Amazon sells dozens of tiny homes you can build yourself to save thousands of dollars — take a look

Tiny homes have become increasingly popular in the past few years, whether that's because of rising costs of living or because they encourage minimalist living. Tiny homes make it possible to own property, even if it's under 500 square feet.
But while owning a functional housing unit may seem like a daunting task, Amazon has stepped in to make a hot trend available to the masses by making these tiny homes easy to buy and simple to build. The e-commerce site sells dozens of various tiny-home models that can be delivered right to your front door.

However, if tiny homes are a bit too small for you, Amazon also offers do-it-yourself kits for building houses that are more than 500 square feet. These bigger "tiny" homes are probably still cheaper than a little apartment in Silicon Valley.

Tiny homes have become increasingly popular in the past few years, whether that's because of rising costs of living or because they encourage minimalist living. Tiny homes make it possible to own your own property, even if that house measures only between 100 and 400 square feet.

But while constructing a functional housing unit may seem like a daunting task, Amazon has stepped in to make a hot millennial trend available to the masses by making these tiny homes easy to buy and simple to build. There are more than two dozen options on Amazon for DIY tiny-home kits, including 113-foot cabins at $5,350 and loft-bedroom houses at $20,000.

Surprisingly, some of the Amazon listings say these tiny homes can be built in as little as two days with two people.
