About Us

At StayTinyTX, we believe tiny homes are more than just small spaces—they’re a tool for solving tough problems. Whether it’s generating passive income, keeping family close, or creating affordable housing options in high-cost areas, our mission is to help everyday Austinites unlock the full potential of their property.

Our Story

“In 2020, after years of wishful thinking and half-hearted scheming, I built my first tiny home in my own backyard. Navigating the construction process was no small feat—it was confusing, convoluted, and frustrating. But in the end, it was worth it. In just one year, the tiny home paid for itself. That’s when I realized this wasn’t just about building extra space; it was about unlocking financial freedom.

My brother and I partnered up in 2022 with the hopes of helping people avoid the frustration and roadblocks I experienced. Together, we launched StayTinyTX providing a turnkey solution that delivers high-quality, thoughtfully-designed tiny homes for homeowners looking to make their backyard work as hard as they do.”

Building for a Purpose

We’re just two brothers united by a common mission. Our tiny homes aren’t just about extra space—they create opportunity. We believe teachers and EMS workers should be able to live in the neighborhoods they serve. That’s why we partner with homeowners who want to share their backyard and provide housing for the essential workers who keep our community thriving.

Our past homeowner partners have used their backyard tiny homes to create passive income while allowing them to focus on what matters most.
