...why couldn't one build a tiny house, live in it while building successively larger tiny houses until you can afford a full-sized one?
Nobody is building a tiny house for only $10k. $10k is enough of a down payment for a VA mortgage.

Reiterating dwelling units on a non-appreciating asset (also known as a liability) is the definition of inefficiency.

You build a tiny house because that's the type of house you want to live in; not as a way to own a large house.

Living with mom is how one saves money
