At Movable Roots, we’ve spent years perfecting the art of custom tiny homes on wheels. Our passion has always been to offer our clients unique, functional spaces that reflect their personal needs and lifestyles. But as the tiny home movement evolved, we noticed a growing demand for small, permanent homes. This led us to expand our offerings and introduce the **Movable Roots Modular Line** in early 2024.
So, why go modular? Here are a few reasons why our modular homes might be the perfect fit for your next tiny home on a foundation:
1. Better Financing Options
One of the main challenges with traditional tiny homes on wheels is financing. Many lenders classify these homes as personal property, making it harder for clients to secure traditional mortgage options. Modular homes, on the other hand, open up better financing opportunities.
Because modular homes are built to the same standards as traditional site-built homes, they qualify for traditional home mortgages. This gives you the financial flexibility to invest in a home that is both high-quality and more affordable in the long run, without the high-interest rates often associated with RV loans or personal property loans.
2. Placement Flexibility
Our modular homes also offer greater placement flexibility. In many areas, zoning regulations can limit where you can place a tiny home on wheels, but modular homes are often treated as permanent structures, making it easier to find land and build your dream home.
Depending on your property’s square footage minimums, these modular homes can be placed as a primary dwelling. This gives you the opportunity to own a small, well-built home that complies with local zoning laws without sacrificing the benefits of tiny living. You can even explore placement in residential neighborhoods where traditional tiny homes on wheels may not be allowed.
3. Built to High Standards for Florida Codes
One thing that sets our modular homes apart is their ability to meet Florida’s rigorous building codes and wind ratings. Florida is known for its unique weather patterns, including hurricanes, so building to these high standards is critical for anyone looking to create a lasting, safe home.
Each home in our modular line—the Atlas 1/1, Penny 2/1, and Charlie 2/2—is built with these codes in mind. That means you’re not just getting a tiny home on a foundation—you’re getting a structure that’s engineered to withstand the elements, providing you with both peace of mind and longevity.
4. Versatile Living Options: ADUs, Short-Term Rentals, and More
Another exciting advantage of going modular is the versatility of these homes. Our modular models make great Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), short-term rental units, or backyard cottages. Whether you’re looking to expand your living space for family, generate additional income through a rental property, or simply want a cozy guest house in your backyard, these homes offer a wide range of possibilities.
With the increasing popularity of tiny homes and ADUs in residential settings, modular homes offer a flexible way to get the most out of your property.
5. Custom Modular Options
At Movable Roots, customization has always been key to our designs, and that hasn’t changed with our modular line. If our standard models—the Atlas, Penny, or Charlie—don’t quite meet your needs, we also offer custom modular options. This means you can work with our team to create a design that is uniquely yours, built to suit your lifestyle, aesthetic, and functional requirements.
Whether you need a different layout, additional rooms, or special accessibility features, our custom modular solutions give you the freedom to create a home that perfectly fits your needs.
