To add a little more detail, we currently don't have a reserve that we could use for a down payment on a new property, and it would take us about 1.5 yrs to really build that up considering that we are in the process of paying off CC's from our wedding.

@Andrew Merritt I think most of the folks visiting are there to see family, attend things like weddings and graduations, etc.

I have a wedding the day before but I think I am taking an early flight Oct 6 to make it to this awesome event!

To increase your nights booked, set M-Wed as single night minimums and drop the prices to bring down your average nightly rate.

There is also a breakfast meeting every Wed. morning at the Athens Restaurant on Harrison Ave. in Canton at 8:30am. 

Or, they could go with a house that is 5 bedroom for $400 a night, have a back yard and a place to have dinners together and have a lot more privacy than a hotel.Or a college reunion, or a wedding group and so on.They save money and get better accomodations by pooling their money.

I would not marry him right now if we weren’t trying to start a business together simply because rings are expensive, signing papers is too, and ceremonies.

I had to go to Seattle for a wedding last month.

When the Boss is away, the mice will play.Maybe it doesn't have to be an all or nothing decision.You could take off every Monday, Tue, Wed 100%, or not start any work until 2pm and then shut down at 4:30 pm 7 days a week.Maybe have a backyard cabana with a bullfrog hotub, a grill, a comfy snoozable deckchair, and refreshments for your non work times.A get away from work at home type of thing (do not underestimate the soothing effects of a hot tub).Good Luck!

IMO, if you focus your business on investing in properties that have staying power, you'll do just fine this year: i.e. aren't overly trendy in the sense that it would require regular updates or paint jobs, market to a specific core audience that your neighborhood hosts often [i.e. families, spring breakers, wedding guests, business trips, etc.] has the right amenities for the location, has good photos/descriptions, doesn't "surprise" guests when they arrive, and has a reliable hosting with high-quality communication.
