We get this question every day: "Can I just buy a $50k Tiny Home on Amazon and put it in my backyard?"
The Hard Truth
In 95% of Florida residential zones, the answer is NO. If it has wheels and a license plate (DMV), it is considered a vehicle, not a dwelling.
The Legal Loophole: Modular Construction
If you want the "Tiny Home" look but want to stay legal (and build equity), you need a Modular ADU. These are factory-built to Florida Building Code, placed on a permanent foundation, and count as real estate.
- RV/Tiny Home: Depreciating asset (like a car). Hard to finance. Illegal to rent.
- Modular ADU: Appreciating asset (like a house). Easy to finance. Legal to rent.
