What if you could turn 10 acres of rural land into a million-dollar hospitality empire while working a full-time job?
Garrett Brown from Cameron Ranch Glamping strategically “land hacked” his way into a multi-six-figure operation that’s now worth $1.5 million and generates nearly $100,000 per year from a single geodome.
By day, he teaches short-term rentals at BiggerPockets, but his real wealth-building happens through his glamping side hustle with $400+ nightly rates without the overhead of a traditional hotel.
Listen to Episode 686 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
- How “land hacking” lets you get started with minimal down payment
- The 60-30-10 rule for choosing profitable glamping locations
- Why 80% of his bookings come directly through social media (not Airbnb)
