Appreciate the concern!

But I am also having a lot of booked guests concerned about their upcoming stays because of the two storms currently brewing.I've thought of self-insuring but I've been able to find policies with good coverage that also cover the loss of income.  

Although we know Napa concerns are buying or have been buying up the old gard in WV . 

No one was very concerned.

As for privacy concerns, changing the name and being mindful of future registrations or public filings can help minimize the "breadcrumb trail."

I do not have an age requirement for parking lots; the location and surrounding competition are my main concerns

Hey Olu - If you're concerned about the variable rate with a HELOC, I would suggest either a cash out refi or a HELOAN.

I'm concerned that if I place an ad to find people who will work on an hourly basis (in the area of the property) that I might have a hard time finding people who can reliably respond to emergencies during off hours, but I can't afford to have someone working full time or with standard on-call rotations. 

I totally understand the hesitation to dip into your non-retirement savings—that’s a common concern for many first-time flippers.For my first flip, I leveraged private money funding.

I am concerned about it being done improperly, prettied up with paint, which many people do with even house flipping as I did this for a number of years, and then a short time later after everything is done and everyone exits, it all comes apart and you are left fixing it.
