Thanks for the tips guys! I like the start small think big! I really hope it works
I haven't voiced my concerns to them and probably won't, a picture of the land is even my cover photo on fb lol. I just wanted to see what you guys thought and if there was anything useful I could encouragingly run by them. I think though from the feedback that it's best I just sit this one out and let them learn as they go, I'm certain a simple phone call about an estimate will awaken them to permit considerations and the like . I'll update for sure! I hope it can work bare bones at least

For having multiple Ivy League degrees, you are having a very hard time wrapping your head around the fact that starting big, small or in between won't work if you do not have the proper permits and infrastructure in place. They don't have those permits, and don't plan on obtaining them. The authorities aren't going to have too much mercy on them. They will shut them down in a heartbeat and won't care how much they have put into it. There isn't any place so isolated that the officials are just going to miss it.
Hopefully, the guy giving the $50,000 is someone who can afford to lose it, because as currently outlined, the plan is doomed to failure. And if he doesn't want to be on the hook for unwinding all the unpermitted construction and all the bills these people are going to run up in the "business" name he better structure his investment as a loan, or he will be on the hook as a partner. All the people who put in materials or labor and expect to paid at the completion of the job are going to go looking for the deep pockets to get their payment, and the people $200,000 in debt don't meet that criteria, but someone with $50,000 to throw away might.
