With prices lower than a normal size home, tiny house owners may think they’re getting quite the bargain. But you’ll need to consider hidden costs and other factors before you downsize for a deal. Show
DIY Tiny Home ExpensesWhile many people decide to build their own tiny house, the costs of leaving a job to do it can actually be more expensive. Even if you decide to keep your full-time job and build outside of your 9 – 5, you could be sacrificing your work-life balance or wasting time you could be spending on a side hustle to earn extra money. You’ll want to consider the costs of human error, too. If you are not a skilled builder, even one mistake could cost you extra time and money. It might be worthwhile to hire a tiny-home builder who has expertise in building efficient dwelling units. Zoning LawsDepending on where you live, you’ll have to follow the local zoning laws. These laws prevent homeowners from putting their tiny house wherever they want without paying for it. For example, tiny houses cannot be placed on a friend or family member’s land for free. Several tiny house communities have organized in pockets of the country without zoning restrictions. Often, these micro communities will offer communal spaces like firepits, fitness centers or outdoor picnic tables to accommodate eco-conscious mindsets. Building Permits And CodesYou will most likely need a building permit to construct your new home according to local building codes, as well as to legally occupy your tiny home. Before you build, you should refer to Appendix Q, a uniform set of standards for constructing mini homes. However, some codes haven’t been modified for tiny houses, so you may need to consider the cost of hiring a contractor or tiny house builder who is familiar with the appropriate codes. At the very least, you may need to hire an electrician to ensure that electrical components are safely installed so that they don’t pose a fire hazard or electrocution risk. This also applies if you’re converting an existing structure, such as a shipping container, into a tiny home. UtilitiesTo have a livable space, you’ll have to meet some basic needs with utilities like water and electricity. Depending on the location of your tiny home, you may need to hook utilities up to a water line, an outlet and a city sewer or a septic tank. If your house is located off-grid – meaning there’s no access to utility sources – you may need to collect rainwater or dig a well, use residential solar panels and install a septic system. Wherever the location of your home, utility hook-ups can be an expensive part of a tiny house. Tiny Home InsuranceHow your tiny home is built will determine what type of insurance you’ll need. If your tiny home stands on a permanent foundation, you’ll probably get mobile home insurance. If your tiny house is built on a trailer or converted from a van, you’ll most likely qualify for RV insurance for your small home on wheels. Financing ObstaclesMost tiny homes will not qualify for a traditional mortgage, so owners either pay cash out of pocket or take out a personal loan to pay for their home. Whether your mini house is manufactured as an RV or is converted, like a van, be sure to look into reclassifying your home as an RV with your local DMV. An RV classification opens up some RV loan options, which will typically have lower interest rates and longer loan terms than a personal loan. Tiny House Trailer CostsIf you’re planning to build a portable tiny house, you may need to factor in how much a trailer for a tiny house is going to cost. The average cost of a new or custom-made tiny house trailer may range from about $2,500 – $10,000 plus shipping or delivery fees. StorageIf you can’t downsize your life and all of your things to fit your new lifestyle and home, you may have to rent a storage unit to hold it all. Resale ValueTiny houses are not guaranteed to appreciate the way a regular home will. In fact, tiny homes can actually depreciate, especially if it’s customized to your wants and needs. Tiny homes, like other examples of alternative housing, also fall into a very niche market, so it may be harder to sell your home. Several counties in Missouri don’t have zoning or building codes, which means Missouri is the place to be for tiny house living! Be careful, though, with the cities, as in a few Missouri cities tiny houses are illegal.  Whatever reason you may have for veering in the tiny house living direction, why not take a look at some amazing tiny homes on sale in Missouri right now. Article Quick Links:
