With tiny homes popping up all across the country, not many seem surprised to hear someone speak of their desire to “go small.” Everyone seems to be on overdrive to save money, reduce carbon footprints, and see what it feels like to live with less.

However, it is easier said than done to buy or build such a small accommodation. A large number of things need to be considered such as the lifestyle of the inmates and the actual construction to be followed. Moreover, this is a national movement not everyone can participate in.

Here are ten questions that every homeowner must ask before deciding whether and how to buy a tiny house.
