Compared to the Gulf, you're going to have a longer winter downtime in the Outer Banks, which may mean lower annual revenue per SF and dollar spent.

This way there is no "down" time, and additional cleaning, or repair work, will not be delayed due to no power.

Contractors will take jobs that pay a bit less if they know there is zero sales or negotiation involved and can move from one job to the next with no down time. 

You have to account for repairs and furnishings and down time getting it ready.

You will need to make sure you have cash reserves in addition to the $15k for down times and maintenance. 

But it's starting to slow down and give me some more down time. 

Would love to connect with anyone at the event on down times.

How long downtime do you want? 

Vacancy loss (down time between tenants ) another 5% or $2500.  

I don’t know what my schedule will be like, I could have a ton of down time or I could be away from home more often than I’m home, so I’m not sure how much rehabbing I can realistically accomplish in 3 years.I know I’m not giving many specifics here, but some general advice or specific things to research or read up on would be a huge help.
