If you want to take control of your housing, change your financial future and lead a simple, sustainable lifestyle… then Going Tiny is a great idea.
Yet!
If you talk to anyone who’s gone tiny, you’ll find out that the journey is more complex and is filled with more questions than answers. So to minimize the overwhelm that comes hand in hand with thousands of decisions you’ll have to make, then being fully informed ahead of time is key. Especially, if you plan on enjoying this once in a lifetime transition.
So yes, you could binge watch all the YouTube videos, Tiny Home TV shows and make it your daily ritual to browse internet sites and facebook pages showcasing people living your dream life as a way to try and figure things out.
Or…
You could make the decision to work with an expert in order to learn from other people’s mistakes and give yourself the gift of saving countless amounts of time, energy and money.
Because the unfortunate truth is…
Most of what you see in a picture-perfect, final-cut version on your screen is not accurate in the ever changing world of building codes, zoning laws and financing, which all play a critical role in you being able to successfully GO TiNY.

Meet Stacey Murphy...
Stacey sold her home in Florida and she knew that she wanted to move to San Diego and considering the difference in the cost of living between the coastal states, going tiny was her opportunity for making it happen in a financially feasible way.
The two biggest questions that Stacey needed help with were:
1) (LAND) - Where will I find the property that meets my criteria to locate my Tiny Home?
2) (BUILD) - Which builder can I trust considering that I just learned that my first choice was stealing people’s deposits?
As a result of going through the GO TiNY! Academy Stacey fast tracked her Tiny Home process:
Stacey is currently having a lot of fun going through the design process leading up to the build and she always says that investing in The GO TiNY! Academy was the best decision she could have made.

- (LAND) - Where will I find a Tiny Home community to place our home?
- (BUILD) - Which builder can I trust to build our home to our standards considering we had to cancel an initial design contract with a builder that ended up not having a good reputation in the industry.
As a result of going through the GO TiNY! Academy Andrea fast tracked her Tiny Home process:
- She became aware of all the costs involved with what she dreamed of for her home and was able to shift her layout and materials to a floorplan that will work for her.
- She diligently explored options for financing and discovered the best financing is connected to the builders or for a pre-owned home discovered seller financing was an option
- She found a lot she could park her home on for free until she found the ideal spot to park her Tiny Home

Hi there, I'm Lindsay Wood!
People know me as "The Tiny Home Lady" and I’m the creator and lead instructor in the GO TiNY! Academy.
My Tiny Home journey began in 2017, when my husband and I realized that we had spent north of $100,000 in rent in 7 years. We were paying for someone else's mortgage while dreaming of…
a) Home ownership and
b) The freedom to live in different parts of the country
The traditional path of purchasing a home in the San Francisco Bay Area wasn’t in the books for us, as it wasn’t supportive of the vision we had for our lifestyle and financial future.
Going Tiny was the perfect solution.
We flew from California to Texas to attend our first Tiny Home Festival and on the final hour of the final day, we met our dream builder (or so we thought). About 6 months and $65,000 into the build, we got a call from our builder saying…
“Your home is not finished but you need to come pick it up ASAP, as we are going out of business”.
Since then, I’ve personally had over 800 conversations with people about their journey of Going Tiny and the GO TiNY! Academy is a culmination of all that we have learned on our own as well as working directly with our clients.
We want to increase the number of people that get access to this important information so we can create more attainable and affordable housing in the US.
Our Tiny Home gave us the ability to become homeowners, live a more sustainable and simplified life and travel from California to Texas to Colorado with the message of Going Tiny.
We want that choice for you!
We know all too well the Tiny Home journey is a windy twisting road of choices and challenges and we are here to support you make the best choices so you can get onto living your best life!
Coming home to our Tiny Home is like coming home to a hug
