Hi, I was wondering, if you guys have to make the choice about doing your first real estate development from a piece of land, in which city outside USA you’ll go and why ?

Too few details to answer (Of course this varies county by county, all questions could be answered by reading the (zoning)/building code and/or clarified with a visit to the county planning office).but some clarifications because: lots of things are "tiny homes" but what you describe small houses "on permanent foundations" needs to be clarified , tiny homes could be:-stick built, see below. check your county code/planning dept-stick built cabins/recreational, a specific zoning and potential occupancy/etc restrictions but worth looking into where the zoning allows for it -hud manufactured homes (smaller singlewide perhaps 400sq ft 600sq ft minimum)-non-hud park models (on axles), ansi standards- other "RV's" built on a chassis:  organizations, state agencies, etc - will certify factory built (or sometimes inspected professional built) tiny homes on chassis - to whatever standards ansi, riva, dot/ l&i?

The remaining principal was about $450,000; the stated interest rate was 11%, and the note had 8 years to run with a balloon.
