Realtor needed for a Southern Vermont Vacation Home

[Rachael L.]

Hi BPs, 

would anyone recommend a realtor that's experienced with vacation home for STR? we're financially ready (down payment and pre-approved) just need a good realtor who can help us with understand the local market and STR.

We prefer Chalet style SF home, how is maintenance (snow removal included) look like, anyone has any kind of pro-forma P&L available to share? We want to see how realistic is it to break even in Southern Vermont w conservative view on occupancy rate. Or should we go with the townhome/condo near ski places which would improve occupancy rate, though it does come with 500-700 HOA fee monthly.

thanks in advance!
