It is no secret that, although popularized by HGTV and various TV shows, the tiny house industry is still in its infancy.

The market has certainly responded, with huge growth year over year in the industry for the past 5-7 years. As lending options become more widely available and jurisdictions continue to relax on square footage requirements, we believe the tiny house movement will grow from a small trickle to a full waterfall.
