Do tiny houses have much interest?

Chris C.
Posted

Currently have a property listed near me that has a few acres with a house only 600 sq ft that needs decent amount of work but can be done, houses have been selling fast near me and over priced but this property they are asking top dollar where I'm sure people are over looking since they only see the need to knock down and rebuild a bigger house, my question is, does anyone currently having luck with renting tiny houses?

With small adjustments this house could be a nice small house either to rent or possibly turn to Airbnb with it being in the woods? location is about 15 minutes from main highway or small colleges 

houses in the area for a 1bd room apartment rent from 600-650 this would be a 1 bd room house unless put an addition or do something with the attic space currently they are asking $160,000 I figured would be needing to offer mostly just land value under 100,000 in order for any numbers to work but could be wrong?

If it's prettied up it can be an attractive STR. As a permanent residence tiny home there are young people building their own, and that demographic is using the lower cost of that construction to try to gain financial freedom just like investors, so renting would defeat that purpose. However, if colleges are nearby and your rent can beat typical 1 br rent in that area, you could get interest from students looking to minimize their housing costs.
