I live in Maine where short term summer rentals are in huge demand.

Driven by favorable interest rates and stock market performance, debt issuance has been the main capital driver.

The PO Box mainly won't get used but in future I plan to use the address with any tenents.

I'm hoping this leads to me avoiding a lot of those early mistakes, but we'll see how well that actually holds up.The main thing I am excited about with Bigger Pockets is hearing opinions and thoughts from a wide array of people.

They are people who have planned trips like family reunions, church events, baseball tournaments, etc.

My main goal?

Hi there, my name is Thomas McPherson and I am a RE investor/lender operating in Phoenix and Maine. 

Mainly because I am a rookie, but also because I did not know these questions to ask when starting out. 

Many are using Orlando and the surrounding area as an example of why STRs are no longer viable.Most of us know that the greater Orlando area is super saturated and that the main money makers are the huge places that sleep 20+ with incredible themeing in just about every room.There are plenty of areas in the USA that can support great returns but like any real estate purchase, you need to do your due diligence.

Looking to add about 700sf on to the main house, to include a primary suite.
