Welcome back to Success Unlocked, where our hosting business master membership coaches discuss operations, social media, unique builds, co-hosting strategies, and so much more. This week’s episode is Vacation Ventures, hosted by Michael Hicks.
In this episode, Mike helps Annette work through her recent experience scouting two 100+ acre properties for potential STR development. From septic to signing – there are hundreds of things to keep your eye on in this process, and Mike’s just the guy to help us put a method to the madness.
His vast building experience proves valuable in aligning early priorities with the city, county, and zoning commission; explaining how to make the math work; and avoiding beginner’s mistakes like overlooking natural water features, alarming nosy neighbors, and caving on your own preferred timetable for due diligence.
