Tiny homes, communities for them and the future.

Good morning everyone!

I'm interested in the overall general feeling from those of you in the real estate world on tiny homes, more specifically mobile tiny homes. Like the ones they show on TV. I'm personally building my own tiny home and am working to establish a pilot community for THoW's in the Denver metro area. I really do believe these small structures can offer a solution to housing issues in the short term and may even be a long term solution for many.

Being a  part of the movement, I understand the mindset or as I like to call it the "psychographics" of the people choosing tiny living. Does anyone have experience with these small structures? Or dare I say it... a mobile home community? 

I love the tiny home movement, the people that choose this lifestyle and pouring the efforts into turning the movement into a legit industry!

Tiny homes are a fad. Most buyers/builders spend far more than they are worth and rarely stay with them very long. Resale is very low due to limited buyers. Most are worth 50% or less that what they cost.

Most quickly discover they are not practical and realise their money is better invested in a conventional home where it retains value and usually appreciates. 

RVs and small mobile homes have existed for 60+ years. No reason to reinvent the wheel at twice the cost.
