In fact the demand is stronger than I've ever seen it, though prices are high.

However, some amenities consistently deliver high value because they attract more bookings, increase nightly rates, or result in better guest reviews.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

Normal mortgage rates are in the high 6's now, for a personal residence, and higher for an investment property. 

The property is unique—it’s off-grid with a well, solar power, and a fully finished interior.

Most agency loans will expressly forbid such an arrangement, so if they found out, the odds of having the loan called would be very high. 

However the key is making sure the numbers pencil out so that, at minimum, even in the worst case, you can pay back that heloc because interest on that is going to be very high.

When investing in high cash-flow markets, I always recommend working with an investor friendly agent so you're able to gain the right insight on the different areas and the risks involved.

They also benefit from strong schools, which can be a huge draw for long-term tenants.While you may not achieve high cash flow immediately in these areas, the property values and rents tend to appreciate steadily over time, aligning well with your goals.
