Common Questions

Buyer FAQs

Do I need to own land to buy a tiny home?

Yes, in most cases you'll need a place to put it — whether that's your own land, a tiny home community, or a rental lot. ReadyPermit AI can help you understand your options in your area.

How do I know a builder is legitimate?

Every builder on TinyHomies goes through a manual verification process. You can also read reviews from verified previous buyers before you ever reach out.

Can I get financing for a tiny home?

Financing options vary by lender and home type. Many of our builders work with specialty lenders who understand tiny homes. Ask your builder directly for their recommended partners.

What's the difference between a THOW and a foundation home?

A THOW (Tiny Home on Wheels) is mobile and typically classified as an RV. A foundation home is permanently installed and treated like traditional real estate. Permitting differs for each — ReadyPermit AI covers both.
