@Guy Gimenez  on the West coast specifically CA Or WA  were I am licensed you MUST disclose your a broker on ANY advertising you do  that's RE 101  I find it difficult to believe that any state would allow a licensed agent to not disclose that in their marketing.Now granted many do this with teeny tiny writing and that works.

Your unit size is microscopic, telling yourself "many are just like this" is only making excuses for yourself, small is small, and that's tiny. 

Much is made about off-grid tiny homes.  

Sounds like you’re not wanting to DIY, and like I believe Gary said $13k seems off the chart, especially for a tiny little bathroom.

In very very tiny print said something about a credit booster but never not once said anything about what we needed to do on a credit booster but we could move forward in buying a house.

If my choice is to stop investing and keep working my W2 forever or keep investing and risk playing a tiny role in a larger societal problem, I'm going with the latter.

I have a opportunity to purchase a tiny home that a co-worker and I worked on.

SW thats on the west/north side of the river is good, the tiny sliver of SW on the south/east side of the river not so much.The public housing in SW near the stadiums is an issue, and will likely remain so. 

Compared to what you did which was househack a small  multi and the absolute best way for someone to buy their first property full stop.while there will be sub to deals out there they will a a very tiny fraction of the RE market as a whole so your fishing in a bucket instead of the lake..

Our tiny cabin is located near Alki.
