Hi Nancy,
I usually don’t like to hand out opinions, but here is my two cents worth:
I would be extremely leery about starting a food business – lots of investment and lots of time are needed – do you really want to spend that much time, effort, and at-risk money? As far as a dump truck that sounds like a good idea, although I have no idea how much work is available. At least the investment in the dump truck would be recoverable.
As far as a yurt (or any temp housing) you need to make sure that the area you will be living will allow that. Does Tiki Gardens (?) allow temp housing?
Also, while yurts look pretty cool, I feel they are expensive as temp housing. Personally, we (my wife and I) are considering a pop-up trailer for temp housing. I think I might even be able to get a few bucks out of it after I don’t need it. I don’t feel a yurt would offer the same re-sale value.
We have 8 acres near Kurtistown that we plan to live on while our home is being built. That will be in about 2 – 2 1/2 years from now. In one sense that is a long way away, but in reality that is just around the corner. We have so much more planning to do!
Best of Luck!
