Thanks everyone and I'd love to meet up for coffee one of these days when we aren't harvesting honeycrisp. 

If you harvest them and plant new ones are you holding for productive use - seems like it to me. 

Sacrifice now to harvest later.   

Another reason it’s a bad option for syndicator when working with these types of crowdfunding sites is that you don’t get to harvest the investor list for repeat business.

I'm paying 125,000 for it, plus renovations, which all get rolled into escrow.My goal is to keep the house, but harvest the equity in a few years to spring into rental properties.

Good luck...Yeah - I 100% agree with you ... this was just harvesting some material before the backhoe comes in and knocks the thing down.  :-)  Unfortunately no cool moulding or door knobs or anything of much interest... just the original fir floorboards (*beautiful* tight grain) we'll do something neat with.Been working on this project for 20 months or so - it's an urban subdivision and new home construction.  

The basic data points as I think of them:---What is your gross rental income per booking---What is your cost per welcome basket---What is the increase in chance of a repeat booking, based on the presence of the welcome basket---Secondarily, what is the change in likelihood of a great review, based on presence of welcome basket     If you have a high gross rental income per booking (say average $5k per booking), and you can offer an incredibly high impact welcome basket at a low cost (say the basket costs $20 but includes dates harvested from the date palm trees located on the property), you will likely find this yields huge returns in repeat bookings and reviews.    

Nonetheless it's an extremely new area and I'm curious as to if I should make the jump here or raise my price limit and look into other well-established areas with solidified school systems such as Pearland, Katy, the newer areas of Richmond (Long Meadow, Harvest Green...).
