Your target market should be where you have buyers, simpleIce Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby All right stop, Collaborate and listen Ice is back with my brand new invention Something grabs a hold of me tightly flow like a harpoon daily and nightly Will it ever stop?

Ask to buy them a cup of coffee, a beer, lunch, dinner or ice cream...doesn't matter.

You cannot walk down the street, sit in a bar, talk to parents at a playground, attend a ice cream social, help pull a car out of a ditch without hearing how their parent, older aunt/uncle etc worked for Kodak.

Appreciation is icing on the cake for all long-held real estate, but your STR should be producing returns for you right away. 

I never counted on this and if it happens, then it is only icing on the cake.

I would suggest that when you run your numbers, the property works as a regular rental and the short-term rental is just another strategy or the icing on the cake. 

It probably only rented 65% of the time in the winter (Ice Carnival time was always booked); however, the real issue was spring time when skiing wasn't good, but boating/mountain biking/golfing/hiking was still too snowy and muddy. 

It was a sloppy closing as I've said, but this is the icing on the cake!

I knew that you was going to get creamed when you said that the only ones you could trust were appraisers and Inspector‘s.

@Joe Villeneuve now I’m going to add the icing on our strategy......Through networking we have a large resource of individuals that loan private money to us, so we NEVER use our own cash to fund down payment or gap money.
