STR - Tiny Cabins, Creative Financing and Land Options

[Allison Skelcy]

Hi all!

I am in the midst of hashing out the last few legs of my business plan. In short, the business will consist of placing 3-5 nordic-styled tiny homes on some land (TBD) in Northern Michigan. When it comes to financing both the construction and land purchase (the tiny homes are manufactured in a Chicago warehouse, but will be permanently affixed to the land as a stick-built), what have your best experiences been to get that done? 

Looking at just shy of $450,000 for land purchase + home purchases + site work to get her up and running. 

And on a related note...does anyone have any GREAT RE agents they'd recommend in Northern Michigan, with a focus on vacant land/acreage? The few I've spoken with are just not going to get the job done.
