I'd go for the best location, ideally, but without a strong compromise on your funds.

To answer the title of your post, selling fsbo can be a good idea if:- you have experience selling RE- you price the home to sell- you have systems in place to collect inquiries and facilitate showings i.e. call center/email/google forms for screening inquiries, showing agent, lockbox, security alarm, etc. - you have dozens of local agents who can market the property for you and bring you a buyer- you are listing in a desirable area with low-inventory - you are not in a rush to sell

Located in a promising area of Richland, MO, the home was a blank slate for value-driven improvements.

There is also the lending field which is quite lucrative if your more into financecommercial real estate if some day you want to be doing bigger deals and making 6 figure commissions checks.. etc etc.to try to start your business as a flipper or wholesaler is tough and it has a 95% failure rate being that it appeals to the mass's of which many frankly don't have the skills to succeed or the financing behind them.OR converselyMake money at your chosen profession save and buy and hold.. buy the best you can hold for long term.. same with buying securities .

To pick a location, I understand I want to evaluate median income, a large population of those approaching retirement age, and a decently dense population.

Just curious if you mean that the tiny home itself is the draw, or the area in which the tiny home is located is the draw.

After a month of renovations, I listed it on the market on November 19th and secured a tenant with a lease starting on December 10th.

The location really caught our eye—close to Uptown Charlotte, which is always a hot area.
