What Is Bonus Depreciation for Tiny Homes on Wheels?
When you buy a big asset for your business like equipment, certain vehicles, or moveable structures you usually don’t get to deduct all of it in one year. Instead, the IRS has you depreciate it over multiple years.
Bonus depreciation is a special set of rules that may allow you to:
- Deduct a large portion, sometimes up to 100%, of the cost in year one,
- As long as the asset qualifies and is used in your trade or business.
That can create a big first-year tax deduction, which is why business owners and investors start paying attention when they hear phrases like “bonus depreciation,” “Section 179,” and “tiny home on wheels.”
Why Vettel Haus Is Different from a Traditional House
Most traditional homes are treated as real property. They’re stuck on long depreciation schedules (think 27.5+ years) and do not get the same treatment as certain types of moveable business property.
A tiny home on wheels (THOW), like the Vettel Haus by myHAUSING, is different:
- It is movable, built on a high-quality trailer instead of a permanent foundation.
- When used 100% (or primarily) for business like short-term rental, glamping, or interim housing it may be treated more like business personal property.
- That’s the kind of asset your CPA may evaluate for bonus depreciation or Section 179 expensing, depending on your situation.
This is where Vettel Haus stands out: it gives you a luxury, design-led tiny home that behaves like an asset your business can actually use, not just a secondary personal residence.
The Vettel Haus Price: $89,995 and Why It Matters
The current price of Vettel Haus is $89,995.
From a tax and ROI perspective, that number matters because it’s the base your CPA will look at when calculating:
- Depreciation
- Bonus depreciation (if it applies)
- Section 179 (if it applies)
- And your potential year-one tax impact
A very simplified example (illustrative only):
- Purchase price: $89,995
- Potential first-year deduction (if 100% bonus depreciation applies): up to $89,995
- Combined tax rate (example): 30%
- Possible tax savings (example): ≈ $27,000
You still pay $89,995 for Vettel Haus but if your CPA confirms eligibility and you use the unit 100% for business, the effective after-tax cost can feel significantly lower thanks to the tax deduction.
Why Vettel Haus Is Built as a Serious Business Asset (Not Just a Cute Tiny House)
If you’re going to use a tiny home on wheels as an Airbnb, glamping unit, or interim housing product, the design really matters.
Vettel Haus by myHAUSING is purpose-built to perform:
- 🏡 Luxury tiny home on wheels
- Architect-inspired layout
- Warm wood tones, clean lines, and architectural lighting
- 🍽️ High-end fixtures guests notice
- SMEG refrigerator
- Blanco sink and faucet
- Premium finishes that look incredible in listing photos
- 🛏️ Flexible, studio-style layout
- Murphy bed that folds up to create a living room or workspace
- Clever storage to keep the tiny space uncluttered
- 🔌 Plug-and-play setup
- Built as a true THOW on a custom trailer
- Designed to connect to common RV-style utilities or prepared pads
This combination makes Vettel Haus both:
- A unit your guests, tenants, or staff actually love staying in, and
- A serious business asset you can discuss with your CPA when it comes to depreciation.
Case Study #1: Airbnb Host Using Vettel Haus as a Premium Backyard Suite
Scenario:
- An Airbnb host buys a Vettel Haus for $89,995
- Parks it in the backyard as a luxury tiny home Airbnb
- Brands the listing as an architect-designed tiny suite with high-end finishes
Because the Murphy bed, styling, and finishes stand out, the listing can command higher nightly rates than a basic backyard studio.
Example numbers:
- Average nightly rate: $225
- Nights booked per year: 200
- Gross annual revenue: $45,000
If the host’s CPA confirms that the tiny home on wheels:
- Is used 100% for business, and
- Qualifies as depreciable business property eligible for bonus depreciation,
then the $89,995 purchase may generate a significant year-one tax deduction, while the Airbnb income helps pay down the investment.
Case Study #2: Glamping Operator Adding a “Hero” Luxury Tiny Home
Scenario:
- A glamping site owner operates several tents and simple structures.
- They invest in one Vettel Haus tiny home on wheels to serve as a flagship “hero unit.”
- Listing photos, social media, and paid ads heavily feature Vettel Haus because it looks elevated and premium.
Example revenue:
- Standard tent: $140/night
- Vettel Haus: $295/night as the premium option
- 150 nights/year at $295 = $44,250 from that unit alone
The visual quality of Vettel Haus helps:
- Justify higher nightly rates
- Boost the brand image of the entire property
- Attract higher-spend guests
From a tax perspective, the glamping operator’s CPA may evaluate the Vettel Haus as business equipment used in a hospitality operation and consider whether bonus depreciation or Section 179 can be applied.
Case Study #3: Interim Housing Provider Serving Travel Nurses & Corporate Clients
Scenario:
- An interim housing company buys Vettel Haus for $89,995
- Places it on leased land near a hospital or large employer
- Uses it as furnished housing for travel nurses or relocating employees
Example revenue:
- Monthly rent: $2,750
- 11 occupied months per year = $30,250 in annual revenue
Because Vettel Haus is:
- Movable
- High-quality
- And visually impressive,
it’s easy to showcase to hospitals, staffing agencies, and corporate clients as a premium interim housing solution.
The CPA then evaluates whether the unit qualifies as business property for bonus depreciation, creating a potential first-year tax deduction while the housing company collects steady rent.
Bonus Depreciation vs. Section 179 for Tiny Homes on Wheels
When it comes to tiny home tax benefits, two terms come up a lot:
- Bonus Depreciation
- Section 179 Expensing
Your CPA may consider:
- Using Section 179 to expense certain business property up to annual limits
- Layering bonus depreciation on remaining basis
- Or choosing a more gradual depreciation method if that’s better for your long-term tax planning
The important part:
Vettel Haus is built to function as a business-ready, moveable asset, so you and your CPA have something strong to work with when you design your tax strategy.
