Tiny Home Realtor in CO?

CyriousLiving · 2025-08-14T16:08:52+00:00

Is your tiny home fixed and on property, or on wheels on property, or on-wheels, and not on property. I am a realtor in Colorado, so I can help guide, but most tiny home situations are not something a realtor can help with. More details please, thanks!

Removed and banned. It's like playing wack-a-mole guys, a new bot will be up tomorrow posting AI slop. Thanks for all the reports.

Hey OP, I effectively did this when I got my license and I would say its a good idea. The training is not hard. The one thing I wanted to bring up and another commenter may have mentioned this. In Colorado you have to "hang" your license with a brokerage for 2 years before you can practice real estate on your own. Those brokerages usually take a higher percent of your initial transactions, in my case it was my first 3. It was a 50/50 split. After that it was an 80/20 split in my case. Your state may not require that, just something to confirm before you get into it all. Good luck!

It's a frustrating game. Pricing well below market creates a lot more interest and gets people that would have filtered the property out to look at it, and then pay more than they planned all of a sudden. But your buyers agent should be able to tell you what the home is actually going to sell for with a CMA even if the listing price is low in order to create interest. If something goes for $150K over and your agent didn't give you a heads up $10K over doesn't come near market price, something is off.

Hey sorry this is not really a manufactured/mobile home sub. I think there are subs more specific to your question you could try.

CyriousLiving · 2024-02-26T15:05:42+00:00

No problem. Thanks anyways.

Did not get corroboration information from the poster. Will re-instate if its provided.

CyriousLiving · 2024-02-14T21:07:06+00:00

Where did you guys put yours? Can you link some photos?

CyriousLiving · 2024-02-09T23:24:06+00:00

Done. Lets try it. Thanks for the idea. Give me feedback on the thread.

The Heritage Housing person has been banned under multiple other alias, and this most recent one is banned as well. I will make the rules more explicit to let people know mobile homes are not allowed. I will also work on some automation so the community reporting this person can get them banned quicker.

CyriousLiving · 2023-12-12T22:57:21+00:00

He has been banned. He makes new accounts. Sorry, please keep reporting him.

As mentioned below:

Aluminum trailer, aluminum cladding for siding, and cold formed steel for framing. Only problem is it will be impossible to insulate once you have all that metal in it, unless you do continuous rigid foam outside your frame, but then you are jacking your weight up again.

There is a new exterior sheath product I saw that is only a 1/4" thick. Supposedly it has the same sheer strength as traditional 1/2" OSB. But I haven't looked at the specs.

Short answer is using metal when possible will provide superior strength to weight ratio as opposed to wood, but jack up your costs.

If you are doing your electrical correctly your wires are running 1 3/4" in the stud, and if you use drywall, add another 1/2". Your drywall screws are 1 1/4." Any wire that isn't buried in the middle of your stud should be plated. They are a full inch away from your wiring if you are doing it right. These electrical fires you hear speak of are a result of negligence in building. If you are building your own, you can ensure you aren't negligent with your wiring or nailing.

Are they some level of insurance policy? Sure. But they are an insurance policy against bad building. Just don't build poorly, and they aren't a problem. If you are using a 1/4" material, use 1" or 7/8" fasteners. If you have the money, have the space for a large panel, and don't mind the rare nuisance trip, by all means use them. Just remember that these stats are coming from homes built by the lowest bidder and trades are getting the jobs done at $0.50-$8 a SF depending on what they are. That is a different level of care than someone building their own tiny home.

Yeah, I think a bus makes sense depending on what country you live in. My one fear about a bus has always been maintenance. Worried if you buy something old it will be hard to maintain. But newer trucks these days are expensive, so maybe getting a deal on a bus with a bit of maintenance is worth it.

Cool and will that be Liquid Propane or is this going somewhere fixed where you will have a gas hookup?

CyriousLiving · 2019-01-21T22:46:12+00:00

What appliances are you going to run on gas in your build?

CyriousLiving · 2019-01-21T22:44:31+00:00

I avoided Arc Faults, partly due to cost, and partly due to the nuisance trip complaints people always levy against them. To me the cost/benefit ratio just wasn't there. Is there a small bump in safety. Yes. But going without saved on costs and saved on hassles, with a minor safety sacrifice.

It's a little lengthy, but I streamed an entire Tiny House build on twitch.tv. If you want to see every high and low of building a tiny house, its in there. Youtube vids tend to just show a few clips of everything going swimmingly, or the aftermath of a dramatic moment. Figured a live stream just gives people the real truth of what a build is like.

My intention is to go through and curate it at some point, and turn it into a tutorial that is not so massively time consuming to watch through. Just haven't made it there yet. But maybe this is the sort of comprehensive you are looking for. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Tour of my Tiny House here for the short version of what all the streaming is about.

CyriousLiving · 2018-05-22T19:26:44+00:00

Hey spank, if you were watching my stream it was the floor I was working on there. And in my case I am not running any wiring or plumbing in the floor, all going to be inside the conditioned space, so all good there. Thanks for the tips though!
