The $70,000 California Tiny Home Dream Dies in California (Unless You Have an Agent Who Actually Does the Work)

The idea of a $70,000 California raw land parcel and a $70,000 tiny home feels like a $140,000 housing market hack. But is it? Often, cheap land is cheap for a reason. This guide breaks down the massive hidden infrastructure costs, strict zoning laws, and severe wildfire safety codes (Zone 0, Chapter 7A) that can legally kill a California tiny home project before you even write an offer. Don’t buy dirt you can’t live on.

Get Your Home Value

We all have different goals for moving. If you're going to sell; you might as well get what you want. That's what Brad & Karen Mattonen understood from the real estate market. With their expertise I asked Brad to scrutinize the property so I can do the necessary remodeling to get top dollar. It's not personal when home is where the heart is.Yes we hired out the work, we did some work ourselves and even our Real Estate Agent Brad got his hands dirty which I couldn't have asked for better help. The house was an investment property, which was being rented out by me and the previous owners. I've done necessary repairs throughout the years so I can tell you to look up the address of 2031 felicita road Escondido and make your own conclusion on what it takes to get top dollar from any market. I thank Brad & Karen Mattonen for their excellent performance. I would definitely use them again as I recommend them to You.Johnathan Fabela

Brad and Karen are great! Always very personable and highly communicative. They made themselves available everytime I had a question and showed a personal touch in all of our meetings and they helped us sell at what we were hoping for.I would look forward to working with them next time we're house hunting in San Antonio.Paolo B

Brad is an amazing guy. He is always in good spirits, enjoys and contributes to being a part of a team atmosphere and excels directives like no other. He is congenial; systems savvy and brings no ego to the equation. He wants to do the right thing and that has brought him much success. Holly M
