I have always been very Leary of these but I would allow it here. I would love to use my land to test these. As family members get older and need help this would be great so they have their own space yet be here so I could help them so they don’t need to go to a nursing home

Dimensions on #1 36ft×7ft×7.5ft = 252sqft and 7.5ft high (Standard measurement format is Length×Width×Height) For future reference, very easy to calculate: Square Feet = Length feet × Width feet If product is showing inches, divide the inch measurement by 12 to get the feet measurement (12in = 1ft) Example: "120×120×96 inches" 10ft by 10ft and 8ft tall 10x10= 100sqft (If you do the math for this structure it comes out a few inches larger than what I said, but that's listed as "Product Dimensions" which means measured from the outside, and we don't know the exact thickness of wall/ceiling/floor so you have to shave a little off to estimate the actual interior space)

Agree. What I would do is take plans to an architect & craft something small but conventional. There are companies that will build all the panels in an enclosed environment then ship them to you on a truck & you can assemble that into your house in hours to a few days, but I think most of these won't hold up & I'm not sure the world needs 'fast houses' on top of fast food, fast fashion & fast / RTA (ready to assemble) furniture. None of the last 3 lasts very long & it all ends up in landfills so to me that's not a great 'solution' to our affordable housing mess.

It's wild to me they give all the measurements in inches & not feet. I know from looking at house plans from Europe that they do give measurements in centimeters & you divide by 100 to get the measurements in meters & ~39 inches is ~1 meter but you have to divide all those numbers by 12 to get the lengths & work out how big the houses are.

That 2nd option I saw at a tiny home show (it's actually the same as option 5)! Not that exact model, but they had their smallest unit (20x20) with the washroom in there and they made sure their models could do 4 seasons in Canada (R32 insulation i think). I was talking with the guy and he said they had to really really push for that from the manufacturer. The other thing, was they had one guy stack 2 units one above the other and pop some stairs in apparently. Hope they post pics of that one.

The first modular pull shaped white home: I would consider this for seed starting! This would be the perfect greenhouse area and like I said I would use it for a seed starting around the windows face and the center will be all of my house plants and a big huge sink and potting area and of course tons of shelves and bins for supplies. Of course unless you spend a ton of money greenhouses can come down in a big rain or a snowfall. This one would be much more durable. And if you go with a high tunnel, the plastic would have to be replaced every few years. Also if you don't have proper ventilation in a high tunnel you'll fry your plant babies!! Like I said perfect for a greenhouse.

Most of them are not legal as habitable structures in the US without extensive and expensive modification, and the photos are often incredibly deceptive about the scale. #3 is a great example of this. 110" tall? Look at the height of the roof, now tell me that's an 80" door. The average person would have to duck to enter that door if the roofline is at 110". In reality, by the time most of these are legally habitable structures, you could have designed and built a better home for the same money.

The size specs on that first model are in inches. Take the inches and divide by 12 to get feet. This translates to roughly 36 ft long by 7 ft wide by 7 ft high. If my thoughts are correct when calculating sq. Footage of a home, you just take length by width and don’t include height. That makes it : 252 sq. Ft. -ish.

That is the problem. Tiny homes are more like RVs than stick-built houses, in that they almost always decrease in price over time. It’s the land underneath a house that makes them increase in price over a few decades. And there is footage of the “hospital” China supposedly built in 10 days…….after a few months of use. (They were actually quarantine barracks, not an actual Western-style hospital). The quarantine barracks were built pre-fab buildings meant to be constructed quickly, and the footage shows water pouring in the roof when it rains overflowing toilets, people saying the buildings are poorly insulated so hot in summer and cold in winter, etc.

Yeah….that is the hard part. Most of us live in suburbia, and you kind of need a plot of land in a more rural, less strictly zoned area for these. There are a few exceptions, with some RV parks becoming tiny home villages instead, where you can rent a space for smaller, “movable” homes. And these tiny homes are like RVs….not like a stick built house….in that they only depreciate over time, unless you own the land underneath it. It is the land underneath homes that causes them to increase in price over decades.

I have 60 acres on the southern Oregon coast where you are welcome to test whichever one you choose. I personally love the expandable last one, as transporting it across my single lane private bridge to the site would be easier. I have several electrical and water hookups for rvs, and I can see this working as a little vacation weekend rental for supplemental income. Thanks for looking at these!💕

You would want to find out who makes it & if possible go tour one before you buy. I have seen something similar to the 1st house from a company called Massimo in or near Houston Texas (they just started selling them if I'm right about the maker the 1st house is either in China or there might be some made or finished in Texas). For the cost of a trip down there you might avoid making a major mistake.

The "mountain mobile" tiny home on a trailer is known as a "Park Model Chalet" Also my bery small township has a covenant that requires any new home build must have an attatched garage. Jard stop. No accessory structures like pole sheds or detached garages, RV garages, etc can ne built before a permanent dwelling. Keeps our tax base livable & prevents the temporary messes...

Love #5, They are on display here in NE Mississippi Wood Sales; It looks perfect for a quick easy home! You can customize it for many needs. They can't keep enough of them in stock. There is also a building half this size with a sliding glass door on the end 👍🏼. Me, I'd buy some lumber and have a carpenter build me one. I believe it would be sturdier, (🌪️ in case if storms here in MS.) and more affordable. To each their own. Thanks for the expert information Miss Kristina 🙋🏼‍♂️

The U.S. has truly declared war on affordable housing, hasn't it. #5 7x20? 10k max and for same reasons as #2 Sigh...ok, back to researching on designing and building my own home.

We have 3 acres in the county, not city. We’ve cleared a half acre spot…… I need to go talk to the County…….I was gonna buy an Old Hickory shed to my specs at 32x12 they want$32k. But I like the idea of the steel, & I can design it……..😁👍🏻

If the house is listed "flat pack" it's not pre built. You have to assemble. It may come with all the listed parts. But not pre-built. The errors in the text descriptions are not scammers misspelling. They are translation errors from Chinese to English. The description headers may use terms correctly, just not American terms. They are selling to other countries who may not have the same rules as the US when using the term "modular" for example.

If you're actually serious about buying one for land owners to test out, we have a family cabin property in Manitoba Canada for #5 (maybe #3). Ideal for snow load testing, winterizing testing. We know engineers that would figure things out for fun. My brother owns a flat roofing company, which would make him uniquely positioned to beef it up as necessary. My sons do sewer and water hook up for a living, so they'd be well suited to weigh in on how well it lends itself to that (with one of my sons also owning a water treatment company so plumbing it in is no problem).

#4-Mountain (RV/Traier Home) Miss Kristina, you could easily install lightweight (like aluminum) ramos along the sides when parked. Carry attach them under the trailer when traveling. We buy the ramps at hardware and sports vehicle stores. Of course folks should have some sort of guardrails ( don't know how to go about that; maybe attach handrail to house)?
