I personally think the quality of life in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains to be good to great.

Will the mountain view home Cash flow?

Don't ever ever undervalue what you bring to the table!

You don't want any surprises at the closing table that could cause your seller or end buyer to walk at the last minute.3.

And truth is, you cut-your-chop's, do well and get good at things, odd's are you won't have any interest in a franchise PM system because you'll scratch your head wondering what value they bring to the table.

When we lost our primary home to the CZU Lightning Complex Wildfire in the Santa Cruz Mountains, CA in Aug 2020, 900 families just like us lost their homes and needed housing asap. 

I have found an off market property from someone that we were referred to by word of mouth who is selling a lot in the North Carolina mountains, the lot is a little over half an acre.

But since you own the lot that is now off the table.

The only vacation rentals I see at the 55% occupancy range are bigger mountain cabins catering to large groups.I'd like to think that's because they're buying right.

This can lead to a 'ghost town'-decide what kind of partnership you want, and what you bring to the table (ie use a SWOT analysis) Good luck
