All You Need To Know About Finding Land
Some Tiny Houses on Wheels (THOW) owners are fortunate enough to have family members or close friends who own property, ready to offer up a parking spot for their mobile home.
Others will search for rental options online, reaching out to landowners, RV parks and campgrounds, or exploring rental spots to park caravans or THOWs via local networks and Facebook groups.
But if you’re feeling like this could be a daunting task, and were rather hoping for a turnkey solution to finding land, you’re not alone… and we’ve got an alternative for you!
WE PARTNER WITH THE EXPERTS
Our partners at ParkMyTinyHouse are the leaders in helping Tiny Houses on Wheels (THOW) owners find a place to park their homes across Australia. In operation since 2021, they have developed a platform based on a smart and simple concept, matching like-minded people who want to live more freely in their movable dwellings with land owners who are willing to rent a small spot to them long term. The platform caters to those looking for a parking spot for a minimum of six months, where they will live full-time.
A WIN-WIN RELATIONSHIP
All you have to do is fill out an application to become a member, listing details about what you’re looking for in terms of property.
Property hosts fill out similar documents from their end, detailing property size, current tenants if applicable, and sharing all the important information about the property itself. They clearly list what they’re able to offer in terms of land area and services that will be available to prospective tenants.
And if you’re not finding the ideal spot within the registry, the team at ParkMyTinyHouse will put out feelers via their extensive network to find properties that may be able to accommodate you.
WHERE DO OUR ADAPT HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE TO PARK THEIRS?
A number of our new THOW owners have family members or close friends that have offered an area of their property as a parking spot – an ideal scenario for those seeking a sense of community or finding benefit in an intergenerational living setup.
Conversely, we also have not-so-tiny homeowners that were after a comfortable place to call home while their work takes them to different mining or building sites across territories. We love the flexibility that comes with having a moveable dwelling, which allows for keeping their “nest” and sense of peace and security easily accessible to them, no matter where their jobs take them.
And for those who did not share either of these realities, a ParkMyTinyHouse membership has proven a successful and smart investment time after time, matching our new Adapt Homeowners with a safe and affordable place to call home base for the first leg of their journey!
