Anyone planning to put a tiny home on any property in California should be aware of the latest clarification issued by the State which include very strict definitions of what a tiny house is, its size, how its manufactured, building standards, maintenance, location...The state plans to enforce and prosecute "pursuing the appropriate legal remedies to terminate sales, rentals or occupancies."

What do they see them selling for per unit, what is the market occupancy rate.

Current occupancy level?

@Michael FureyIf it's not actually going to be your primary residence, you should not use an owner occupant loan.

Even if it's the seller's idea to refuse an offer based upon these things, the agent—by law—cannot.Does the area have something (neighborhood improvement, etc.) going on that is targeting owner occupants?

What's the occupancy rate like?

Once we leave in two years, or even in one year of occupancy, we plan to keep the home as a rental if it makes financial sense; otherwise, we may sell depending on the feasibility and profitability.

Would need to know the NOI, but based on 80% occupancy, $500/door rent, and assuming you profit 40% of revenue, I think your assessment is close at 20-25k/door.

Downtown Cleveland apartment occupancy climbs, office supply shrinks due to conversions (photos)I'm not in a position to take advantage of the downtown office situation, but this article really helped me see what you all are saying about the cycle.  

What is appropriate is a properly constructed package built on a solid commercial policy form with the ability to offer appropriate coverage for assets under any stage of occupancy or renovation, a simple monthly reporting format with no minimum earned premiums, the ability to waive co-insurance requirements, with no location limits, with the ability to insure multiple controlling entities, offer coverage in all 50 states, special form coverage with theft and vandalism and the ability to actually reduce premiums incrementally by aggregating locations, just to name a few little things.Hope this helps.
