Five questions. About one minute. A straight answer at the end.

Know the build.

Same small footprint. Two completely different plays.

01

Mobile tiny home

Built on a trailer or chassis. It moves, arrives faster, and keeps your options open.

  • Relocates with you
  • No permanent foundation
  • Lower upfront commitment
  • Best for flexible living
02

Accessory dwelling unit

A permanent secondary home. It stays put, connects to the property, and builds long-term value.

  • Adds property value
  • Long-term rental potential
  • Permanent utilities
  • Best for owned land
