Tiny home/ landscape hotel permits & site planning

[Sean Bramble]

I am considering buying land to put up several unique structures, but need to first understand the process of obtaining the appropriate permissions, and site/ infrastructure planning & underwriting for the entire development.

Anyone have experience with this? Would love to chat with you if so! Just trying to understand the process I need to go through

Thanks everyone!

Following. Where you doing this? Broken Bow?

It's definitely a fun idea but it can take years to get through permitting something like that. If that doesn't bother you and your goal is to own a cool unique stay thing, great. But if your goal is just to build wealth by investing in short term rentals, you could already be 5-10 deals deep by the time you get through the permitting process of the unique stay thing.

Hey @Sean Bramble, I have always thought this would be a fun kind of project. Not tiny houses per say but small cabins. On a lake.

What you are talking about would be a resort business vs a STR project.

First thing would be to contact the county. Find out the zoning on the properties you are looking at. Can you put in small cabins, a restaurant maybe, general store etc.

This is going to be a multi year project just like @Avery Carl said, but you could create a cool resort that you can either pass on to kids or sell as a working business.

Robuilt (youtube channel) has been working on a tiny house village for a couple of years in the Smokies. That's after he acquired a 40 acre site for it. He has some videos about it but not in great great detail.

@Sean Bramble that process is going to be different in every state and every municipality. You should really focus on networking with developers in the specific areas you are considering.

I'm in the same situation. I am in the middle of land purchase and have renovated a camper and plan on onsite building several tiny homes. I was told the permit process is a headache and wanted to know if anyone who has succefuslly developed give a brief summary of there experience.
