How to build a Tiny Home Development?

[Tony Guarino]

Has anyone looked into developing tiny homes? My curiosity with tiny homes is driven by a few economic factors, mainly affordability, but want to look into some type of BTR model. 

I initially ran the numbers assuming you buy the 'Lego set' from Home depot for $50,000 each, but realized those would technically be considered manufactured housing. Therefore you would need to be zoned for a MHP. However, while at the local watering hole, someone proposed, "what if you build them on site and fix them to the ground". Therefore, they are just tiny homes, not tiny manufactured homes and could build them in any residential lot - assuming there are no restrictions about minimums. 

Anyone explore this or have anyone they can recommend that has done something like this before? Is it possible or have I spent too much time at the watering hole?
