Meet Garett Brown, the visionary and creator behind Cameron Ranch Glamping, a collection of luxury glamping units on 11 acres just an hour outside of Houston, Texas.

Garrett is a professional music producer and traveling DJ who has always loved dabbling in real estate investing. When he wasn’t performing on stage or out on a tour, he’d find himself scrolling through listings dreaming of what it’d be like to build his own portfolio of homes.

He wanted to learn more about real estate so he decided to get his real estate license so he could get an inside look at how the industry actually works.

Tune in to hear the story behind how Garrett quickly swapped showing homes to others for building his own and the series of events that led him to fall in love with hospitality.

In this episode, Garett shares:

The importance of considering both novelty and variety of structures when building a unique stay to increase virality and attract repeat guests.
Why he believes you should determine the unit type you want to build and THEN go find the land (rather than the other way around)
Why you shouldn’t overlook smaller content creators and influencers when marketing your stay
And how the tragic loss of his brother inspires the work he does today
