Buying land in Northern Catskills NY and building container cabin

[Christopher Polanco]

Hi everyone. I am considering purchasing about an acre of land around Hunter NY, about 2.5 hrs from NYC, for around $10k in cash and using some sort of financing to purchase a 4 season container cabin for the Airbnb short term rental market. The area is beautiful and has alot to offer in terms of many outdoor activities year round but also the proximity to towns like Phonecia and Woodstock which are minutes away is also a plus. Does anyone have any experience with these type of vacation rentals in the Catkills NY area? If so what are things that I should be looking out for? Any pitfalls? Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you for all of this awesome feedback guys! This is much appreciated. I wasn't thinking about the short term renting laws of the county so that is probably my next step... 

As far as zoning goes I know for sure that there are no restrictions for this plot of land as I have already checked this out ,so basically anything goes, even a tiny house container cabin. 

These cabins are actually built from the ground up to be totally off the grid and ready to settle in once completed, the ones I am looking at are built here in Brooklyn by a company called Contanium. So there will be no additional costs as far as electric or a septic tank.
