Have you ever dreamed of owning a cabin in the woods or maybe a cozy lakeside retreat? Whether you spent the Fourth of July at someone else’s cabin or you’re just starting to imagine your own, this episode is your guide to turning that dream into something real.   We break down what it really takes to own a cabin, from deciding how you’ll use it (personal oasis or rental income stream?) to exploring creative financing strategies like HELOCs, local banks, and even rent-to-own models. Plus, we dive into how to make your property pay for itself—and why thinking outside the box (hello, barndominiums!) can lead to surprising possibilities.   If you've been waiting for a sign to start your cabin journey, this is it. Let’s make your getaway goals more than a daydream.
