Of course, I would always have the option to sell as my last resort exit strategy if I needed to for whatever reason. 

Although resort property is not cheap.

STR's hurt locals, especially in small markets like ski towns.

It reminds me of crap comedians that can't make a joke so they resort to obscenities and the shock factor.

Is the property value included in the listing price on a property with a performing resort/bed and breakfast?

It probably only rented 65% of the time in the winter (Ice Carnival time was always booked); however, the real issue was spring time when skiing wasn't good, but boating/mountain biking/golfing/hiking was still too snowy and muddy. 

And, most visitors to Cancun go to all-inclusive resorts, not short-term rentals who can't compete for obvious reasons.

I think selling the house would be a last resort since you bought it so recently. 

@Robert Kough Home prices in Flagstaff that are ideal for vacation rentals are located downtown, west side, fort valley road on way to ski resort are extremely expensive for what you get.

I want so hard to get a colorado ski town home, but my TN properties make literally 2x for the same monthly payment.If you're looking for appreciation, then some place like CO could work.Paul always has good oil town suggestions if you want to be more hands on.
