Hi, I can’t rent and I need a place to stay. I was considering purchasing a piece of land and building a tiny house or RV on it.
Subsequently, I learned about zoning regulations and the requirements for a foundation, among other costly requirements.
I have heard that while building, you can live in an RV. Is it feasible to start with just a small house and gradually expand the property? I did initially wish to buy a four-bedroom house, but it was out of my price range it seems that tiny homes can count as RVs or something. Ideas?

The cheapest way to build a house includes choosing a simple, small design, using cost-effective materials like prefabricated panels or recycled materials, and opting for a DIY approach or hiring affordable contractors. Prefabricated or modular homes often offer lower costs and faster construction.
Starting with a tiny house or RV on your land can be a feasible approach if zoning regulations allow it. It’s crucial to research local laws and requirements for temporary living structures. Gradually expanding the property might be a practical solution, especially if a larger house is financially out of reach.
