the places i called are individual stores on the side of the road or in an industrial complex with not much traffic. i thought they would be under 1k for a tiny counter like the one i need. i have not found an individual dealer/installer with rock bottom prices.i agree that 700 more is worth it for a flip, but does not make much sense for a rental unless it's higher end. taking a laminate off and replacing a cabinet is a breeze compared to breaking the granite to get to the problem.

Some developer-owners are building multifamily to the Passive House energy standard, paying tenant utilities, charging as if energy efficient, sending a tiny fraction to the power company, and banking the rest.

None of my tiny boxes come close to that. 

I’m considering installing a set of coin-operated washer/dryer machines in the basement common area, 1) to make the units more appealing to renters, and 2) to make a tiny little bit of side money from the machines.

Based on some other bigger pockets posts talking about the Big Bear area, you probably want to go small/cheap (tiny inexpensive condo or house) or big (high occupancy house).  

Me and my friend met up with some older guys who are carpenters and they showed us a tiny home they built from slabs of wood they cut themselves.

I live on a tiny island called Curacao.

In some places, tiny, starter homes are $400K. 

Feeling responsible for other tiny humans?

At this stage in the notes game/economic cycle/whatever you want to call it, generally speaking — forgetting the pure dumb luck cicrumstances and other needle in a haystack situations — generally speaking, it sounds like notes investing is analogous to fishing for tiny fish in a big pond.
