This seems like a case where they really ought to consider starting 'lean'. Initially buy a small house in an area densely populated by redditors and turn it into a coffee house or something where they can go to hang out. When you've gotten past a certain point, move to a small resort location, then eventually get to the island stage. It just seems like setting yourself up for failure to go straight to the island, which has soooo many more obstacles in the way.
