We converted a shed into a 2 bedroom 2 bath home on 5 acres here in Oklahoma. We are mortgage free. Did everything on our own just about. All together we spent maybe around $50,000 for everything.

[@tula1433]

Amazing! Who’s property are you on? How do you not have to pay a mortgage? Curious how this works!

[@zenyas7358]

It’s a very good option

[@zenyas7358]

If you do not have the land you still need to buy the land then use shed convert it in home but still has land to pay

[@sarita5572]

@tula1433 land here in Oklahoma is pretty cheap if you search around. The shed places do rent to own or you can pay with cash. We had money saved up for our well, land and preparing our shed to live in.

I used to build those Tuff Sheds for Home Depot. You can get a 2 storey barn style building with a loft for 15k. They also sell a 2-storey cabin for 20k. Those prices are just for the buildings themselves. You will still need to to the interior finishing, electrical, insulation, drywall, etc. but it's worth the money.

@carsonc4134 Carson, your comments scream insecurity. Please share your experience with RE and what you have done to build section 8 and low income housing. Perhaps even allow homeless families stay in your home…? But seriously, why are you hating on people who live for free on their own property, make more than your income from their property and meet the demands from customers who are voluntarily paying to visit their space? Based on you trolling, I’m guessing the words entrepreneurship, investing, development and early retirement are terms you are not very familiar with. Instead of posting garbage, share your experience and knowledge and try to educate us based on your successes. If there are any….;)

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

Not too keen on the loft spaces for sleeping, but otherwise a really inviting looking place. Good for him.

[@wilty5]

The loft with the insufficient railings looks like a serious liability. It could also use a couple of egress windows up there.

[@AliceWonders22]

I'm 50 and parents didn't even have kids in carseats back in the day. My husbands parents had a playpen set up in the back of their station wagon lol Parents treat kids with kid gloves nowaways.

[@tombrockhoff3081]

I would build one much bigger for way less

[@TdrSld]

This place would do will with solar on it to help cut cost once it has all the units built out. An 800 amp service in not cheap to run and each unit could have a couple panels and a small inverter in them to off set their power needs. Hell they will actually make more power than they need when they are not booked and in a stand by mode, saving even more on the power bill.

[@visamedic]

Holy crap! I had thought of this a few years back. I was going to buy property in Wyoming. LITERALLY the same damn thing. I was going to organize 8-10 large sheds in a circular area with a large circular communal area with BBQ-lounging-fire pit area. They’d still have there own little areas, but all joined in like a spoke-like wheel configuration. Little shed somewhere in the circle with 2 stacked washer/driers. I was going to cater to outdoorsmen…hunters, fisherman. There was going to be an area for cleaning and dressing your game. Possibly having an on site butcher, and refrigeration unit for storage (down the road, timewise a bit) I was looking at between 60-100 acres. I was going to keep a 1/2 acre for myself, with maybe 10 for cattle, 1-1 1/2 for the “compound”, and managing the rest for pheasant and or quail. Basically a kinda self serve, Air B&B type thing. I would have a few people that would do the normal clean up type stuff. I would probably still work EMS until it was really producing, then maybe drop down to part time until I retire, just to keep up my skills and certification. I was going to try to go, at least 80% off grid. My are would be be 100% off grid. At the time, I was going through a divorce at the time and it all just fell through the cracks.

[@visamedic]

[@socalstr]

You do a terrific job on giving us well rounded details on zoning and cost. However, we never discussed plans, inspections, and code enforcement. Particularly on that shed structure that’s likely not Title 24 compliant and possibly dangerous (gulp, that “loft”). Would love to understand how this thing stays bulletproof when jealous neighbors/competitors report him. Or maybe in TX they just done care and it’s worth the risk? Or maybe it’s got a CUP for camping and that’s all this is? It’s a campsite, then?

[@realmarsattacksagain]

Code enforcement??? This is a rural property. Natives in Central Texas (called the "hillcountry") tent camp frequently in Wimberley so this is actually a luxury accommodation for people who can't rough it. I hardly call it a campsite. Tubing is the primary all-day activity if you leave your overnight spot. There would be no complaining by neighbors because Wimberley is home to probably more lodges like this than any other city in Texas. These lodges are more common than residential homes. Read up on the Wimberly flood (Feb 2018) and you'll see that most of the 8 people who died were riverside tourists, not residents. Eder's remote location avoids this potential catastrophe.

[@beatricemarquez5861]

WOW! In October, I went to my son to a hardware store and walked over to take a real good look the sheds on display! I said to myself, a person could actually sit one on property and finish it off and make a cute small home, which is very popular now! Great idea!

I live in Texas and the property taxes are a killer. You will pay on avg 2% of what your home / land is appraised at. If your home / property is valued at $500k, you will pay $10k annually to the state of Texas in property taxes. Its not right.

[@slantize]

One of my issues is land is very expensive in my vicinity but once you start driving 3-4 hours out it gets significantly cheaper for a lot more space to build on. What is the suggested distance for someone who wants to manage short term rentals remotely when starting out?

I think you said this is in Texas in the beginning of the video. Go RED states! We live in the liberal state of Colorado and you can not do things like this here. We live in a million dollar home with neighbors right on top of us here in Castle Rock. We are seriously considering downsizing from our over 6000 sqft to a motorhome to travel. My parents live in Fredericksburg, TX and would LOVE us to do that lol This however...brings in revenue where as a motor home will not! Great video with great ideas. His space is beautiful. Love it~

[@realmarsattacksagain]

LOVELY Property Eder!!! ❤ So how much was the raw land??? Kai - that was the most important cost factor that you didn't cover... 🤔 ❓️❓️❓️ Actually, summer is the only time people want to visit Central Texas because to jump into a 72F degree blue hole, you have to have 100F plus temps. Spring water is frigid even in the summer. You should visit sometime @Kai Andrew so you have first hand experience with this part of TX. 😀 This area has the most expensive land in the state as you stated. I'm guessing Eder's 10 acres cost in excess of $300,000. Please correct me if I am not right... I'm figuring it would take him 5 years just to break even and pay off the Improvement. We're not counting the house he built for himself. Was he living in one of the two vacation rentals?

[@scottwood6003]

Just so you know, we typically recommend a liquid budget of at least 40k from our new members, as we have found that to be a good starting point to get involved in land hacking, depending on the area, whether or not you already own land, & whether you plan to do a lot of the work yourself or hire it out. Our top priority is to ensure the success of our students in their land hacking ventures & we believe that starts with a sufficient budget.
