You can now buy DIY "tiny homes" from The Home Depot – they're surprisingly stylish and some are less than $50,000

For many, building a home is an aspiration. What a luxury to have full control over the building of your home. But with all that freedom and control comes a hefty price tag and A LOT of planning. Hats off to all those who dive into building a home, or even just a large renovation, without a project manager or architect in the family. 

For those of us without unlimited budgets, time, or mental capacity, Home Depot has tiny homes for purchase on its website. They don't quite come flat packed but in terms of building a house, they are pretty compact. Some are shells of buildings that need to be fitted out, some are more complex builds. You may be alarmed by the price tag, not to mention the ease of putting in your basket and pressing "buy now", but once you add up what you would spend on organizing it yourself you may want to reconsider.
