Tempe is a different story and location means everything.

My name is Geoff Husa, born and raised in Phoenix area (Tempe/Chandler).

It's a high elevation property with 9 months of below-zero temps, it's remote at the end of a long dirt road, no hot tub maintenance companies service the area and I rarely go there personally to service one etc.

Better left as "temporary structures", like rvs or mobile homes.As others have stated tiny home movement is not just about being cheap, but high end small, including the appearance.I think you can garner a ton of support for a solution to homeless, and maybe not so much just trying to sell these to end users.Another thought would be selling these to the oil industry, perfect for rig/ oilpatch  temp housing.

In Tempe, AZ I was able to obtain $4200 monthly for a 1850 SF 2 BR condo, while the rental rate unfurnished was around $2800 - $3000.  

Any property on mls in Tempe is 400k and above... even if you get a place for 300k and rent it out for $2100 a month it seems like a bad deal for cash flow.  

Using the price cut or even a further credit from the seller... could secure you a 3,2,1 temp buydown which would get you high 3's low 4's rate for first year.if you'd like to ask questions or talk more plz DM

Tempe is nice since it houses a major university and there are no shortage of renters in the area.

Found out that they can't do the concrete work until the temps rise to at least 40 degrees, which means I will need to do one of two things either issue a credit at closing or take care of it for the new owners when the weather is warmer.A few pictures:

I live in Kelowna for a year and it does not get that cold so for regular temps I would just do 32 degrees then double the small number  IE 8 C  =  2X 8  = 16 plus 32 gets you to 48 FAH.. that's pretty close.. and for klicks I just used 60% or so.so 100klicks about 60 miles or so..
