If you have the chance to make your tiny home pet-friendly that always helps attract a broader segment of the population and keeps occupancy rates higher.

There's a property available in our area with a tiny home on about a half acre that we could afford to buy outright using money from our HELOC. 

where you could find a tiny 2 bed for just slightly above your budget, but you would be able to get rent about 50% higher than the areas you mentioned. 

Quality over quantity.

I know a few developers that did those tiny home clusters and the market did not accept them.. not enough parking and just to small.. your new builds are priced about the same as ours in suburbs of PDX not the top suburb but average price suburb sans basement no one builds basements unless its HIGH end lux home and you need it to get extra sq. ft..

I might just be a tiny bit contrarian because closings can be very stressful and I hope you can get a small vacation (just not at your new home right now).

They have free evaluations for both product -  I would run the same searches and see what you get (quantity, accuracy, etc.).

I prefer quality over quantity, so Im ok with this. 

I'm looking for quality not quantity.
