r/tinyhomes

I’m getting pretty close to pulling the trigger but the more research I do, the harder it gets to tell which companies are actually solid long-term. We all thought tumbleweed was the real deal for the longest time...

Point is a lot of them look great online.

What should I specifically be asking about before putting down a deposit?

Things I’ve started paying attention to: water intrusion/leak, insulation, warranty stuff and after sales support, obvs build quality and materials used.

Do you have your companies I should include in my list of top 3?

Hi all, I am 20F and wanting to move out but the housing prices are so expensive. I currently live with my parents on acreage. I have 60k saved up and me and my parents were thinking of me buying a tiny home and putting it up the back of our yard giving me the freedom I want. The only issue I am thinking is water and electricity. Is it worth setting up an off grid system or getting a line/ plumbing. I would be approximately 1-2 acres away from main house? Idk if this is a stupid question I'm just not sure if j should just go and rent or if this is better 😂

So my partner and I have been looking into building our own tiny home/off grid home. Our state (AZ) requires a lot of inspections and permits in order to build a home. Does any one else have experience building a Tiny home or home in general in AZ and let me know if there were a lot of hoops you had to go through and if it was super expensive for all the inspections.

I am also interested in experiences in other states as we are considering moving to another state that has easier regulations for first time home builders.
