July 1 to Aug 15 STR revenue will cover the mortgage for the year provided that we spend that time staying with family and/or on a low-ish budget vacation.I'm not suggesting you move to this forgotten corner of the country, but look at a solid vacation rental market.

It did pretty well this summer as far as generating revenue.

(b) these persons that would have been non-productive are now productive (c) people are getting trained and learning employable skills (d) companies are highly incentivized for GROWTH (e) you've effected stimulus in net housing production but with NO added tax revenue draws because it's via an offsetting factor AND arguably a potential net GAIN via expansion of industry leading to mor employment and more income tax revenues. 

We came across a company called Seek Capital because, unlike other companies, they are willing to approve setting us up with lines of credit based on my wife's credit score and do not require a high monthly revenue like other companies. 

This is the biggest mistake we have ever made.

Although your reviews won't convey, the buyer can have some peace of mind that with future revenue that the first couple of months mortgage are covered while they make adjustments, build up some reviews and work out any nuances they need to.

The issue is advertising revenue and face time. it’s not in an advertising model benefit  to limit in mass posts.  

When owning a vacation rental, the biggest financial risks to you are from fire, water, and liability.A solid overnight rental insurance policy will cover you for all of these risks.
