What Are the 4 Exit Ramps?
We call it that here at The Tiny Home Plug, but look at Development with 4 opportunities to make a return while playing in the dirt and crafting a vision. In development, there are ways to create a profit and ethical return for yourself and your partners involved.

If you are buying the land, we have had clients raise capital, set aside the feasibility Study fee so they can sell the property for more without tying up the property with unnecessary engineering fees and a solid plan for their buyer.
Papering & Prep for Dev
Preparing the lot and discussing with the local city where the property is, we need to plan out every single way the project could fail FIRST. We have reverse engineer the failures into success and create back up plans to original ideas.
Dirt Work & Build Prep
We go through the city approvals and soil testing preliminaries to ensure the best path forward, providing you with up to 3 paths of success with the property and counter balance it with underwriting. Everything has to pencil!
Build to Sell or Rent
When you build to sell or to rent, everything revolves around WHO will be the tenants, buyers and what does the community around the property have to say about it? Because they will tell you, better to find out now and plan ahead.
.1
Acquistion, Appraisel, and sale to the next person
.2

.3
entitle and/or get shovel ready with dirt work or pads
.4

What Asset Class & Demographic Are Your Main Focus Right Now?
We always want to make sure we have an absolute clear picture of who your business model is built around, currently. Location is just as important as zoning, construction methods, contractors, zoning and the list goes on when it comes to invisible variables.
We usually do developments from conceptual design to complete construction, but we are doing something new for 2025. We’ve broken down the sprints on what Development Projects are when they looked at from high level.
Which number does your project and goal fall under?
What Are ALL of the Things We Handle in a Feasibility Study for Your Project?
Everyone has their own definition of what a Feasibility Study includes, and what we are not going to do is leave you “high and dry” with bloated engineering fees so your project pencils from every exit strategy for the next buyer you have in your pipeline for purchase.
Where We Shine The Most is…
We are NOT your one-size fits all, despite our flexibility on projects. There is an old saying, “How do you tell the good lawyers from the bad lawyers? The good lawyers don’t take on loser cases they can’t win.” The same goes for development projects and being realistic with your goals, vision, and capabilities.
Project Structuring
Nothing matters unless you have the right structure. Despite any cool ideas or great ambitions you my have, without the right structure – every thing you do will implode and this includes how you plan to presell to get topline revenue coming in for your sake and for the sake of others.
Flat Fee Feasibility Studies
As a vertically integrated outfit, we wanted to make sure you had a product to help you unpack any mystery you may have with land you own or are in the middle of due diligence on. Avoid the unnecessary change orders, and engineering fees so you can price the exit strategy without bloated fees involved.
Exit Strategy Security
Preselling and coordinate buyers for the exit strategy is a walk in the park for us to bring others to the table when it comes to land deals. We want to make sure we see the “light at the end of the tunnel” with you so we can help in the preselling, and buyer coordination if it makes sense.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, we also handle value add project with existing structures, but we have been known to work with land for 90% of our projects. The asset classes we like ot play with is Undeveloped Land, Wedding venues with a lot of land, 1/4 – 100 acre tracts of land. However the land is purposed, we will unpack and explore the business model to make sure the development targets make sense with the forecasted cashflow.
Absolutely not, but the name is catchy right?
Here is why…. Tiny Homes sound cool until it i time to make sure comps, cost of construction, use for financing, and the exit strategy often dont make sense unless it is an RV application, micro home community use, and even then – it can go either way, good or bad. Often times, we explore duplexes, quadplexes, or creating a community with the primary residence as the starting model home and getting creative with the septic system for the sake of density.
We are all over the southeast and having a blast. We are always open to working on projects as long as the numbers make sense.

Yes we do, but we always rely on the primary funding sources for the clients and their personal underwriting requirements. We only bring our resources to the table as a “last resort” option. In no way is a clint who is wanting a feasibility study performed is to ever rely on The Tiny Home Plug for the success of their project. It is mission critical to understand this considering any and all projects are based on the client’s competency and never to rely on 3rd party sources as a 3rd party sources have their own requirements. Any resources provided or facilitated by The Tiny Home Plug team is strictly a “facilitation”, and never positioned as a guarantee of funding. However, when The Tiny Home Plug team is involved, the chances of funding dramatically increase from our experience in being invovld with positioning projects for funding with our feasibility studies.
We will do our best to plan ahead for the fires, but we will always adjust the plans if need be when they are in the preliminary stages of the feasibility study or after they have transitioned to the formal design and construction stages.
No idea, yet. We will need to get on a call after you submit your project information to better evaluate the level of challenge, however there is nothing we can’t do… it is simply a matter of “Is it worth it to you or not?”.
No. If e gave you numbers before doing the feasibility study, then you would have very impartial numbers and not the true information you will need for funding, city presentation and etc.
Absolutely! Grab a time with our team and lets talk further!
You will be 98% to the point of being able to build. However they will NOT be construction approved plans, and here is why…. What if you need to make a change?
Well, we don’t hit you with a change order to make THAT adjustment. We simple make the adjustments to the preliminary plans and then represent them to the city and ensure the formal design contract reflects the new updates and you have a solid construction schedule in front of you to go off of.
We cover ALOT, but depending on the project you want to tackle, it vary from City Representation, Preliminary Site Design and Layout, Project & Logistics Management, Complete Contractor Coordination / Costing / Forecasting, City Representation and Approvals, FEMA Resolutions, Zoning Solutions & Challenges, Civil Engineering Solutions, Land Planning, Plot Mapping, Full Construction Costing, and so much more!
Yes, absolutely!
Absolutely NOT. Both products are the right answer for the right person, but the main differentiator is the Modular Stick Frame Homes are, majority of times, going on permanent foundations to appreciate in value; while Manufactured Homes come with a VIN Number and go on a temporary foundation and depreciate in value.
Modular appreciates in value, while manufactured homes depreciate in value. One is accepted by the city more openly compared to the other being a challenge with NIMBY issues. Affordable Housing comes in many forms!
No. It is a different product and helps people get approved with financing easier via a chattel loan compared to needing to go through traditional financing routes for factory Built Stick frame home.
Yes, but in the form of brainstorming and never to prescribe advice considering we would need to perform a feasibility study for me and my teams to diagnose the real root of issues.
Yes, absolutely! We actually recommend you just let us represent you at the city level. We do that in the feasibility study as well.
Totally doable,, we just to make sure things like parking, retention ponds, easements, septic / sewage, and anything not mentioned ehre is covered that would prevent that from happening as the smoothest path to success for you.
Book a time with our team and we can provide you with the most accurate deliverable sand commitments depending on your project.
