Construct small cabins, tiny houses, or even a single-family home to rent out on a short-term basis via platforms like VRBO or as a long-term rental.

agreed thats a tiny lake  cant see it as much of an attraction personally but Hey us west coast folks are used to large lakes we dont have 10k small lakes.. 

I would actually prefer to do a tiny house community, but it's more difficult to get towns to agree to doing permits for those and obviously more costly than a trailer. 

Land is available in PA, but often not in sufficient quantity close to the jobs and the new builds are quite expensive.I'm sure no one will argue in favor of higher taxes when just considering the number.

A 'bird dog' is a 'finder'... and while there are clear cases of advertisers overstepping their bounds into brokerage (http://caselaw.findlaw.com/il-court-of-appeals/1546961.html) there are also (many not so clear) cases where a 'finder' is not a broker (http://law.justia.com/cases/new-york/other-courts/2010/2010-20104.html).I would encourage anyone to browse the last link for 'finder' and also to look at the section 'Quality and Quantity of Services', 'Fiduciary Duty', 'Differences in Entitlement to Fee'.

Zombie Foreclosure report shows 1,390,000 U.S. homes are available, so go buy one - there is plenty of inventoryATTOM's Q3 2025 Vacant Property and Zombie Foreclosure report shows 1,390,000  U.S. homes, or 1.3%, are currently vacant — a rate that has stayed consistent for more than three years despite high housing demand.Seven of the states in ATTOM's top 10 are judicial foreclosure states, which means there's a long process that banks have to go through within the judicial system in order to foreclose on a property, which can cause a backlog of pending foreclosures in the system, said Tina Tamboer, senior housing analyst for The Cromford Report.Indeed, the number of foreclosures today are a tiny fraction of what happened during the Great RecessionToday, most of the foreclosures are investors who bought homes in 2022 and don't have enough equity in the properties, Tamboer said. 

You can start with your own kids or siblings, raise tiny amounts of money.

Quality over quantity avoided many of the hassles of C&D properties while retaining an easy out by owning desirable, properties that are easy to rent or sell. 

Think tiny A-frame (like this new-build cabin in Colorado) that attracts couples or influencers looking for a cool experience.
