My buddy/boss is selling two houses he built himself on a plot of rural land. Right now both houses are up for airbnb and vrbo rentals (with amazing difficulty). He's and living in a pole barn he built, on the same property, until he can sell the houses. All the money from the rentals right now goes to his developers and other business expenses (inventory, shipping materials, etc..) He gets his food from the food bank and his diet is pretty much cereal and ramen. Two employees live with him under the same circumstances, working for equity and experience. I'm one of them.
