Tiny Home Placement is a major topic!!
We are seeing the need for tiny home placement consulting services to help tiny home dwellers (and wanna-be dwellers!!) find somewhere to live in their tiny home.
The codes for tiny home living are progressing quickly and can be very difficult to navigate! Because they are not yet regulated on a national level, it is up to every individual state, county, and city to define and classify tiny homes on wheels / movable tiny homes and to decide if/how/where they will be used.
On top of that, they are such a new topic, that if you call to inquire with local governments, many of the gov officials will turn you away without even really knowing or understanding what it is you are asking.
We want to help. After 4 years of learning and navigating tiny home placement codes and dealing with various local governments on the issue as well as connecting with various tiny home industry experts, we have figured out how to navigate the scene.
We are starting close to home, in Florida, by compiling a list of Florida counties and comprehensive data on where/how/if tiny homes are allowed in those counties. This list will include information such as:
•what type of zoning allows for tiny homes
•can the THOW be used as a permanent residence or an accessory dwelling
•can they be rented out to use as income
•where to find the permits to apply
•who to speak to in the office about placing your tiny home
•what type of codes do the tiny homes have to meet
•what documentation is needed
This resource will be specifically geared towards tiny homes on wheels, however if we acquire information about site built tiny homes along the way we will include that as well.
We believe tiny homes are the future and a major solution to affordable housing issues that many face today.
If you want to receive a free download of this resource as soon as its available, join our mailing list today by visiting sftinyhomes.com
Did you know you can legally live full time in a tiny home on wheels in select Florida counties?
This lot is available now & already zoned for tiny home living! We have an already built Goa model available off the lot. Buy it now and move onto your new 8 acre lot to live in your dream tiny home for only $120k (tiny house + land!!)
We are happy to help you with the process of permitting and moving into your new tiny home!

Hello! Allow us to re-introduce ourselves! For those that are new here, we wanted to say hi!
Jivani here👋 (likely to be seen holding a baby) . I am usually the voice behind our social media. I do the layouts and designs of the tiny homes, as well as the interior decorating. I make sure everything looks beautiful and I get to shop for a living! (best job ever!)
Govinda runs the show behind the scenes. He puts in the hard work every day to make sure our business is running smoothly and that everyone is happy, from our team, to our customers.
A few years ago, we were both driving for a food delivery service using the most beat up old car you can possibly imagine that we were basically borrowing from one of our parents. Every day we would search our junk drawer for coins to go grab a coffee at happy hour for $1. Financial freedom was a DREAM. One that felt pretty far off.
Together we had the idea to build tiny homes on wheels. We decided to build just one as an experiment. I spent hours on Pinterest coming up with a design, and Govinda spent hours on YouTube figuring out how to do plumbing and electrical work for a tiny home. With some tips from a few friends, a LOT of hustling on Facebook marketplace, a COVID stimulus check, a student loan, a small investment from Govinda's mom, and lots of nights and weekends spent building, we built our first tiny home. We spent a total of $9k on that tiny home. Everything we had.
We never could have imagined how that first tiny home project would have changed our lives. Now, 4 years, 16 Airbnbs, 50 builds, 2 children, 5 properties, 2 awards, and about 100,000 visits to our local Lowe's, later - we have the Simplify Further that you see today.
We love what we do, and we are grateful for you all supporting us on our journey!
We hope to continue to grow and bring you beautiful tiny homes for many years to come.
Reminiscing about the enchanting days spent in this nostalgic tiny home ✨ Step back in time as we remember the charming interior, adorned with a delightful palette of pink, green, and purple hues. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to transport you to a whimsical world.
One of the highlights was the bathroom, boasting Justina Blakeney wallpaper that added a touch of bohemian elegance. The vibrant pattern brought a sense of joy and wonder to each visit, creating memories that will forever be cherished.
As we reflect we're reminded of the unique charm this tiny home possessed. From the cozy nooks to the playful color palette, it was a haven of nostalgia that brought a smile to our faces.
While this particular tiny home is no longer available on Airbnb, the memories it holds will forever live on. Let's celebrate the magical moments and cherish the remembrance of this pink, green, and purple oasis. 💖🌿💜
Our only regret: wasting thousand of $$$ on rent instead of building a tiny home to live in as a single, young adult!
How much do you spend on rent each month?
As a young adult I paid rent for about 9 years. Over those 9 years I estimate I paid $162,000 in rent. (Nowadays, it would be much more!)
Over those 9 years, I worked full time jobs just to make enough money to pay my rent.
My biggest regret is not building or buying a tiny house on wheels to live in so that at the end of those years I would have something to show for it instead of throwing away all my money to rent and walking away owning nothing.
To purchase a tiny home is on average costs $52,000 (and we have some for less!). Compared to what I paid in rent, I would have had my tiny house paid off in less than 3 years, and lived rent free the following 6 years saving me $110,000 that I could have used to buy a house or start a business.
What’s more, is that the tiny home can be resold or rented out at any time to create an income!
This investment would have saved me years of working 9-5 jobs and given me financial freedom way earlier in life!
Don’t make the same mistake I made!

Benefits of a Tiny Home Airbnb 💫
•Low start up costs, high returns: The average tiny home costs $52k (we have some for less!), which is 87% cheaper than the cost of a home.
•It doesn’t harm the housing market in the area to purchase a tiny home for airbnb the same way it would if you were to purchase a home for airbnb.
•Tiny Homes are a growing trend in America, which makes them more appealing to travelers looking for trendy places to stay.
•Airbnb platform has a special “tiny home” category for unique stays, making it easier for the right people to find your listing!
•Having Airbnbs increase your passive income, allowing you to free up your time for the things that truly matter.
Our first tiny home Airbnb replaced our single full time income in only 1 month of hosting! The best part is, tiny homes usually hold their value even when reselling as used, therefore you can count on getting your investment back even years later if your circumstances change and you no longer want to host.
We want to help you work less, and make more! DM us to check out the tiny homes we have available now 💫

GLAMPING: to satisfy the desire to take refuge in nature, without compromising any of life's luxuries.
For a long time we have been dreaming of an all wood interior tiny home. It is finally here! This gorgeous Rasa model features full pine interior. Everywhere you look is natural wood! To bring the outdoors in even more we opted for extra large windows and the full glass front door. With glamping in mind, we made the bathroom smaller to contain only the essentials (toilet and shower), in order to make the living space as open and spacious as ever.
We only have 1 Rasa model available with this beautiful all wood interior!
You can now request this full wood glamping style in any of our models for order. However, in our inventory we only have ONE available now! If you are interested, send us an email before it's gone!

As we developed our business, there were a few entrepreneurs that became our muses, and inspired us over the years.
One of our original muses from the start of our tiny home Airbnb business was The Coconut Casita, hosted by Linda Roberts. Linda's listing stood out from all of the rest.
Her personal touches, attention to detail, innovative ideas and ability to create a unique experience for her guests is a huge inspiration!
We learned a lot from the Coconut Casita, so we reached out to Linda to interview her about her inspirations, experience, and to share insight on how you can turn your Airbnb into a unique getaway!

Our Prana Model 🤍
The Prana tiny home will add a new breath of fresh air to your life; whether you are adding a guest house, Airbnb, or going tiny!
Prana is designed to have universal uses. It makes a great guest house, a profitable and efficient Airbnb, and can also be a great small home for full time living! Prana has a similar layout to our Rasa model with an added 32 sq ft of space. Prana’s winning feature is the cozy living room nook. The living space is 7x7ft, nestled underneath one of the lofts. It has the largest living room area out of our tiny house models.

Do you guys remember the tiniest tiny home we ever built?
Yogi tiny home was only 14x6 feet!!
It had 2 queen beds in bunk bed style, a tiny bathroom with a toilet and a shower stall, 2 barstool seats at the window, and a kitchenette with a 1 burner cooktop stove, mini fridge, and small sink.
Can you believe we fit all that comfortably in 84 sq ft!!
Yogi Tiny Home was awesome for road trips! We travelled with our family of 4 all around Florida and up to New York with our Yogi Tiny Home.
We think another road trip ready tiny home is on the horizon!

“At Simplify Further, they believe that your house should feel like home no matter the size. While trailer homes are often inexpensive to buy, they don’t feel as warm and welcoming as a well-designed tiny home. When a potential tiny home client and her 4th grade daughter came to visit one of Simplify Further’s latest tiny home listing, the daughter immediately jumped into the home’s loft bed and didn’t leave until her mom said it was time to go. Before leaving, this mother explained that they are currently living in a trailer home, and they feel like it is melting. Her eyes lit up alongside her daughter’s when they stepped into Simplify Further’s tiny home, furnished with real plants and natural lighting. When it comes to cozy and homey, Simplify Further delivers.”

Dear Tiny Home Supporters! We need your help!
As many of you know since you have been following our story, we filed a lawsuit against the City of Alachua to allow us to keep our tiny homes. The City has delayed this lawsuit moving forward repeatedly, avoiding service, then requesting an extension, and then finally on the last day of the extension grace period, filing a motion to request a more specific motion, where they nitpicked at a few sentences in our motion that they claimed were too vague to form a response to. Our attorney filed the more specific response they requested, however...
Meanwhile, they have been busy pushing through an agenda to change their codes, in order to no longer allow us to use our tiny homes on Airbnb. Surely, the fact that they are now trying to quickly change their codes in the midst of our lawsuit, is good evidence that we were originally permitted to Airbnb our tiny homes based on the codes they have always had, and that they were wrong in shutting our Airbnb on no legitimate grounds. Now they are trying to cover it up by changing their codes unnoticed.
Here is their agenda:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hRYCDiF9_hFvBqJtvNO4X5-VPWw5Cxi9/view?fbclid=IwAR0oxqcuaJIoubwlyJ3BFYzvZ6Iw9Z1qqZYmFv295i6qKs3DqEG9Om1izNc
If you go to page 639, you will find the proposed changes for RV codes for the City of Alachua, which we have screenshotted and attached as a photo in this update.
This new code amendment would make it a code violation to Airbnb any RV or Tiny Home on wheels on any property in the City of Alachua, residential or agricultural. It would also be a code violation to host your own family or friends in an RV or tiny home on your property, without a permit. It would also be a code violation to host your own friends or family in an RV on your property for more than a total of 14 days in a 6 month period, permit or not.
Here, you can find the meeting schedules and agendas:
https://alachua.novusagenda.com/AgendaPublic/
The relevant meeting says Planning and Zoning Board Meeting at the James A. Lewis Commission Chambers, at 6pm on Tuesday February 14th.
PLEASE attend this meeting with us!! At the end of the meeting they will open it up for citizens comments, to which we can stand together and oppose these amendments, &/or ask clarifying questions regarding them.
Thank you all for your ongoing support!!

“Conversely, Alachua City in Alachua County has no regulations on tiny homes, but it’s forcing successful Airbnb businesses to shut down – leading to lost jobs, irked residents and a lawsuit.”

Want to live in a tiny house? Barb Diaz suggests marking off an 8-by-20-foot area in your garage – or some space similar – and living in it for 24 hours.Put a TV in it. Put a dresser in it. Set aside an even smaller space for a “bathroom.” Don’t leave it. If you can deal with all that,

🎃👻🧙♀️ “As the border between summer and winter, and lightness and darkness,
Samhain is a celebration of Death. Simultaneously, it is
a festival which acknowledges the very valuable time of
rest, darkness, and silence that Mother Earth needs in
order to revitalize herself for next year's harvest- a reality that we, as humans, so often forget. It is a stark reminder that we live in a never-ending world of cycles.
Life, death, and rebirth are seen in the natural world everywhere we look from the moon, to the animals, to the body itself. Whether we like it or not,
Death is a force we must not only be willing to come face to face with, but a force we must welcome and revere. The fear that humanity as a collective holds about Death shows up in many areas of our lives, often
to our own detriment. We cling tightly to relationships and people who were supposed to walk out of our lives months or even years ago. We hold onto jobs or careers that no longer fulfill us and drain our energy.
We keep items around our homes that we never use, causing unnecessary clutter. We hold fast to parts of our self-identity that are false, because the known
although destructive - feels safer than the unknown and admitting that we do not really know who we are…”
Indeed as this time period brings a death to the old and a rebirth to the new, we are challenged with the purification process that comes before the new era is born.
For us, the (potential) end of our tiny home AirBnBs (we have already said goodbye to some: 💔Avanti 💔 Prana 💔 Yoga 🪦), looms overhead in our near future.
Through this process we have reflected on our passions and missions. Sure, as business owners, we have options, and fighting for our rights may not be the most practical, lucrative, or necessary route. But we believe deeply in the right that every American was promised - to achieve the American dream - to use innovation and entrepreneurship to obtain a life of opportunity and freedom..
In this process, we enter into an unknown, not knowing what it will look like on the other side. But we do know, this world is full of natural cycles. Death, brings rebirth. Surrender, brings purification. 🌙🦉🪶
in a tiny home, aesthetics & quality are top priorities 👒💎✨

•full tile surround for tub or shower
•ceramic tile floors
•stained & sealed wooden tongue & groove ceiling
•a double paned opening window
