@Jon Huber   Thank you and I completely agree.  In the winter the snowbirds flock here to rent for a few months and then move out just in time for spring breakers on through the summer families and then the holidays.  

It is like I live in a laboratory for my research :-) I get to talk to all of the guests and get their perspective on things as well as the professionals that live here. I am blessed to be here. Oh yea, and it is gorgeous here. 

Thank you for your kind words Julia.  I have been jumping through the podcasts haphazardly. I will take your advice and start at the beginning. 

Hi BP friends...

I have a mission in life to own vacation rentals around the globe. I have so many ideas in regards to it that it is truly a unique business model I am building- at least i think so.  

My family used to manage mid-size apartment buildings and some managed motels and hotels; it must be in my blood. I have always had this dream but thought I never could achieve the capital I needed and didn't know where to go to get educated. Until I realized I need to utilize my creativity, ingenuity, number crunching forte, ability to sell and impeccable customer service skills.  With the resources and knowledge  here I am going to achieve this goal.

I am here to become educated, meet new people who share my interests, gain new perspectives, and develop my game plan---R&D if you will. 

I think I could have more to contribute... for instance, I am beginning to learn data-mining so I can scrape data from rental websites to analyse markets easier than plugging numbers into a spreadsheet individually .....maybe this is already done for me or I can help you too? I will not know until Ito get through all of the podcasts and fourms to find out :-)

Thanks for building this great community. 

You could look at the city ordinances to see if open fire is allowed.
