realized its full potential,” says Jay Shafer on why Americans should consider owning a Tiny Home. “It turns out that when a bank tacks even larger house-size requirements onto those already imposed, they can get people to buy more house than they can afford, then, kick them out when they’re unable to make payments. It’s a win-win for banks at the front and the back end of the deal.”

The workshops are a great way for people to learn how to build a home, gain a comprehensive understanding of the Tiny House Movement, or consider why a Tiny Home is a sound investment – even as a second home! As seen with prior events, Jay Shafer expects a wide demographic of people to attend.

Fast-Growing Internet Firm and Major Insurance Company Partner to Offer Florida Residents Lower Home Insurance Rates

Fast-Growing Internet Firm and Major Insurance Company Partner to Offer Florida Residents Lower Home Insurance Rates











Clinton Township, MI (Vocus) June 12, 2009

With the crisis in the Florida Property Insurance market looming and just 10 days into hurricane season, leading comparison shopping site RateElert.com has added Ark Royal and ASI Underwriters to its growing network of insurance providers to help Florida Homeowners shop for and compare Home Insurance Rates with a click of a mouse.

Experts agree the best way to save money on Home Insurance is to shop around for the best deal. However, for most Florida property owners this task is not as easy as it seems. With State Farm’s announcement to discontinue insuring homes in Florida and plans to cancel the home insurance coverage for over 1,500,000 policyholders, residents are now faced with a tough challenge unlike any other part of the country.

“Not all the time it’s about finding the cheapest rate for Florida residents, sometimes we are happy to just find a company willing to insure them period. Adding Ark Royal and ASI Underwriters to the RateElert platfom will offer our users another opportunity to find the best rate,” said Brian Hannigan, spokesman for RateElert.com.

By completing a simple no-obligation form on RateElert.com with information about their home, Florida property owners will be matched in real-time with up to 5 different insurance companies who can provide them coverage at affordable rates in less than 10 minutes. This time saving application saves consumers from having to call over 20 different carriers just to find if they will insure their home and at what rate.

Some Florida insurance companies only do business in certain parts of the state, so utilizing a free matching service like RateElert will help residents cut through the red tape in finding the lowest Home Insurance rate possible in their local area.

At a time of rising prices and economic uncertainty, many consumers are looking for innovative ways to hold on to their cash. Since its launch into the state of Florida last month, RateElert.com has reported matching over 4,900 residents with affordable home insurance providers and expects that number to reach over 50,000 by year end.
