And if you are making a good COC return but the dollars per door are tiny that's no good.  

There's a tiny, 4-lot "park" I'm considering...Occupancy: 100%Rent: $160/lot (undervalued - should be $175 minimum)Taxes: $265/yearNot sure about insurance - what would I need?

Makes me look into the future obstacles now and say "One day, these will all be laughably tiny in my rearview mirror."

The money you're spending is a tiny amount compared to what the return is .

We put 20% down, did a tiny bit of cosmetic work, and have an interest rate of 4.85 or so.It may get me burned at the stake, but I am a fan of the 50% rule so I used it for estimating expenses.

Then just start taking tiny steps of action each day.I gotta say: JLD's Freedom Journal has been pretty dang helpful for me on the "action" front.

In 2005 we bought our first property, a tiny 1-bedroom condo (no garage, no yard) for the same price that my parents paid for their brand-new two-story 3475 sq. ft home complete with swimming pool/spa in the same county only 10 years earlier.

A lot of people are buying Tiny Houses.

but spending 25 bucks on a permit is tiny compared to the fines they charge you if you are caught.You will need some sort of stud, either wood or steel (check with local codes), 1/2 inch dry wall, sheetrock tape, bucket of mud, 1 inch,  and some bi fold doors.  

If a wood fence makes it to 10 years here that's pretty good (rot and termites love wooden fences).
