current owners should have real #'s for the property... and the tourism board will have the regional info...

I've been working with a container manufacturing company in Vietnam and they could do the home 90% finish for you included bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen.

We want to travel, maybe buy a sprinter adventure van or a tiny house in the white mountains, or maybe invest in a few AIRBNB's down the road near ski areas to keep up our adventurous lifestyle (this one is more selfish but tourism in New England is great and steady).We look forward to to being regular on the forums and look forward to meeting and interacting with all the fine folks on BP.

I would love to purchase an actual building someday in the US, but do not have the skills to build a proper business plan nor money to invest and right now we are operating out of a 5 bedroom home with two tiny houses in the back (25 beds).I've seen some proper hostels built in Vietnam/Philippines for about $60K (six floors probably and over 50+ beds).

Space tourism.

The city is one of the last beach towns that is still affordable before the revitalization project brings in tourism and push home prices up.The opportunity:After running some rough estimates with my agent, we've determined the land and construction would cost roughly 50 : 50 for the project.

In the last 20 yrs here, these homes have been bought and fixed in popular areas around city tourism development, and people from states with high cost of living came and lived at a discount. 

Most annual renters here are restaurant workers or people tied to tourism or retirees.In the 3 years that we have known this gentleman he has only had one renter that lasted for 4 month before she told him that she could not afford the rent.Gentleman does not need the money, but finally figured he still could make some money off of his property.So he approached me and asked if we would manage vacation rentals in his unit for him.I told him I was not interested in managing for him but if he was interested in renting to me and let me sub lease to do Vacation Rentals my self we might have a deal.He said he would rent 5 units out of 7 since he wants one for himself an 1 unit for family members when they visit.So I said give me a price for all 5 units to lease.He came back at $2200 a month if I rented all 5 units.I told him that would work.I then asked, how about if I give you one year rent upfront on 5 units, We finally agreed on $100,000 up front for annual lease of 5 units.That works out to $1667 a month per unit , what's that work out to?

Renting whole house short-term, it depends on local jurisdiction's Rental/Tourism laws.
