Probably depends on the location and part of town if neighbors care or notice. 

Hey, I don't do commercial real estate but I could connect you with a person who does here in town and they might be able to help.  

so comparing miami to ohio or kansas or iowa is very wrong in my own opinion, because you are comparing diet coke with unsweetened tea, once the economy created its own pattern of success , comparing it to other town would not be accurate becoz the methodology of understanding the phenomenon has not been researched yet.like california is now the strongest market in usa although price wise it is the second highest and huge pop declines.

I am from Buffalo and the only tiny homes, that I know of, are in the ski town of Ellicottville about an hour south of Buffalo.

Unfortunately, I'll be out of town on this one, but happy to connect over the phone anytime.

Will Long Beach become the new hip beach town? 

Quote from @Laura Morlock: I have an opportunity to purchase a very beautiful and unique property - striking century manor house directly on the river, 1.5 acres, huge detached garage/workshop, in a quaint little town 15 mins to two major cities and a little under an hour west of Toronto.I know the property inside and out, it's turnkey, and I would love to own it, but I don't know what to do with it.

Maybe it's a small town and there are very few homes available to rent and there are several families that would rent there if there were available homes in their price range. 

However often the properties are not really in the better parts of town and don't always attract the best tenants.I've always thought real estate is not as passive as people will make you think and maybe the buyers want. 

The only concern we run into is occasional foundation issues near the river, towards the south east side of town.
