How to shop for a tiny home
- Check the rules first. Zoning and permits decide what you can build or park. See how to choose a tiny home.
- Measure twice. In a tiny space, a few inches decide whether an appliance or piece of furniture fits.
- Check the power. Add up the watts of what you plan to run before choosing appliances or a battery.
- Plan for moisture. Ventilation matters more in a small, tight home than in a large one.
- Read reviews for what you care about, such as noise, build quality and whether it fits as described.
