Sure man, happy to share: basically I started with one log cabin in my backyard, and have recently grown it to 3 rentable cabins (and a 4th bathroom cabin). ROI is like 100-200%, it's kindof like house hacking on steriods. They are all on my primary residence as of right now, but I'm scouting for other locations and how to "scale" this model. It's basically renting out the tiny house experience for a weekend, or "glamourous camping" as I call it.

Hey Annabelle,

Great question.

 A few factors: one being I moved up closer to the GTA for my music business and many years of managing distantly was proving trickier every year. The market had a decent hike, so the numbers started looking better and better for selling and worse and worse for holding.  Also I'm finding the landlord-tenant relationship is becoming two one sided legally in Ontario with the landlord being pushed into a corner and having little or no recourse for bad tenants. 

But the main reason is I found another investment (renting log cabins out on Airbnb) that is SOOO much more profitable and less headache / worry so I put all my eggs in that basket.

Hey Ethan,

I currently live in a normal-sized house, but I rent out "tiny" 107 square foot log cabins as Airbnb Short term rentals and I can say personaly they are INSANELY profitable as airbnb listings (especially if you have the right property).  I'm developing and systemitizing what I do into a process and would love to share it with you.

Hi, Great discussion everyone!

I've been doing the VR thing since 2015 with a small twist: I rent out tiny 105 square foot cabins on my rural property (I live outside the Toronto Area).  I mainly target people wanting to "escape" the city for a weekend,  and it's very profitable.  I've since sold all my long-term rentals so I could relax and stop being stressed out by tenants. Never looking back :) VR all the way!
