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.
