13 Innovative, Portable Homes for Travel or Leisure

From expanding campers to easy-to-assemble houses, these tiny homes will make you want to downsize. As space gets harder to find and house prices rise, people are looking to small homes as a solution to the housing crisis! These 13 designs prove that size does not matter. The Pros and Cons of a Tiny Home - The so-called “Tiny Home Movement” means different things for different people. Some homebuyers like the financial advantages of owning a tiny property. There’s less mortgage debt or often no housing debt at all. And reducing housing expenses lets people save for other goals, like retirement or a kid’s college education.

Others enjoy the “hassle free” factor of tiny homes, of not having to fix, maintain and clean as much, or not needing to furnish so many rooms.

And still other tiny home dwellers say their biggest joy is in the freedom they get – freedom from having so much stuff cluttering their homes; freedom from worrying about expensive housing bills; and even the freedom to pick up and travel whenever they want without being overly concerned about their homes while they are away.

In fact, some tiny homeowners actually travel with their homes, since some of these properties are mobile – and set on wheels.

Among the potential drawbacks, most tiny homes – by their very nature – don’t offer a spare bedroom for overnights guests. So if you have family or friends over for a visit, there probably won’t be a place for them to stay the night.

While many tiny home residents say they love their comfy quarters, there is a possibility, of course, of going stir crazy or feeling a bit too cramped. That can happen, though, in any almost any size home.

Lastly, there may be some financial or legal issues to address.

For example, you might have to get special approval from a city or town in order to build a tiny home, since many municipalities actually have a minimum building size, and a tiny home may not qualify.

Additionally, some banks may not offer mortgages on a tiny home, so you might need to come up with the cash to buy or build a tiny home outright.

Because tiny homes are so affordable – usually around $20,000 to $60,000, depending on location, size and other factors – most buyers do purchase or build these properties using cash, without a home loan, according to Fivecoat-Campbell.
