Budget Building: The Incredible $9995 Tiny House Shell Plus Kit
The financial burden of buying a bigger apartment or renting a commercial space deters a lot of people from realizing their dreams. You may want to ask your elderly parents or in-laws to live with you. Or, you might want to start your own business. But, the absence of space in your current living situation may dampen all your plans. However, luckily, you can buy affordable tiny house kits for under $10,000.
Tiny house manufacturers like BOSS offers tiny house shell plus kits for as low as $9995. The kit is sized 8.5’X20’ and it is quite spacious with a tall ceiling. If you are willing to spend a little more, they also have an 8.5’X26’ at a price tag of $12,995. The best apart about these shell plus kits is that they provide you with a ready-made skeleton of a building structure that you can customize to suit your specific needs. The kits are shipped in pre-cut panels that simply have to be assembled. Once assembled, you will get a finished steel structure complete with double-pane windows, lockable doors and a roof that has been put under snow load test and can withstand 30 lbs/sqft of snow. The interior will have to be designed and decorated by you. This gives you complete freedom to utilize the space according to your needs.
For instance, if you are planning to use the shell plus kit as a detached ADU for your elderly in-laws, you can design the space to accommodate a kitchen, a small dining space, a master bedroom and a bathroom. It can even have a small porch outside. You can either opt for the tiny house kits on foundation or if you have a used trailer, get one of those tiny house kits on wheels. Mount it on the trailer and let your in-laws enjoy their privacy in the ADU while you are always a minute away in the primary home.
What’s more, you ask? The tiny house shell plus kits are energy-efficient as they’re insulated and the kits include plumbing and electrical installation. So, the kits are already readied to move in right away. They are on-site building systems and you can ask a friend to help you finish the assembly within 3 to 4 days so that you can get your elderly parents comfortable quickly.
As aforementioned, you can purchase the kit for $9995, but if you are looking to save more, these are a few tips for you:
Opt to buy pre-loved furnishing to save money. You can also decorate the tiny home with things that you have lying around at home.
If you do not have a box of tools, you can ask your friends for it or see if the local store rents it out for a few days. Or, you can get second-hand tools.
Enquire about the financing options that most tiny home manufacturers offer. This can further help in lowering the financial burden on you.
