Building a fantasy themed “castle” retreat Airbnb! Designed it myself, going into a hillside, on 4 acres with a creek, amazing project and I’m very excited.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Dream project, I’m a nerd

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Tried trading my house for a cool piece of property, eventually came to a deal and was able to raise money behind the concept

How did you finance this deal?

Local Bank!

How did you add value to the deal?

Imagination

What was the outcome?

In progress... finger crossed!

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Things are easier when you have help

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

    Hey Zach! Your Fantasy Castle sounds very promising, I can't wait to see the full build out and listing on BP/AirBnB.

    Chad - thank you for the comment and encouragement. We hope to begin framing just before the first of next year. It will essentially be 6 floors and 4,000+ square feet with a bunch of crazy extras like a round door, turret, spiral staircase, wine cellar, etc. Feel free to come visit when we're finished!
