Thanks, Christian Can you tell me more about the locations, type of property, etc?

You cannot have a contract that simply states "install high-quality countertops" without specifying the quantity, location, type, or style.

@Federico Dallo you mentioning vacation-type locations leads me to guess that you may want to use the property yourself occassionlly?

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.

If they are from LCOL locations they cannot fathom that such small units have such high value and expect a lot more than 600’ to 700’ for the price they pay.host and guests both benefit by having multiple OTA platforms and the resulting competition. best wishes

I’m not located too far from you - I also own an investment property in Southern NJ.

And personally I put way more weight on buying the right location as a buy and hold investor than saving some dollars on the front end. 

Other questions to consider is location (something near ETSU campus?

I own five (5) service franchise locations with 53 employees. 

Usually an issue if older door is salvaged and new locks are installed that don't quite match up with the old door strike plate location.
