STR's, tiny homes and a starting a tiny home community (Oregon)?

[Chris Blackburn]

Toying around with the idea of starting a smaller STR-(tiny home on foundation) community in Oregon. (Salem, McMinnville, Silverton, Sisters, Dundee, Bend, Pacific City, Neskowin) (Suggestions?). (There is one in bend- but they are selling the lots) Pretty cool, 500+/- sq ft with a lot of common area. Look at/ Google 8 Hiatus Cottage, Bend, OR 97702. I have considered ordering 10-12 different models of larger tiny homes so people could try before they buy and enjoy some of the great small towns in the Willamette Valley. Essentially these would be built on commercial property and zoned as a hotel for compliance or- If I can find it- Zone as a RV park. The density could be 20 units per acre (less since it needs to have common space). I think it would be a mix and match of stick built tiny homes and some of the nicer models of the THOW- (Extra wide- 1 move) and maybe some of the prefabs- Think- idea box- (in salem oregon), Stillwater Design, Method. This would really help these companies as well- letting their customers experience what life in a small home is like. Given the right venue- it would be a very positive experience. No business plan fully vetted- A well run STR project could product great returns if it was well managed and designed. Hit me with any of your suggestions, comments or opinions or ways to improve the idea. I like the synergy of of supporting our wine industry, building industry, tourism industry and making Oregon a better experience for everyone.
