I am locked into a 30-year loan with a 2.8% interest rate, so refinancing doesn't make sense given the current high-interest rates.

The more you pull out the higher the rate.

Deduct NEW property taxes after you buyDeduct home insurance costsDeduct maintenance percentage, typically 10%Deduct vacancy+tenant nonperformance percentage(we recommend 5% for Class A, 10% Class B, 20% Class C, good luck with Class D)Deduct whatever dollar/percentage of cashflow you wantNow, what you have left over is the amount for debt service.Enter it into a mortgage calculator, with current interest rate for an investment property, to determine your maximum mortgage amount.Divide the mortgage amount by either 75% or 80%, depending on the required down payment percentage - this is your tentative price to offer.If the property needs repairs, you'll want to deduct 110%-120% of the estimated repairs from this amount.Be sure to also research the ARV and make sure it's 10-20% higher than your tentative purchase price.As long as the ARV checks out, this is the purchase price to offer.It is probably significantly below the asking price.

I don't know your specific market all that well but have you done some analysis on your ADR during the high season X your high season occupancy rate and determined whether taking lower priced slow season bookings vs letting your property stay vacant during the winter averages out in your favor?

The success rate will hinge largely on location, type of property, and cost of property.
