Hey, I don't do commercial real estate but I could connect you with a person who does here in town and they might be able to help.  

I am from Buffalo and the only tiny homes, that I know of, are in the ski town of Ellicottville about an hour south of Buffalo.

Will Long Beach become the new hip beach town? 

Depending on how upscale your finishes really were, you could have that built in this market for 300 to 325 per square foot fairly easily right now.

Meet a lot of people, build trust with them over time, after your have built up a lot of trust and they are seeing you as an expert in the space, ask them for an investment.  

We built a BEAUTIFUL Mailchimp account and sent out half a dozen Wholesale properties, only to get flagged and our account 'Deactivated' after sending one 'Private Lender' email campaign. 

If things work out with this 2nd company, and I have one operating rental in place of two empty lots in North Port, I'll be happy(ish). ya I built 3 up in the Ocala area took way longer but they got done and we did make a very small profit on them but I count that as being very fortunate.

The only concern we run into is occasional foundation issues near the river, towards the south east side of town.

Quote from @Laura Morlock: I have an opportunity to purchase a very beautiful and unique property - striking century manor house directly on the river, 1.5 acres, huge detached garage/workshop, in a quaint little town 15 mins to two major cities and a little under an hour west of Toronto.I know the property inside and out, it's turnkey, and I would love to own it, but I don't know what to do with it.

I’m at a stage where I’ve built a small portfolio and now I need partners/investors in order to continue my rate of growth.
