Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a unique investment opportunity with the BiggerPockets community. I’m listing my off-grid 5-star Airbnb property located in Hereford, AZ, and wanted to share it here for anyone looking for a unique STR opportunity with room to grow.

🏡 Property Highlights:

• 12 acres with breathtaking mountain views

• Off-grid setup (solar + well water)

• Currently an operating 5-star Airbnb with strong reviews

• Zoned RU-4 – perfect for glamping, tiny homes, or additional STR units

• Peaceful, remote feel while still accessible by dirt road

This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in expanding into eco-tourism, retreat spaces, or building out a unique short-term rental experience. The land is ideal for both off-grid and on-grid development—lots of flexibility.

🔗 Listing & Details:

📍 11441 S Samuel Rd, Hereford, AZ 85615

Feel free to message me if you have any questions or want to discuss the property further!

I don't have any advice, but wanted to tell you that you are not alone.  i am closing this week on my first property, and I keep thinking of ways to get out of it even though I know its a good house, maybe not the best DEAL for my first, but at least I am getting a move in ready home. 

I too own a successful small business, but for some reason, buying investment property is much scarier!  Good Luck!

Thanks Mitchell!  Appreciate your reply.

I am about to close on my first property in Tucson, and I am planning on listing my other home on airbnb ( and in a year, adding the tucson property). I have an LLC that is an S-Corp that I am not really using, but have the EIN, Bank accounts and Credit cards all set up. Can I just run my airbnb business through that doing a DBA, without having the LLC own the properties? Thanks in advance for your feedback.
