Get in early, keep it simple.

Come in as a lender for a fixed return, or as an equity partner who shares the Airbnb income and the upside. Low minimums — we'd rather have a handful of aligned partners than one big check. All figures illustrative; real terms in the deck.

Who Stays Here

Short stays and long ones — the Austin overflow that needs an affordable, quiet, green place to land.

Why This Deal Works

The land is freeAcquired below market through an owner trade — investor money skips the most expensive line item.
The homes are cheapTrailers, RVs & Airstreams at a few thousand each — not retail builds.
The income is realShort-term rents near Austin beat long-term, and AustinSpring already proves guests come.
The operator is on-siteRun by the team next door — not an out-of-state syndicator with a slideshow.

Straight Answers

Investor FAQ

How do I get paid?

Two ways, your choice. As a lender you hold a note at a fixed return (illustrative ~9–10%), paid quarterly and secured against the land and homes. As an equity partner you own a share of the village and receive a pro-rata slice of the Airbnb cash flow, plus upside if we refinance or sell. Exact terms are in the definitive agreement.

Is short-term rental even allowed there?

Yes — and the location is unusually friendly. 183 Clover Rd sits in unincorporated Bastrop County, which has no zoning ordinance at all, so none of the minimum-size bans that block tiny homes in cities apply. There's no STR license mandate in the unincorporated county (only the City of Bastrop requires registration). The county recently approved a 43-acre RV-and-cabin park in Cedar Creek, and similar parks already operate nearby. We collect and remit Hotel Occupancy Tax on bookings and pull the standard septic, building, and well permits.

What's the risk?

It's a real-estate venture, so capital is at risk — construction can run over, bookings can come slower than hoped, and rental rules can change. We manage that by starting small ($160K, ~6 homes), keeping costs low (free land, cheap units), and growing from cash flow instead of borrowing heavily. The land is already in hand and the operator runs a working rental business next door.

Who runs it day to day?

The same team that operates AustinSpring, the rental community on the adjoining parcel — on-site, local, already hosting guests. Not an out-of-state syndicator running it from a spreadsheet.

What if Airbnb rules change?

The homes work as long-term rentals too — short-term is the higher-income option, not the only one. Being in unincorporated county rather than a city also means far less regulatory exposure than an in-town STR.

How is my money used?

It funds the 700-ft well (~$35K), site work — septic, electric, pads, road (~$55K), the first ~6 cheap-built homes and their furnishing (~$60K), and a small contingency. It does not buy land — that's contributed below-market.

What's my exit, and how long?

Notes run a defined 3–5 year term. Equity is longer-term and exits on a refinance or sale, or by selling your share back. We'll spell out the specifics for your structure in the deck and agreement.
