Off grid, tiny houses and van conversions fascinate me. I think it’s the coolest way to live to be able to build your self sustainable house and be out in the desert or mountains off grid. One idea you can do is build a tiny house and use it as income for vacation rentals. You can get a geodesic dome on Etsy for $5k-$12k. These are the coolest looking huts, they are made with aluminum frames and a vinyl tent. They last up to 10-15 years so all you have to do is buy a new tent. You can build a fully functional off grid geodesic dome house for around $30k (including land, water tank and a septic. Below is a list of things you need to build one.
