1) I think it’s “funny” that not one news article I ever read for the last 5 years had headlines like “Housing at historical record lows!

The good news is that there are still investable vacation rentals but historically the barrier to entry is growing each year. 

@Maranda Tucker Oh man... this is great news!

However, on my back burner is a direct booking site and I'm leaning toward OwnerRez (once I get through Ski Season).

That would be great if you can post the study here.P.S what are your thoughts on PropertyRadar(I hear they do daily updates I dont know how true this is though) and Listsource by core logic(the site claims daily updates)? 

There are obviously a lot of variables that come into play.I'm looking at developing a small 2 acre property that has already been engineered for septic and platted for 8 mobile homes. 2 MH are already on site with all utilities present, but for the 6 MH remaining that I want to put on site, the land still has to be developed.

Mark, the good news is there is not any banks doing this.

Is it as simple as getting the site designed and engineered for the footprint, cleared and graded (all of which I am comfortable with), and then hiring a GC to build the building?

I put supplies on the job site.

Just because you disagree with the conclusion that most people come up with after visiting dogs bite.org does not make it "fake news" or propagandist.
