7 Free Tiny House Plans for Sustainable Living

Tiny houses are awesome. They allow you to live independently and mortgage free. With no mortgage, you can retire early or work less. Tiny homes are sustainable, so you’re not only reducing your carbon footprint, you’re also using fewer resources which means lower monthly bills. Building a sustainable, off-grid, eco-friendly home saves money, resources and Mother Nature!

A modest home with the same materials and luxuries would easily cost $200,000. Maintaining a tiny house is also less expensive than maintaining a regular home, says Colleen of IncomeRealty.net. This way money you save as the owner of a tiny house you can spend or invest in other things.

Whether you are a first-time homeowner, downsizing or retiring, tiny house living can be even more accessible if you build it yourself. First time building? It’s easy to learn how to use power tools. Here are some free tiny house plans that will help you do just that.
