I live outside the USA so that my money stretches further, I have better food, better lifestyle and I am out of the rat race in the USA.

Danko (Author)It’s people who live a fairly conservative lifestyle and while they own  mundane type businesses or work professional type jobs (or high paying blue collar jobs) put aside a good amount of income for investment.  

If the tiny home is more like a medium home (600+ sqft) on a foundation, then you should be able to look at it as a "stick built" or normal home, just small.

They normally don't last long.

Normally 2/1 entire apartments in area go $1600-2100 ranges so these were surprisingly high for just bedrooms.

Is this normal?

If you really don’t want to pay your agent, even though it sounds like they’re lowering their normal commission to make it work, then follow the terms of your buyer broker contract to exit, usually not buying anything within the time frame or if both sides agree to a termination.

Normally at minimum an appraisal is required to verify the remaining collateral is sufficient.

Normally I would remove this post as self promotion- the original poster is a lender.

Especially nowadays, we're back to normal investing.
