OK, I'm going to ask about the other aspects of your plans.
So why do you want an MBA, and what school ?

Our county prohibits mobile homes (unless in a mobile home park), and the tiny home on wheels may be classified as such. They also enforce no "rentals" on the same property as single family homes (SFH). Here, you need to have a lot that is zoned "multi-family" before having more than a SFH. So, the tiny home in the back yard rental would not be allowed. (We live in a semi-rural area next to a medium sized city).
A trip to your county offices would get you the answers you need to stay legal.
Interesting idea, though.
This was kinda my thoughts. Many places would not allow 2 separate dwellings on a single lot depending on what that lot is zoned for.
Have you considered the financial differences from your current plan to just staying in the one side of the duplex while the house is being built and not spending the money on a second dwelling on the new lot?

Building a tiny home costs way too much. Find a used travel trailer on craigslist for under 10k (make sure the fridge works and the roof is intact). Use it for 2-4 years, and sell if for almost as much as you paid for it. If you really do intend to get an MBA, then you should be smart enough to know that you do not want tenants on the same property as your dream home. And, I would not expect, in SAC, that you'll be able to rent an airbnb 15-20 nights per month. Even if you could, do you really want to wash that many sheets, as a proud holder of an MBA?
This is really interesting and just what I was looking for. I never even considered an rv or a travel trailer and then selling it. I wa thinking of having it long term etc. if I wanted to out a unit in the back later I could always do that but super nice RV are around 40 instead of like 65/75 for the time home. Granted the other would be long term.
Only challenge would be hooking up to sewer and water in the front of the house. Since we were thinking of installing the tiny home in the back permanently that was going to be part of our building plans to run utilities. There is room to park it in the front but essentially adding rv hookups may not work for the city. Area on the side of the house is too small to drive it to the back
I don't think I would go the "Used FEMA trailer" route though, I know a lot of them had formaldehyde issues (perhaps they were remedied? I really don't know).
