We want to develop the lot now and build a short term rental, preferably owned by an LLC.

I just did this on a short term rental.

I have had a huge interest in real estate, specifically, investing (BRRR, short-term rentals) and most recently in developing (I realize developing is a more "advanced" strategy).I'm thinking I should hustle and reach out to real estate agencies, in hopes of snagging an entry-level job or part-time gig to learn the ropes and build relationships with local investors.

They're both important, but Capex is more of a long-term investment while maintenance keeps things running smoothly in the short term.

So we have about $210K for the construction but are short $100K to begin the process.

Appraisers are typically pretty conservative and will use long-term rental rates, not mid/short term rates.

If its a popular area for vacations you could do a short term rental.

I'm putting a business plan together for a short term rental and I can find plenty of data from comps on projected vacancy rates of established rentals, however, I know I can't expect to come out of the gate with 50-60% occupancy.
