The initial plan is a 1200 sf build out with plans to expand back away from the cliff later as finances and interest rates are more favorable.

From my experience, you can use that savings to house hack with an FHA loan, invest in a turnkey property in a more affordable market, or even partner with others to expand your purchasing power.

I have other existing consumer products.So I would outfit the RV with Solar and Starlink to provide power and internet at all times. 

Speak with lenders early to understand your borrowing power, and explore multifamily properties to maximize your house-hacking potential.

Buyers have pretty much dried up and have the power currently.

So, Colorado vacation rentals will be taxed at something between the current residential tax rate of 6.7% and the commercial tax rate of 27.9%.

It has solar power, a compost toilet, and other things of that nature to be self-sustaining.

My GUESS is these homeowners have been tricked/screwed in to signing a long term power purchase agreement, often with no buy out provision.

I would say anyone who has done 5 flips is experienced and that success rate should be closer to 90% and up.

Small talk, showing empathy, and expressing genuine interest in their situation can go a long way in establishing trust and goodwill.Be Willing to Walk AwayOne of the most powerful negotiating tools is the ability to walk away.
