Buying a house is tough enough, but finding housing that's affordable is even harder — one solution people are trying out is the 'casita.'It's a smaller house that can fit in a backyard.'I think it's a good house for people that cannot afford to live in a big house,' said Varo Ramirez, a general contractor, who built a casita on his property for his mom rather than buying a new house.
For example, she said, one homeowner rents out two separate tiny homes on her property — one home is rented out to a retired woman and a college student, creating a 'micro community.''We wanted to empower homeowners to be able to create, you know, wealth on their property, to create opportunity for their kids, their aging parents,' Lane said.To build a casita, Lane said, it typically costs between $100,000 to $200,000, and homeowners are getting creative with their uses.
