Tiny Homes - Logistics/regulations

[Heidi Goehri]

I would love feedback on other investors' experiences with tiny homes. I am looking into some properties in the vicinity of a local ski resort and was wondering about creating additional income from adding a tiny home in addition to the current dwelling. What all regulations do I need to look into for this? Here are some of my questions: 

-I read that if the home is still on wheels, it is considered an RV. So I'd need to see if there are local regulations on being able to park RV's. Anything else I'm missing to look into? 

-If the home isn't on wheels, do I look into how to change a zoning to multifamily? Is the tiny home considered an ADU?

-If we ever find an empty lot and want to look into putting multiple tiny homes on it (resort workers need affordable housing) would we need to get it classified as an RV or mobile home park? Or multifamily if the homes aren't on wheels? 

Please let me know your thoughts and any other considerations I should look into. Trying to find creative/affordable ways to add some cash flow in this market. :)
