Within just a month, the first two ADUs were sold. This led Colton to quit his marketing job and fully commit to the tiny home business. And thus, Anchored Tiny Homes was born.Recognizing the potential of franchising, Anchored Tiny Homes developed a system that allows individuals to become franchisees and join the movement of providing affordable housing.&nbsp;“It feels good providing jobs for people and then, on the flip side, providing franchise options to franchisees,” Colton said. “You're actually changing people's generational lines, you're changing their ability to earn income.” Watch the full video above or on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsNhxpTk4Gs&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-story-behind-anchored-tiny-homes-2726161" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">YouTube</a>.&nbsp;
