Where I am going with this is I see Austin, Dallas, and Houston and think okay expensive or maybe already boomed (not sure if overvalued as Austin is a tiny city and everyone and their mom is moving there) and SA is finally hitting its stride.

Currently have a property listed near me that has a few acres with a house only 600 sq ft that needs decent amount of work but can be done, houses have been selling fast near me and over priced but this property they are asking top dollar where I'm sure people are over looking since they only see the need to knock down and rebuild a bigger house, my question is, does anyone currently having luck with renting tiny houses?

Looking at a small house where rent in the area for apartments are 650 they are asking 160000 does come with 10 acres of land I figured rent would be the same or could get a little extra since it's a house instead of an apartment and also was thinking some people like tiny house themes so could go that way also was wondering how to work the numbers to know what offer would make it work?

That is almost 7 times my cost.When the cost to rent an apartment went from $950 to $2100 and grocery stores more than doubled the cost for food and even made packagea of food one-third smaller and I just put gas into my 21-year old Volkswagen today and the cost was $4.99 per gallon and the cost to fill that tiny tank was $65, then I suppose all workers need to get their pay increased by 200% to 300% so they can barely survive.

I was thinking of leaving out 2 of the 3 bedrooms (only doing the master), mainly because the one is tiny and would be cramped with more than a bed. 

The title insurance your Mortgage company bought may not help you at all.Now from a different perspective, if the part in another county is a tiny corner of your lot with just a few square ft. 

Does anyone have experience with erecting manufactured, modular, prefab, tiny/micro homes etc here in northern CA?

I agree like others have said that it depends on the level of involvement you want in running the property, STR is a lot like buying a tiny hotel and will require more management but has the upside of potentially more profit if purchased in the right area and run properly.

If the market regresses substantially and if I was forced to reduce rents, I could still be making a tiny, undesirable cash over cash return.

Think it's just me, but I'm fascinated by affordable tiny houses and shipping container homes.
