On the other hand, tiny house plans are sometimes used as guest houses--i.e. small homes that live next to the primary residence. Guest homes can be especially useful if you're planning to house an elderly parent, inlaw, or returning college student. Why? Because a guest home allows the guest (whoever they may be) to enjoy close proximity to the family while still maintaining a degree of privacy. Guests houses can also be rented out to non-family members (assuming local laws permit). Related categories include: Affordable House Plans, Starter House Plans, Empty Nest House Plans.
