So, you’ve got a tiny home... now what? Whether you’re choosing this new space for personal use or you’re planning to capitalize on it, the options are yours to decide. You could rent the space to vacationers, you could flip it and sell for a profit, or you could simply choose to enjoy it on your own. There’s no wrong way to utilize your tiny home.
These types of spaces are good for general living in all stages of life. Making use of a tiny home as college housing can cut down costs significantly without sacrificing comfort depending on where you’re attending school. Tiny homes can also be excellent options for empty nesters that don’t need as much square footage as they used to and want to get away to a simpler way of living. Some people even decide on a tiny home as their starter family home.
If you’re looking for a more lucrative use of your tiny home, you have plenty of options. Since tiny homes are typically such affordable investments, even if you’re building one from scratch, upgrading the property to establish a luxury environment can increase property value dramatically. These upgrades could consist of installing sleek, modern appliances, creative landscaping around the home itself, or even simply cleaning up an older home and staging it.
For a more sustainable option, you can also dress up your tiny home and make it available to rent. If you’re choosing this option, you’ll want to ensure that your interior decor provides a warm and comfortable environment for the guests staying in your home. As close to home as you can make it feel, the better stay vacationers will have in your home. Also, in this day and age, Wi-Fi is a must, especially if the getaway you’re providing is more secluded.
Different rental programs are available to help you get started, but it can require a lot of maintenance on your end. Some communities offer property management services where they’ll offer regular cleaning and booking of your property so that all you have to do is sit back, relax and rake in the revenue.
All in all, there’s no wrong way to use your tiny home and you are the only one that can make that decision. While tiny homes are excellent living accommodations for people in all stages of life, they also have a lot of potential for lucrative investment in properties. Whether you’re looking for an occasional vacation home or a steady cash flow, tiny homes are becoming an increasingly popular option for those looking to invest.
