I want to learn from experience investors that are willing.  

Hey @Preet Oberoi, so a tiny home like you are describing isn't real estate but more of an RV.I would get with a CPA like others have said to get the skinny on the deductions.

Not an easy thing, but saving 20% or more on the cost of a new home seems well worth the time and effort if you ask me.
