Short-Term Rental Property with Social Media Pre-Launch
Build a short-term rental property (e.g., Scandinavian-style cabins like Live Oak Lake near Waco, TX) while documenting the entire journey on Instagram/TikTok to build an audience of potential investors and customers before launch. One example built 130K Instagram followers by documenting the planning, building, and fundraising process with just an iPhone. By launch, they had investors ready to fund the project and customers ready to book. The property can be built for $1.5-2M and sold for $7-8M within 2 years.
