I think I could personally build ten little backyard houses in four years all by myself.

—edit—

Did some reading on this project and it seems they intended to do 10 units as a test run, just wondering if they get to keep them or if the homeowners have to buy them out?

> I am proud to share that all of Rent the Backyard’s customers either received their home from us or received a 100% refund.

That makes it sound like the customers are renting their back yards to third parties, and the company was just selling a product.

It’s very confusing, some of the times they were saying they rented out the backyard and provided the house (plus a lien) and other times were talking about people taking out a second mortgage to pay for the little houses.
