I did take responsibility as the way I went about it was problematic, and now that I have been through it, I will be going about investing with anyone in a more cautious manner.

My concern is; it is a more rural property and comps might be hard to come by.

May be a more proactive approach to finding someone that can help with that guidance you are looking for.

I am hoping to find a more simple / crude (maybe) way to engineer a deal that simply holds the final sale until after the owner's title converts to the irrevocable trust, but based on the terms agreed to today. 

But it does lend a tone of seriousness to the deal, and can help both parties negotiate in a more constructive fashion." 

I would be curious to see what a more expensive and more permanent home does for the ability to lease that land back to occupants.Would you be building the tiny homes and selling them or keeping them as a rental?

I personally wouldn't want to purchase bad assets, even if favorable creative financing was offered and I am confident I can accomplish more buying assets in a more traditional transaction than hunting down the unicorns.  

It's far less comfortable day to day having roommates vs your own side of a duplex, but it would allow you to own an asset in a more desirable neighborhood that will likely see greater appreciation over the long term.I hope that helps.

Many of the quads are brick, the stairwells are usually larger (helpful in getting a fridge or furniture up), and you just have a more solidly built structure to work with. 

This may only work in a place like Colorado where there is a more established tiny home community and the people are generally a little "crunchier", but if you paid down the homes as fast as possible you could have a real cash cow.
