How do you go from broke and living paycheck to paycheck… to building a $6 million tiny home empire?
In this episode, we sit down with Chris Broomfield, founder of Evergreen Cabins, to break down exactly how he turned a $27,000 piece of land into a multi-unit short-term rental business generating nearly $700,000 per year.
We cover the real story behind his success—financing the land with almost no money, building cabins over 8 years, navigating permits and zoning, and how one viral video changed everything. If you’ve ever wondered whether building a tiny home village, Airbnb business, or cabin rental is actually realistic, this is the behind-the-scenes breakdown you’ve been looking for.
This is not overnight success. This is strategy, patience, and execution.
Watch the full episode to learn what it really takes to build a profitable Airbnb business from scratch.
