I plan to purchase land adjacent to higher end resort towns, design and build smaller, very modernly styled and mountain contextually sensitive homes.

I’m going to see if there’s any bandanas left, but probably have to resort to a t-shirt scenario

I’ve been a big fan of STR platforms in the past as a consumer but in this case I wish we had booked with a traditional hotel or resort seeing as those places are taking a more customer service-oriented approach.

We’re skiing in Telluride this week as we manage listings remotely. 

I am a Former owner of Three Rivers Resort & Guide Service in Forks Wa.

Personally, I wouldn’t want to pay interest on money I wasn’t using, but I guess if people quit paying rent I might resort to that strategy.  

I agree about Hard Money. that is my last resort. that's i wanted to ask for alternative routes here before i go down that path.

It was rental arbitrage and if we were able to keep it longer it would have made a killing (the first year we just recouped the costs to furnish it and get it up and running) but the owners sold it :(  However I'm very happy we don't have it right now, when the ski areas are shut down during high season and this virus is limiting all travel.

I say the resorts should reduce the resort taxes which everyone hates, and make all parking free.

Our ski resorts just closed all the lodges/cafeteria/rental shops.
