Could I Actually Do Tiny Living?
The $150k Reality Check


Built for New Zealand conditions.

If you’re thinking about a tiny house or transportable granny flat in New Zealand, you’ve probably watched the videos, saved the inspiration… but still don’t know if it’s actually possible for you.

The Tiny Living Feasibility Kit helps you get a clear YES / NO / NEXT STEP in about 90 minutes.

Why Most People Stay Stuck

You can picture it.
You want it.
You’ve watched the videos.
You’ve saved the inspo.

But you don’t actually know if it’s possible for you.

That’s what I call dream mode.

And it’s where people stay stuck for months - sometimes years - without ever making a real move.

What you actually need is clarity:

YES / NO / NEXT STEP

Not based on vibes.
Based on real-world numbers.

The Part Most People Avoid

It’s not design.
It’s not finding the perfect layout.
It’s not whether you should go off-grid.

It’s budget.

More specifically — whether your budget can handle the parts people rarely talk about:

  • Site works
  • Services
  • Compliance
  • Delivery
  • Insurance
  • Life continuing while you build

Here’s the truth most people discover too late:

Being able to afford a $960 course does not mean you can afford a tiny build.

Those are two very different financial realities.

What $150k Usually Represents

Could you do something under $150k?

Sometimes.

But under $150k usually means more trade-offs.

For most New Zealand situations, $150k+ is where projects become stable and realistic.

It’s where you can:

• make sensible design decisions
• absorb the unknowns that always show up
• avoid being caught out halfway through

Because things will come up.

The trenching that wasn’t quoted.
The site that looked flat… until it wasn’t.
The access issue.
The consent complication.

$150k isn’t a barrier.

It’s a reality anchor.
