Your focus should be on avoiding loss, not earning extra.

I often wonder if the remote location (20 minutes up the mountain) is a turnoff and travelers are starting to prefer motel-like accommodations that are close to the main highways.Houses in the middle of the woods with no view, houses that are non-cabin style like they belong in a normal major city suburb, no game room, no deck to take in the view, no hot tub, no area for a fire pit, no room for extra activities like corn hole or throwing the football, poor driveway, steep entrance, tons of stairs etc.

And this is all assuming you pick just the right price that you don’t sell it for less than it’s worth or it lost it for too much and it sits on the market for an extra month or two. 

. $950.00 extra is not worth the headache of losing people on the ground there...

Either way, it is more work for them, and they don't like extra work any more than we do.

Willing to work as an extra hand or anything like that for a house flipper with experience to kind of get that hands on learning that I need!

If you stay for the evening workshops it extra. or $ 159. 3.  

Our rents were covering expenses with an extra $100 or so after paying for everything.

FHA might work, just get out the spreadsheet/calculator to figure out if the extra PMI is worth it, or even feasible. 

I maybe would've shaved off $5-10K extra in reno is all that I could've done.
