Earlier this year, I stumbled across another YouTuber who was putting out some fascinating videos about a topic that I've been interested in for a long time.

The channel is called Robuilt and it's run by a guy named Rob. Rob runs an Airbnb business that allows visitors to stay in tiny houses and glamping sites that provide a unique experience.

This is a topic many land investors are interested in because it presents an opportunity to generate recurring income from their vacant lands.

If you've done more than a dozen land transactions, you've probably seen your share of vacant lots that are beautiful properties in great locations. Perhaps YOU would even enjoy spending time there, but as a land flipper, your goal is to simply flip the property, make a profit, and move on to the next one.

But what if you didn't flip land? What if you kept some of these properties as a long-term investment and instead, invested a small amount of money in a tiny house, RV, or glamping unit, and turned it into a source of income?

What are the different ways this can be done? What does it take to manage this kind of business? How much time, effort, and energy are required to make this happen?

Today, we're going to talk with Rob about how his business works and maybe, you'll learn enough to decide whether this is something you want to pursue yourself.

Note: If you decide to pursue a unique rental business, be sure to do your own due diligence and run your unique rental businesses legally by getting your units permitted. Review your local planning and zoning codes or call your planning and zoning department so you are aware of what your zoning needs to be in order to use your land the way you want.

Key Takeaways

In this episode, you will:

  • Learn how to turn vacant land into profitable glamping sites with lower startup costs than traditional rentals.
  • Discover the key factors for choosing glamping locations, including zoning, environmental impact, and proximity to popular spots.
  • Understand the value of prototyping your glamping business by leasing land and sharing revenue before committing fully.
  • Explore how to create sustainable income with yurts, Airstreams, and tiny homes that generate high nightly rates.
