@Mike Shemp - Yeah that's a good idea. It would be a good reason to get out for a weekend haha. But yeah, boots on the ground research is always key. How did you feel about having to bring your own water and having a generator for power? I can see an aspect of it that would be kind of fun but also inconvenient.

@Bruce Woodruff - I've heard this before. Ideally the site would have these utilities ready. I'm looking in Gatlinburg, TN near the Smoky Mountains and I've found a couple properties that have utilities ready but I need to do more research. Some have utilities "available" but I'd imagine that would require me to have the utilities set up by the local providers. So long story short I don't have too much of a budget to set up utilities. Either I find a property with utilities set up or I go a more barebones approach and find a way to provide services without public utilities. What are your thoughts?

Hey everyone! I am new to real estate investing and I just closed on my first home. My plan has been to live in it for a year, make some renovations and rent out rooms and then save to purchase my next property. Now I'm thinking, why wait? There a cheaper options to get into a deal and what I am interested in now is to purchase a small piece of land and renovate an RV and put it there as a "glamping" Airbnb. I'm asking for any advice from someone who has invested in a "glamping" Airbnb property or potentially anybody who may be interested in investing with me to get this started! My name is Michael and I appreciate you reading my post!
