Before this was a tool, it was a channel

I spent years filming people who built tiny stays, the ones that printed money and the one the county shut down. Same questions every time. So I built you the tool I wish they'd had.

Why this exists

Every step raises a question nobody answers straight.

You saved for years and bought the land. Now every step is a question, and the people who know the answer are the county clerks, the permit office, and the builder who wants your money.

Bought the land

Can I even build a rental on this?

Zoning, septic, setbacks buried in county PDFs

Picking a build

A-frame? Dome? Will any of it pay off?

Guessing at a five-figure decision blind

Getting permits

Who do I even call first?

Months lost standing in the wrong line

Going live

Why isn't it booking?

A listing lost in a sea of identical ones

What your report answers

Three questions, one report, your exact parcel.

These are the three questions between raw land and a booked rental: can you build it, what you should build, and how you get it permitted. The report answers all three for your address, with the numbers, not generic advice.

J. Espérance, who built Keep It Tiny Studio
Built by someone who's done it

Not a brand. A builder you already trust.

Keep It Tiny Studio grew out of a tiny-home channel that has spent years on the ground with the land, the builds, and the people running these rentals. The studio is that hard-won judgment, turned into software you can run on your own parcel.

“Everybody overbuilds their first one. A beautiful build you can't afford to finish books zero nights. Watch the build-cost line, not the nightly rate.” J. Espérance

Almost everyone who'll give you an answer about your land is selling you the build, the kit, or the loan. I'm not. I just want you to know what's true before you spend a dollar.
