In this crazy property market tiny houses may be the way to go for many people struggling to buy their first home.
A Tauranga couple have almost finished building their dream home - all for about $40,000.

For $40,000 and the price of some land, it's a realistic goal for young people trying to break into the market.
Or, like Tara and Leo Murray, you can get permission to put it on someone else's land.
