Let us start with the most nagging problemimmediately confronting all prospective tiny house owners findinga piece of real estate to park their respective tiny houses. Whileit is true that constructing a tiny house is generally lesscomplicated and a lot cheaper than building an average size home,it is really more difficult to find a cost-effective land with justthe right size to fit in the tiny house. Purchasing or renting abig place with lots of unneeded open spaces is definitely a bigno-no because all you want is just enough space to fit in your tinyhouse. Besides, it is not only going to cost you more but it alsodefeats the very purpose why you are part of this growing tinyhouse movement.

If you ponder on this point a bit, therereally is not much difference between looking for a big parcel ofland and searching for a small one to build a home. They are bothtough tasks to tackle and require the same amount of effort.However, it is actually much tougher for the first time tiny houseowners because of the additional challenges they need to addresslike for example if the micro homes they want to build dont meetthe minimum size requirements of the local housing codes. It is ahuge obstacle and finding a solution is going to be more difficultthan you think.

Nevertheless, there will always be answersto the challenges ahead and this is exactly what this bookprovides. Let us get started with a step by step approach tobuilding your Tiny House dream. Below is a general guideline on howto go about looking for an ideal parking space that is both safeand legal and how to get it done.

Step One Make up your mind where you wantto build your micro home.

People often consider only parcels of landwith price tags that they can afford when making their choices.Price is everything to them. Unfortunately, most of what they canafford are located in remote places places that are far fromtheir previous home bases and away from the amenities of big cityliving. The further away from a city the land is, the cheaper theprice tag is. If you disdain frequent visits from yourfriends and want to be left in peace most of the time, then acheap, remote parcel of land will just right for you.

However, you must also consider your commutetime going back and forth to your workplace as well as thefrequency of going to the nearest city to shop for your basicnecessities and other errands. For all you know, you may end upspending a lot of time on the road with your gasoline expensesburning a hole in your pocket.

It will be best to find a parcel of landthat is nearer your previous home base. That way, your old friendswill only be hours or even minutes away. Start by doing an initialsearch via the internet. A great tool to use to pick out a generallocation for your tiny house is Google Earth. You may also tryusing Microsoft Birds Eye as this can help you find a place thatsuits you best. Once you have picked out a general location, it istime to contact a local real estate agent to secure a listing ofproperties for sale in that particular area. Do not relysolely on the listing though. It would be better to get your bootson the ground and visit the property yourself. Google earth can bedeceiving while listings do not provide enough usefulinformation.

Do not forget too that the better placed theland is, the higher the price tag becomes. So, expect that if aplace has more trees, with available water, with paved roadsleading straight into the property, with a wonderful view, then itwill definitely cost more. However, dont lose hope because you mayjust get lucky and stumble upon a property that is ready for theauction block for unpaid taxes. You can get these properties atpennies to a dollar.

Step Two - Verify the property linesyourself.

Do not expect your realtors to know exactlywhere the boundaries of the property lie. They could have visitedthe property only once or they may not have visited it at all.Whatever the case, your realtor will not be a great help inidentifying the actual boundary lines of the property exceptsharing with you information that is already provided in thelisting. Again, you need to get your boots on the ground and do thescouting yourself.

Here is how to do it. Get your real estateagent to print copies of the parcel maps of the property. Thesewill have the measurements of the land as well as notes describingthe boundaries. Even the listing sheet your broker gave you shouldhave important landmark notes that you can easily refer to.
