Does anyone have knowledge on Tiny Homes as a rental strategy?

I've seen the trend on Tiny Home communities and would love to learn about permitting, zoning, cost estimating, financing... etc.  Expertise/interest is welcome! I'm looking at a property that comes with land zoned for commercial so I'm wondering what would it take...

    I built 6 tiny homes in a campground that I owned.  The biggest misconception is that they are cheap to build because the square footage is so low.  Wrong the cost per square foot goes up drastically. I built these in 2018 the cost to build a run of the mill home was around $100/sf and it cost me $150 with no builder mark ups. The good thing was they were very efficient.  Utilities ran around $50 a month for all electric.  I tried long term rental and Airbnb and they were always full. I built just outside of town in a rural community so there were no permitting issues.
