Set Your Search Up for Success
Finding land for your tiny house doesn’t have to be a daunting task. To make sure you’re putting out the clearest and most appealing message, here are some final tips:
Know Your Audience
Before you approach someone, consider what’s in it for them. What do you have that your prospective landlord might want?
Of course, the answer will depend on the kinds of people you approach. If your prospective landlord lives in a really wealthy area, gaining a few hundred extra dollars a month might not make hosting you worth it for them. But receiving one-of-a-kind custom-made jewelry or pottery (if you happen to be an artist) just might.
Keep in mind that certain people may be more likely to accept your offer than others, so it's worth giving some thought to who you approach. Senior citizens, for example, may have more space than families and need a bit of help around the house. Farmers are also likely to have plenty of land and probably won’t say no to an extra hand around the farm. People already familiar with the tiny house movement might also be more amenable to the idea of hosting a tiny house than those who’ve never heard of it.
Be Patient
Bear in mind that a lot of people will not have heard of tiny houses before. The concept of tiny living might confuse them, so be patient and have lots of photos on hand. Explain your reasons for wanting to live in a tiny house, and be as friendly and polite as possible.
Make a Good Impression
Make sure your tiny house looks nice and is well maintained. The same applies to you. Strangers will be much more likely to consider welcoming you into their home if you look like you’ll take care of it, so make sure you scrub up well. Tidy your tiny house, give it a fresh lick of paint, and do your hair!
Think Outside the Box
Be creative. Tiny houses are still a novelty, so just giving people the opportunity to see and interact with one is a great way to get people interested. Here are a couple of ideas to get you started.
Create a video of yourself and your tiny house. Explain who you are, what your background is, and why you want to live in a tiny house. Film a virtual tour of your home. Explain how everything works, focusing on any special requirements you might have (like how you’d connect your utilities).
Host a “get to know you” get-together at your tiny house. Invite people over to see firsthand what tiny living looks like. Let them poke around and ask questions to satisfy their curiosity.
Even though the search for land can seem overwhelming, there are tons of resources out there, and with some time and energy, I am sure you’ll be able to find a spot that suits you and your tiny house!
