The HOA manages only the common areas: signs at the entrances to the subdivision, the retention pond and couple of fences.Other HOAs seem to model the Gestapo and the fees are outlandishly high.David J Dachtera"Success is not a destination.

One investor, Ron Garber, and his wife take a cruise each year, at which time they set goals for the next year.

Just ask our last time share presenter. 3hrs later I had a free cruise package (upgraded the package at my choice/cost to a nicer room), $25 gas card, two nights in a Marriott, $100 restaurant gift card, and two tickets the comedy club. 

If you take into account of renting an entire house on BnB it's pricing is hard to compete with a hotel room(s) in major destination areas.As for small houses, I looked at a couple projects and thought about a desig for the "micro house" and it is extremely difficult to get them to pencil from the construction perspective on a large scale.

It's difficult to know how to go about this when I don't even have a moving destination yet.

Unless you have a rather prime location / intrinsic value in the property as a vacation destination, it may be hard to get the cash flow you are looking for without at least furnishing the property and getting 1 or 2 reviews up.

I've not listened to the pod cast, but I haven't had any decline or trouble with staying booked up.I only buy nice vacation destination rental houses and maybe that is the difference.

Here in SA guests tend to book less than a month before arrival, as we are a big drive in destination, while in other "fly" in markets they book months in advance.

The property is in Boone, NC which has become a (4) season destination town and has a 4 year University here.

I am specifically looking to build new partnerships with Real Estate Agents in the Destin, FL and Gulf Shores, AL areas.
