You'll have all of the information, which will make them happy.You will also want to check out this Tiny Home PDF from the City of St Petersburg. 

Bryce is brand new to the area with his cool tiny cabin.  

I've had great success with Airbnb and VRBO with two Short Term Rentals which are tiny houses on wheels. 

Or outside the city limits and able to put another home, mobile home, tiny home, etc.

A person may let a tiny corner of the back yard go, but if you have a lien on their driveway you have some real leverage. 

HI Joshua, if you have a rental property right now, I'd suggest spending a tiny bit of money to speak with a tax/cpa attorney to get the right advice for you.  

I think I would be more focused on why the population is declining and over what period is that happening. 3k is a tiny town if there isn't a larger town feeding that town's growth nearby. 

@Will Foster I found a place that had been converted from oil rig housing (on skids) to a very cute tiny house.

ok so first of all thanks all who responded to my first post, the rent vs mortgage decision, im on the hunt and going to purchase something, im looking at two options, i wouldnt consider them deals lol, this is hawaii, im looking at option one single fam fixer upper needs quite a bit of work, but much cheaper and a much more manageable monthly payment for me good location and neighborhood could possibly add small ADU but lot is tiny, second option, a larger turn key home freshly renovated, has two units able to rent separate, with the ability to add ADU down the line, but monthly payment is nearly double or more, renting one unit living in other could help offset, but still left with higher monthly due to high rate on bank statement loan since i dont qualify for jump conventional loan on that bigger option.

In 2020 I got the first "tiny house" -212 sq ft home on wheels that could be hooked up to utilities, put on a foundation, etc. legalized as an ADU in San Mateo CO.
