We're closing next week on an event venue with 10 lodging units on-site. 

(Starbucks / yoga studio / craft brewery /boutique cookie,coffe or ice cream shop  are the easiest targets)-Activation of dormant retail sites-Increased foot traffic For B to AAbove also apply-Home valuations (are homes in the increasing at rates above nearby or similar neighborhoods)-Is it walkable or are projects in place to make it highly walkable for residents-Is it near highly desirable activity centers -is it unique (for example - Can it get historic designation)

One thing you might think of doing is having and promoting your own website to avoid the exhorbitant fees charged by the third party sites such as Expedia, Booking.com and Air BnB.  

At first, I looked at the various real estate crowdfunding sites.

But, more commonly, they bring in the capital, maybe do a site visit before closing, and ultimately just forward an investor email to the main operator, then forward the response to the investor.  

I have spent time on the PaperStac site, but they seem like mostly “dog” notes and not ones that I would want to own or trust to buy.

Most values for this metric on this site are like 0.70% (Watertown NY for example). 

This is not yoursituation, but just to walk through the different thought processesin Holding/Selling that a friend of mine is going through.Helped my friend getinto the Self Storage business and walked him through the wholeprocess from evaluating the market, selecting a site, developing thesite, systems, financing, insurance, etc.

From the calculators I've looked at, it seems like it makes more sense very-long-term to hold on, but I'd love other's thoughts/resources (I'm not passionate about passing on as-much-as-possible to my kids when I die).From a blog post on this site about when to sell, one of the factors was when things have appreciated more than the rents in the area- but I wasn't sure when it was 'enough.'

Close to a cool little town, close to an area attraction, etc....Also do a search here and see how to screen guests, in addition to what the hosting sites do.... like no last minute bookings, no short stays....
