Nick owns some awesome property near the Cascade Mountains, and while he originally intended to use it for personal vacations, he realized later it was a good opportunity to make money doing some short-term rentals. The “Clay Baby” is a shed kit he purchased and had delivered pre-built back in 2019.
At the time, the shed cost $8k, and he put another $22k into adding plumbing, electricity, and finishes to create a cute vacation cabin for a couple. There’s a bathroom, cozy living space, kitchen with a dishwasher, and two loft bedrooms. Could you live in this?
