I want to buy / build 3 to 5 units / tiny homes on the land.

This is the least desirable for me because it is in the least desirous area and on a tiny lot.

I'm saying this as someone that's trying to help: you're not going to be able to buy in this market unless you add just a tiny bit of risk to your process (not that this deal even requires risk.

I have had tenants install them on the sides of the building where there were wooden beams, and one guy just put one basically on the ground next to the house.

Make your unit nice and charge a tiny bit under market and you'll drastically reduce the time you spend hunting for someone.Good luck!  

It depends on your local fashions, of course, but you don't see too many wooden counter tops these days. 

Fir Cedar and on the east side of the moutains Pinesome hard wood but mainly alder with a tiny bit of Oak.. nothing much else in Hardwood.So we of course have all the big dimension stud lumber mills.. they all have log buyers.. so we contact a log buyer to get their delivered log prices.. then we know that we can log for about 250 per MBF camp run to the mill.And then we know for example right now domestic fir is bringing 800 per MBF camp run which is pretty much an all time high... so we know there is a 550 delta.. now then you have stumpage.. the land owner will want a stumpage price for the logs which is generally about 200 to 300 per MBF  leaving a net profit of 200 to 350... now some will do all this for a 50 to 100 MBF net profit.. just depends on the stand.. 

The low down payment is great, but if you don't cash flow your COC return will be tiny.

And agents are so scared of losing their precious account, they wont stray outside the 'FNMA agent handbook' even a tiny bit.

Same with tiny homes  built on trailers .
