Hello, has anyone ever turned their pole barn on their primary residence into a wedding venue?

Appraisals are subjective and don't necessarily reflect what a similar property could be purchased for if you're looking hard enough or if you have the ability to pay all cash and depends on how motivated the seller is and also the venue you are purchasing from or way you are obtaining title

Stats on the house:Approximately 2400 square ft.1st floor -            - two full bathrooms, 1 large living room (14x16), 1 small living room (10x12), and kitchen(10x12)2nd floor            - One large bedroom (14x16)            - Two smaller bedrooms upstairs, but you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other.Comps in the area range from 220k - 300k.Rentals Comps would be 1700 - 2200.The front of the house seems like it would be "picturesque" for small venue events. 

Venue is rented out for mostly weddings.

I would list the large venues in town that the cabin is near.

The resort is in a 7.7 acre land, has a hotel with 30+ rooms, restaurant, bar, wine cellar, vineyard, cabins, pool, event venue, etc. 

I recommend arriving at least 10 minutes early (depending on the event/venue) and bring business cards if you have them.

Plus what states that will be important for venue.

Then the key is that :1) you do active participation and not passive investment (eg: flip, rehab to rent and so on)2) leverage, but here is the key to do able to leverage there's time constrain, that time constrain is spread between notes/Fed Rate with cap rate ; that "window" create sizeable future appreciation of property.3) buy in good location, for example, buy only in DOM market where DOM is less than 5.by doing these three combined then we can always beat the stock market index.This is why if we're using statistical average as passive investment,stock market would better perform than real estate.But when we're the developer or active owners, then we could beat the stock market index. ...Also what's funny about stock market index is that the index is being helped by the top 4% that produces return (in today's example is the magnificent 7), as the number of top 4% keeps changing every decade or so, it creates a phenomenon as well that the best passive investment is always stock market index.
