Purchasing land for lease and "glamping"

Tim Potts
Posted

I'm a 35-year-old teacher from the Ozarks.  My interests are not urban, but rural.  My personal dream is to own a nice plot of 30-50 acres or so with a well or stream for myself where I could figure out how to hunt, build earthen homes, maybe herd some cattle.  At the moment I only have around 50k in liquid cash.  I use about 10k as emergency savings, I have 8 in the advanced car and "new roof" payments, and the rest is invested in VTSAX.  In other words, I probably only have 20k I feel comfortable using as a down payment on a loan.  However, if I needed to, I could prob get up to 100k.  

I've noticed on AirBNB that there are several glamping packages available, so I was thinking if I got a good enough property I could invest in some yurts or Earthships for an "off the grid" experience.  I could also lease the land to businesses that want to give rural-based workshops, camps, etc.  

I can't find many resources based on this business plan on this forum.  Has anyone done this?  Is this a business plan that could help me accomplish my goal?
