#221: Building Luxury Cabins in the Woods - Jeff Burns
In this episode, we have my business partner in our real estate firm Jeff Burns. We start the conversation on how he made an incredible parlay early in his career that has been the foundation of everything we have built in real estate.
We then touch on the journey, from starting out with an idea, to how it has evolved into a large scale company. We dive into the lessons learned and the challenges faced, from building our own cabins, to launching a ground up waterfront development, to building a social media following, to self-managing all of our properties.
If you are interested in Short-Term Rental investing, land development, or property management, then this episode is for you.
Hope you enjoy the show!
