Dorothy lost her husband and needed to figure out her next steps. She was ready to retire completely but needed an option that allowed her to live off of social security. Incredible Tiny Homes and Incredible Tiny Properties allowed her to have a custom-built tiny house and an affordable $200/month lot payment. Not only has she gained an affordable home for the rest of her life, but Dorothy has a whole new community of like-minded people to be friends with! She only knew two of her neighbors in all her years in Nashville, but now she has oodles of friends she can invite over to enjoy her garden or tiny living room.

looking for a tiny home to buy on a lot
Hey Betty — nice, that’s exactly what a lot of people are looking for right now.
Are you hoping for something in a specific area, or are you open to different locations?
I can also point you in the right direction depending on your budget, timeline, and whether you want something already built vs. having one custom built 👍
