Tiny Home, Granny Flat & Modular Home Finance
Finance for tiny homes, granny flats, modular and relocatable dwellings across Australia. As a specialist finance broker, Alpha390 compares 30+ lenders to structure the right loan for your build — and connects you with our residential partner, Little Home Loans, when specialist lending is the better fit.
Finance for the way Australians really live
Alternative and compact housing has moved from the fringe to the mainstream. Whether you are adding a granny flat for family or rental income, buying a factory-built modular home, downsizing into a tiny house, or setting up an off-grid or relocatable dwelling, the finance rarely looks like an ordinary home loan — and getting it structured correctly is where an experienced broker earns their keep.
Alpha390 has built genuine recognition in this space. We understand how lenders treat dwellings that may not be fixed to a permanent foundation, how to present a build that is delivered in stages, and how to position self-employed and ABN applicants. One conversation, one obligation-free enquiry, and we compare the market for you rather than sending you door-to-door.
What we can help you finance
Every dwelling type below is part of the same conversation. Where a build needs specialist residential or construction lending, we bring in our partner Little Home Loans so you still have one joined-up journey.
Tiny home & tiny house finance
Transportable and fixed tiny homes for owners, downsizers and investors — structured as a personal or secured loan depending on the build and its permanence.
Granny flat finance
Secondary dwellings for family, ageing parents or rental yield. We help owner-occupiers and investors fund the build without always needing to refinance the main home.
Modular & prefab home finance
Factory-built and prefabricated homes delivered to site. We structure finance around staged manufacture and delivery, which standard home loans often handle poorly.
Relocatable & removable home finance
Homes that can be moved or removed — including dwellings in lifestyle and land-lease communities where traditional mortgages may not apply.
Homes on wheels finance
Tiny houses on trailers and other wheeled dwellings, where the finance treatment sits closer to a vehicle or personal loan than a mortgage.
Off-grid & container home finance
Off-grid builds, container conversions and kit homes. These are niche, so lender appetite varies — we know which lenders will genuinely consider them.
Why finance your build through Alpha390
A real lender panel
We compare 30+ Australian banks and non-bank lenders, so you see options built around your dwelling type instead of a single bank’s policy.
Structuring know-how
Compact and alternative housing is assessed differently. We know how to present the build, the security and your income so it stacks up.
Self-employed & ABN friendly
Low-doc and ABN options for tradies, business owners and investors — a common profile for granny-flat and tiny-home buyers.
One enquiry, not ten
You apply once. We do the shopping around and the back-and-forth with lenders, and come back with a clear recommendation.
A residential partner on tap

How these homes are typically financed
Personal & unsecured loans
Common for transportable tiny homes and homes on wheels that aren’t fixed to land. Fast to arrange, with the dwelling not always required as security.
Secured & asset-backed loans
Where the dwelling or land can serve as security, secured lending can lower the rate. Suits many modular, granny-flat and relocatable builds.
Business & chattel options
For investors and businesses — including ABN and low-doc structures — where the dwelling is an income-producing or business asset.
Specialist residential lending — via Little Home Loans
