I know a guy who makes hundreds of thousands off mini-homes.

One he built for $165k and it nets him $87k a year...

Here's how:

@RobuiltChannel (aka Robuilt on Youtube) manages 10+ tiny house rentals remotely, which he documents for his 114k subscribers

He's also building a tiny house community on 50 acres of land in Tennessee... NBD

Here's a 300 square foot tiny home he built in Joshua Tree, California

It makes him $87,500 a year. Yup.

It rents for $165 a night on Airbnb.
And it only cost him around $165k to build. 🤯

He built the first one in his backyard in LA, and it made so much he got to quit his job.

And he built it for $72k.

Here's another one in Joshua Tree:

This one cost $272k to build (it's sick)

Here's how he automates his whole six fig Airbnb operation:
1) @YourPorter or @InfoSmartbnb for all messaging
2) Automate your pricnng@Price_Labs
3) Get smart tech @ring and @nestpensions

Love tech, hate logistics.

Here are a few of his rules for making your own tiny homes:

1. You’ll need to hire a draftsperson or an architect.

A draftsperson will usually charge between $1.75 – $2.50/ft².

2. There a few tests and reports you need as soon as you secure your land: percolation tests to determine septic tank design ($2200), a soil report ($3,000) which can usually be bypassed if your draftsperson/architect follows prescriptive code

3. You'll also need: Site plans, fire flow test, grading plan, and many other plans and permits.

4. Zoning, zoning, zoning. Pro tip - find out from your local city what allowances are for building, don't mention tiny home. They get salty on that.

5. Also he's not a fan of buying tiny homes, he builds em usually for less cost.
