Land Lease STR - Tiny Home, Airstream, etc

[Christina Hall]

We’re looking into leasing land (about 3 acres) and then adding 1-2 units on it to short term rent. Right now we are thinking of tiny homes or a container. The location is fantastic and would do well. My concerns/questions are around land improvement, we’d need to do some to make it desirable. Also have no idea on what terms we should ask for. We own single family rentals and we rent short term but a land lease to rent is not something we’ve ever done. Anyone have experience?

@Christina Hall Riverside County (for unincorporated areas) has an ordinance, and is in the process of rewriting it to become more restrictive.  The proposed revision would only allow a property to be rented to one group no matter how many structures one has, and would allow for a maximum of 16 people no matter how many legal structures.  Also only one permit per parcel.  The group I mentioned above (which I am a member of) VRON Riverside is trying to work with the County regarding the rewrite of the ordinance.
