It was a wild ride with many challenges!

Don't get me wrong I am happy to ride that wave for as long as it lasts and hopefully it will be forever, but the reality is that is what it is for most of us.Of course in my experience with council/zoning meetings the irony of this kind of thing is that it is often the "don't tread on me" types that are in favor of STR restrictions because the idea of a "transient" population in their living area terrifies them.

I've been enjoying the BRRRR strategy for years and its been a real blessing and fun ride.

This is my first deal and its all very exciting, just dont want that to over ride the logic.

Definitely make sure the numbers work for the refinance, but my gut instinct would be to hold onto that property and continue to ride the appreciation wave. 

Hi Jean,Stock it with fish and have fun fishing all summer.Plant wild rice and maybe Ducks will show up--beautiful creatures to watch, and some people hunt them.Build a dock and toss in a small row boat....for romantic evening rides and something for the kids to play with.[1]>>> Have it tested for chemicals...some of these ponds have a years of farm runoff in them--pesticides and manure--it would be a shame if it's toxic.[2]>>> See if the sides go straight down (like a farmer scraped it out for whatever reason) and it would be dangerous vs. like a beach.Good Luck!

Not always easy changing horses mid ride but might be needed.
