Yes. Sometimes mobile homes are a good idea.

The floorplans appear to indicate a stovetop, among other things.

There is quite a market for them, don't knock it. Buy a cheap lot somewhere, pour a slab, wheel the tiny house into place, nice starter home for a young'un in one weekend flat.

#15The thing that stood out most as missing to me is a shower. Sure, I suppose you could do that at a gym, but still - having at least a shower is a pretty big quality-of-living improvement (or lack thereof).

#16Make it modular and expandable, have like a 'base house' with the kitchen, 1st bath, 1st bed, and living room then then add the ability to add Bedrooms, and Bathrooms as 'modules' -- basically a house building block system, --that would be cool.
This is a really cool idea. It would be awesome if the walls were also modular enough that you can take the glass doored walls off the original structure and put them on the new pieces you purchase.

Well, the median house price in Detroit looks to be about $40k at the moment... including the parcel.

You really only need two burners and an oven to cook most things.

I assume the bathroom doubles as the shower stall just like on a boat or in the Tumbleweed houses.
