8 Things You Don’t Know About Tiny Houses and Mobile Homes

Downsizing your living space to a tiny or mobile home is an excellent option for minimizing your life and accessing financial freedom. It is essential to learn some of the nuances that living small offers.

This blog post provides you with eight facts about tiny houses and mobile homes that you didn’t know before.

Mobile Homes Tend to Be Cheaper Than Tiny Homes

Despite being larger, mobile homes tend to be more affordable than tiny homes. Mobile homes run about $30-$40 per square foot. Tiny houses come in more shapes and styles than mobile homes, but the average cost per square foot is $100. Some tiny homes even begin as high as $300 per square foot.

Tiny Homes are Easier to Transport than Mobile Homes

While it may seem counterintuitive, tiny houses are easier to transport than mobile homes. Mobile homes are built for stationary living, where many tiny homes are created with towing capability in mind. Therefore, if you are considering a nomad lifestyle, a tiny house is generally easier to haul cross-country than a mobile home.

Heating and Cooling is Efficient

Primarily due to their size, heating and cooling tiny homes and mobile homes is quite efficient. As long as a tiny home is adequately insulated, keeping heat and cool it is cheap and straightforward.

In addition, mobile homes are built to meet Department of Housing and Urban Development code standards, so they arrive at the buyer with efficient heating and cooling built-in.

Tiny Homes are Easy to Renovate and Expand

Due to tiny homes’ unique shapes and aspects, they almost always fall out of the jurisdiction of government building codes. While it is often complicated to get building permits, expanding or renovating a tiny house is extremely easy.

Since you essentially do not have to meet specific expansion codes, renovating your tiny home allows for much more creative liberty than traditional or mobile homes.

Mobile Homes can be Built in a Week

25% of homes in the United States are manufactured. This means that getting your mobile home in livable condition can occur in as short as a week. Mobile homes are created in assembly lines and can be produced exceptionally quickly.

Tiny homes generally need about a month to complete. Both options are much faster than an average American home.

Tiny Homes are Helping Fight Homelessness

It seems like a new tiny home community is popping up each day to help fight homelessness. Basic tiny homes can be created cheaply and offer safety, stability, and privacy that homeless shelters just can not provide. As a result, tiny houses are becoming an invaluable resource for folks in need of transitional housing.

These Homes are More Environmentally Friendly

Compared to constructing a traditional home, mobile homes and tiny houses have a minor impact on the environment. Their production is down to a science for mobile homes, so there are very few wasted materials.

However, these homes were created initially as vacation homes, so they largely depend on gas for utilities. However, today’s builders are consciously working to make these homes more sustainable. On the other hand, tiny houses are known for their off-grid capabilities and green-living.

A recent study found that those living in tiny homes have an ecological footprint of about 9.6 acres. That is almost half the size of a traditional-sized home.

You Do Not Need a Mortgage for a Tiny House

One of the most appealing elements of tiny house living is the financial freedom from a locked-in 30-year mortgage. Since tiny homes are so nuanced, buying a tiny home outright is more accessible than committing to a multi-year payment plan.

As a result, many people find the extreme financial freedom that allows them to travel more and enjoy luxuries that would otherwise be impossible for them.

Tiny houses and mobile home purchases are rising, with no signs of slowing down. With a continued global awareness for sustainability, constructors of both tiny houses and mobile homes are continually looking for ways to minimize their eco-footprints.

If you are looking for a way to simplify your life, lower your environmental impact, and reach financial freedom, investing in a tiny house or mobile home is an excellent solution.
