Which lead to the 2nd, that I made a tiny bit better on.

First thongs first, talk to an investor-friendly lender so you van get a better idea of all available programs you personally qualify for and that will give you a good idea of where and what to look for.

The most ridiculous thing I've done is turn a 40 ft school bus into a tiny house in order to free up our primary to be our 8th rental unit if I can pull it off ;-).

The problem with renting in LA- the rent controlled are now fewer and farther between and when they do exist in the valley they are small and sometimes with only 1 parking spot. 2 bedrooms in the valley are now over $2100 a month for a tiny bedroom, is making it harder to justify renting over buying with $100k down and a under $500k townhome. 

A tiny little suburb of Cincinnati?

I owned 2 different B&Bs and both of them had a tiny room where there was just really enough room for a queen sized bed and to move around both sides of it.

I’d rather spend the extra 2-5k and build a stick built tiny home. 

Do you plan to give the tenant a tiny slice of equity in the home in lieu of a credit since you are making them in a sense contribute towards these upgrades in a small way?!?

I have worked on a few tiny houses and these are used successfully all of the time.

But since I'd be adding square footage, the city will require me to replace the tiny one car garage with a two car and have room for the proper driveway turn outs.
