“Selling” a co-living room is very different to showing a traditional unit. 

We tell hosts all the time, it's more management and more money than traditional SFR.

My vision includes developing the land into a destination with features like driveways, walking paths, utilities, and unique lodging structures.Here’s my tentative plan1.Place the existing STR in an LLC2.Apply for an SBA small business loan to fund the next steps, including a feasibility study (~$10k+), land clearing, and infrastructure development.While this direction excites me, I’m torn between pursuing this venture and continuing with a more traditional approach—buying one home per year using conventional loans.I’d love to hear your thoughts:•Has anyone transitioned from STRs to glamping or similar ventures?

I still have clients buying in Vegas, but it's not as common due to cashflows being hard to come by with the traditional 25% down financing.  

@Rafael Ro Traditionally, investors have targeted Class B properties. 

It's not a traditional school building.

You can refinance into more traditional loans later, but that initial speed matters.

I am at 4 now and hoping to average 2 more per year yet ready to quit my traditional job ASAP.  

@Kay S.Assuming you are getting title insurance (which I recommend) the closing costs will be similar to a traditional closing.

The "slow flip" I am referring to was purchase the property in the traditional financing way and then live there while rehabbing and improving (adding bedrooms, getting the yards back in shape, updating finishes, building or adding shop space, etc.).
