7 TOP Home Kits Under $30k You Can Build Yourself

DIY home kits are growing into a rage. Every year more and more home kit manufactures are entering the market. Some good, most bad. I cherry picked 7 (+1) home kit manufacturers including one that I already purchased and two others that I will be purchasing for future projects.

Whether you're looking for affordable housing to live in, rent out or even land hack, if you are able to put in a little sweat equity, these kits maybe the best bang for the buck for you.

Obviously check your local zoning and permitting requirements before committing to any one of these options in the video. If you're too lazy to watch the video here's the list (but you'll miss out on my very insightful take on them): 7. Home Depot Tuff Sheds 6. Bungalow in a Box 5. Pacific Yurts 4. Den Outdoors 3. Allwood Sommersby 2. Pacific Domes 1. Avrames (Honorable Mention: Deltec)

My area requires permits for anything above 99sq ft. However a yurt requires no permits and does not impact property taxes

[cherrykrolczyk]

Another good one you might want to look into is arched cabins. Prices are $1440 and up. So its just the shell and you have to finish it all yourself. It is one I've been looking into.

@2:21 i love this idea of having an offsite “office” in the garden!! could be used as an office, movie room, a bar area, etc — i love it

[intuitivedeatarot]

Seriously, I've been studying up on all this for years & I just got back into my dream to get land & build on my land but you break it down so well. You refreshed my mind & you taught me some new stuff. Thank You King

"Getting more about the diy lifestyle" is a kind way of saying "forced out of the housing market"

[hollaba]

This video helps bring clarity of prices and options. Thanks kai

[tuvoca]

Having the original doors on the shipping containers... sounds great for storms. What a nice feature!!

[carlgrussendorf]

Yup Arched Cabins...5000 And they deliver!1 person setup...and when I get a piece of land....

[paulajf]

For those looking for more than just a tool shed or additional office space, isn't the issue, that once you pay for it to be built along with land, plumbing, etc., you might as well buy a regular house? That said, I like the look of the Avrame ones best.

[becky]

I love how you've reframed 2020 as the "2020 Fiasco" rather than the standard excuse/explanation

[billrusk]

Just found your channel while looking for shed to house/ tiny homes for my land. Thank you Kai. Loved the choices you showed

[mikefeddersen]

Hey Kai, I am much older than you, so I have seen some things you might have missed. I know Sears is gone bye bye, but from around 1908-1940 they shipped home kits across the country.

[teenapittman]

The last one, Delta, looks like a down south Grain silo. My favorite one.

[dereksteneman]

Phenomenal find! kai offers perfect insight into a few tiny home options. Spot on with next generation DIY and affordable housing. Gone are the days of massive stick built home dreams.

[AAchurch]

Ok, I must say. I built 1 year ago a 10x10 extra outdoor home office space. It looks just like the tuff shed you liked. My entire cost was under 1000, including 1 window 1 door hardwood floor, through wall ac, sheetrock & 1 outlet, and 1 light switch. So 9000 is way overpriced, I feel.

[alejandrogarza]

This was an awesome video young man!!!
It was informative detailed and educational....I thoroughly enjoyed it....thank you for all the hard work and time you put into making it...best wishes and take care

[Wingslapped]

I'm currently paying down debt and seeing if this is the area where I want to live/work. You've covered some options that could work for me in the future.

[Alien]

Can you please make a video about what is available in Canada? That would be great! Thank you

[milesaway]

I love raised houses! I want to build one just like this as a rental on an adjacent piece of land with great old growth trees!

[raysloss]

I appreciate your information and the time you took to put it together. We have 2 acres in Alaska and depending on the shipping these are a good options to research. Thank you,
