The best thing you can do is contact an real estate agent / broker who can run some comps and get you an accurate ARV range so you can forecast things more precisely and have a better idea of what these types of properties are actually worth and currently being sold for.

It is accurate that Hilton MGT. only allows owners to use the unit for 21-days/yr, while the rest of the 344 days, it will be generating income for you.The Hilton Convention Center and Branson Landing Condos offer benefits like garage parking, close proximity to restaurants and attractions, and beautiful locations, some units with lake views.Monthly dues are $300+/ mo. and those dues include things like:Building InsuranceCommon Area MaintenanceSwimming Pool & Exercise RoomLawn Care / LandscapingSecurity ServiceTrash ServiceWhat makes these deals so difficult to pencil out is their management fee of 50%, which is significantly higher than the typical range of 15% to 40% in Branson.

I doubt 25% down is realistic, it depends on the accurate property financials, which you do not have yet, but if you need help sizing up the loan once you have those financials, I'd be happy to help with that.Good luck, maybe talk to you in six months, bookmark this thread.
