I have been working for 27 months on launching a business that offers education, experiences and sales of small houses. Of course the small houses are considered RV's yet that is just to get past city code. These are real manufactured houses that are built onto a steel frame; they look and feel like a real house and they have a room, kitchen and bathroom. Anyone involved with the tiny market should know that you can not get mortgage financing on an RV because they can be moved and are not considered permanent residences. Although buying these housing solutions have several steps to the process, they are affordable and sustainable solutions. So, to really get started with selling, land solutions need to be available. In Austin the infrastructure has been building over the last two years. I am interested in proving the concept, showing people that living in a small house at 1/6th of a traditional house cost is a great move for many to live. I have found a few small lots that are legal to transform into a tiny house hotels, "try before you buy" locations. How does one get a loan or a partner to invest in land/developments? Does this sound like an attractive business model? The market is the newly named boomtown of Austin, Texas. We have a fantastic website, team and demonstration house that people schedule to see inside and learn about daily. This business model has four streams of income: land lists are sold via the Internet, tiny house consultations are provided, small house overnight experiences are offered and of course small house solutions are sold Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Tiny houses under 400' are legal by way of code, the answer is yes in Austin. The initiative was passed in 2015 to allow any resident that has a lot larger than 5250 square feet to legally install an ADU or Granny Flat on their land to help offset the rise in property tax. Essentially they let the home owner pay the city to hook them to the grid. Opens up many business opportunities with selling smaller houses.

Hi, I am in Austin exploring opportunities with pocket developments and tiny house sales. Would love to chat about investments, properties, land Etc. Shay Reynolds

Hi Patrick, I am from Austin. Just getting into investing by way of tiny house communities/RV parks. We are pushing to start a new category here with small house sales, tiny house development and RV park conversions. We will likely start in Austin and head North towards Dallas. Any interest in this outside the box concept?

Yikes. Feels like I am being watched. Not sure a response to this thread was necessary. Learning from others may be the ways since the explains ruin of the platform is confusing.

Matt, I am happy that you said something. This network is confusing and I have experienced similar. You are not crazy just keep posting.

Does anyone have experience with developing a tiny house community and rental rates? What are the advantages/disadvantages to leasing our tiny houses? Should I divide the land or set up as a RV park and lease spaces by the month? What other concerns should I be aware of before opening the community? Is a neighborhood association necessary?
