Tiny homes are generally 100-400 square feet and cost anywhere from $20,000 – $50,000. Although some make tiny homes for much less, especially after remodeling an old vehicle, like an RV.
The tiny home movement has gotten a lot more attention after the financial crisis hit in 2008. Some needed to downsize their homes while others have had to make accommodations for additional family members moving in after having difficulty making ends meet.
Still, others simply wish to spend their money in different parts of their lives rather than on living accommodations. The majority Americans spend 1/3 to 1/2 of their income for a home, which translates to working 15 years over your lifetime. 68% of tiny home owners have no mortgage which frees up money for other interests.
One major consideration of tiny homes is zoning laws. Make sure that you fully understand what is legal in your area.
Here are some videos of different tiny homes with price ranges between $3000 – $45,000.

$#%&!@*ty idea guys. I can tell you that most of the costs of building a home are the kitchen and bathroom. If your having those 2 rooms in your house build the rest.
If you dont want a kitchen or bathroom just live in a shipping cargo container or a semi trailor or something like that

Saw the documentary on Netflix, it’s pretty interesting to build a small house since I experienced working in construction and knows how to build and fix things 🙂
Great job. I wish you good health and lots of happy times with your family. Love your home

Only if you plan on having no children would this ever be a good idea.
I would love to have a tiny home like this to live in and have a huge out building to do my crafts and charity work in .
That’s what I need,
My play house.
