Being Mobile
Many tiny home designs are mobile homes. You can take it anywhere you like. It will be quite easy to move to a new city or just to take it on the road to explore. Imagine going on vacation and not having to pack!
If you are going on the road or moving off the grid, the energy system and plumbing will need to accommodate that lifestyle. Solar panels and rainwater collectors will need to be added to the design.
Price
Tiny homes are priced for anyone on a budget. The price will vary on the size and the customizations need. It will also be dependent on whether you are a do-it-yourselfer and can help with some of the work.
If you are on the grid with your tiny house, this will mean lower utility bills. You won’t have as many appliances and you won’t have to use as much energy when maintaining the temperature of the home.
