What is a Tiny Home?

Mobile homes and tiny homes are excellent options for downsizing. They can both be customized to suit practically any need or style preference, and they’re also significantly cheaper than an average home. Another plus is that both home types are usually exempt from property taxes; however, the similarities stop there. 

The most critical difference between the two is their size. Tiny homes usually only comprise anywhere from 100 and 400 square feet meant to allow for a self-sufficient lifestyle. On the other hand, mobile homes have anywhere from 600 to 1300 square feet, allowing for a much more ample living space. 

Additionally, due to their larger size, mobile homes are subject to government and state regulations, where tiny houses are small enough to fly under the radar. This difference means that you can essentially do with tiny homes what you want.

Finally, despite a name that implies otherwise, mobility is not a key feature, even in small mobile homes. If you want to move your lodging, a tiny house is a better option: you can tow it wherever you want as long as you have a good trailer hitch and vehicle.
