My fear is that the Tiny Home movement might be more of a fad and reflective of our economy.  

We never help install them for fear that something goes wrong and their TV falls off.

With rent control and just-cause evictions, I fear it's not a worthwhile endeavor.

People dishing out crap advice or proposing ridiculous limitations are speaking from positions of fear.

Fear based management.5.

No reason to fear an audit because of home office.And this silly self-rent trick does not work. 

agree with the other comment, different markets are doing different things. also, "be greedy when others are fearful." what people might be afraid of is, lots of commercial ARMs coming up on their rate adjustments, & the new rates (compared to 5y ago when they first purchased) will kill their cashflow, so they'll sell, and if everyone is doing this at once, supply might outweigh demand, everyone has to sell for less than they planned, and everyone who hangs on to their similar properties gets to recalculate their estimated mkt value with the new going cap rates. i don't personally think this is going to cause as insane of a shift as some people do, but it's all speculative, we won't know til it happens. if you can find a deal that pencils with 30y fixed debt, do it. 

I try to be cordial and brief, but his issues have become increasingly bothersome.He now believes he is the victim of a serious crime, often calling to tell me the police are coming over (which they never do), or asking if I see a specific car on the street because he fears they are there to harm him.

As interest & insurance rates have risen, it makes it much harder to meet these types of checks.At the end of the day, people are more fearful than greedy so now is the time to be greedy. 

Just as you talked about "not skimping on your numbers" to make something work, you can also be inflating your numbers to make it not work out of fear or who knows.
