Secondly, tiny homes promote a minimalist lifestyle, encouraging reduced consumption and a greater appreciation for experiences over material possessions.

It normally doesn't cost you any money to open and to be able to access that large amount of equity to buy or stabalize your current portfolio allows you so much more opportunity costs.For instance, I took a $200K LOC out on my primary residence when I first started in real estate.

And even tougher to get it financed.. from what I can see the only folks that build new are subsidized housing in some manner or  big tax credit plays something other than normal economics.

All normal emotions for going through the tedious construction process. 

Currently, I am looking at Hemlame for local, I tried to use them for an out-of-state investment property, but the cost with an agent would end up far greater than a full-service property manager.The dream option would combine all accounting, bill pay, rent collection, provide eviction services, and maintenance coordination outside of normal hours.

Is it normal that a Turnkey provider doesn't allow you to send your contractor to check the house before closing ?

There are some exceptions, but the HOA dues normally kill your returns and there are all kinds of other issues having tenants living close together. 

They post their rooms on the normal hotel, discount site, etc.

If it is a normal occurrence I would be concerned, connect with local boots on the ground before doing anything out of emotion. 

@Marie CopulHunker down and pare down your lifestyle expenses as much as possible so you can replace what you need as quickly as possible.I did have a client take down a 57 unit mixed use apartment deal that added $1.1M to his net worth and $180k a year in cash flow in 12 months but those types of results are not typical.However, some type of commercial real estate would be my suggestion and one where you are driving the ship so you keep most if not all the equity.I have some ideas for you and would be happy to talk you through them.
