Austin Airbnb: Tiny Home/Detached ADU

[Devin Dang]

Hey BP fam,

Calling local Austin investors who have built either a tiny home on wheels or detached ADU in the back of their SF3 SFH to airbnb!

Would love to learn more about why you decided to choose one type of build over the other and how it's been for you. Working on a property over in East Riverside (78741) and meets all the criteria for an ADU build but its difficult to stay within the dwelling building lines in a way that isn't awkwardly placed in the yard.

Questions:

1. Does a tiny home on wheels have to conform to the same placement rules as an ADU that is attached to the foundation? (within dwelling building line, 10 ft from main building, ect.)

2. Have you or know anyone that has been approved by the city to shorten dwelling building lines?

Love to connect and learn more about your personal experience on this luxury style house hack/airbnb!!
