With that being said, I now have the itch to build my portfolio and have the opportunity to buy my sister’s tiny house which she currently lives in.

Not sure about other locales but here in Oregon if a tenant *applies* for assistance they are protected from eviction while the application is being processed  Also if a housing provider applied for funds the tenant is protected from eviction while the application is being processed Here in Oregon something like 27,000 households have applied.

Take that with a tiny grain of salt.

We have six children and this house holds a ton of memories.

in the scenario presented that 26k is really far less than that given the refi cost of title escrow lender fees  etc etc.. pretty expensive to refi with such a tiny amount of equity from that property.  

They will recommend only good people to me when I ask and they will have their finger on the pulse of availability/progress and also get the word out that I am a good person to work for.If I were you I would look around your house/units and see all the household/tool/etc. things you may need or want and then I would go down to Kovarik True Value Hardware (just did a search), introduce yourself, ask to open an account, buy some items and explain your needs...

Hey there,My girlfriend and I recently started and LLC with the intention of buying land and putting in a tiny house and/or flipping houses.

Validate your findings with Craigslist and by calling some apartment buildings in the area.At the same time you need to know what the median household income is per the city and the sub markets/zip codes within it.

It’s not accurate to use median household income to measure affordability.

Triplexes are going to be harder to find but I’m of the mind that you should go as big and expensive as possible since debt is cheap and you are (assuming) a dual income high earning household.
