Investing in Tiny Homes

Posted

Whats Bigger Pockets opinion on buying some land to build various tiny homes lets say 3 to 4 at a time on a 1 to 2 acre plot. I feel like it might be a great idea here in California and the location I'm in. I'm open to any opinions and thoughts you guys might have or if there's anyone with tiny home investing experience that can chime in and share there experience. 

Thanks in advance

Get with your local county and find out how much of the land has to have water detention  ( I am in Houston,TX. CA I know is different) also you can get many more than 4 homes on a 1 acre with a Zero Lot Line.  Work with someone who does entitlement for your area.  I think you are missing out on going a little larger, such as 30ftx80ft lots and make 2 story homes that are affordable builder grade, that would yield more for your land.  Or maybe even 2-3qty 3-4 unit complexes.  But it all depends on your #s.  These vary deal to deal.  

FYI for Fannie & Freddie Loans the house must be at least 350sqft.
