Empire Tiny Homes

Empire Tiny Homes is based in Springfield, Tennessee, north of Nashville, and was Nashville’s first established tiny home on foundation builder. The company spent two years working with surrounding counties, engineers, and architects to get state approval for placing tiny homes on foundations legally in Tennessee.

Each house goes through an inspection process by Tennessee-licensed civil and electrical engineers that certifies each step through the state of Tennessee. This state-level certification means buyers do not need their local code department to inspect the home — a significant advantage in jurisdictions with complex or unclear tiny home regulations.

Empire offers lease-purchase rent-to-own financing with a 20-25% down payment and terms of 36, 48, 60, or 72 months, with no credit check and no credit reporting. This alternative financing path makes tiny home ownership accessible to buyers who may not qualify for traditional mortgages.
