Currently researching VR opportunities across the border in Baja, MX so feel free to hit me with any tidbits of advice, pitfalls, connections etc!

Matterport has some great samples on 3D Tours and VR Tours.

VR will change how people buy and rent houses.Pascal Wagner and a few brave volunteers showed us how Walkthrough’s SteamVR-based Virtual Reality system will save homebuyers and realtors days and weeks of time up front when checking out a place for the first time.

Any feel as to an up and coming location for vacation rentals? Looking to get a beach house, thinking Topsail over Wilmington, but looking for advice. Thanks!

I'd love to hear from PM's on their best practices or options and landlords as I want a great tenant but also want to manage my VR to keep it as low as possible (and yes I do budget for 5% VR annually).

Not a bad place to have a VR, I imagine.

I know one PM that recently told me one of his VR is empty because it lacks these amenities.

Keep in mind if it is in a gated community you may run into issue with trying to operate a VR, not just from HOA rules, but from unhappy neighbors, having people in an out of the gate, etc.

We are looking into buying a VR and will need to use a cleaning company to do change overs.

Lou,My numbers are below, and come with the following disclaimers:Ignore returns % (They aren't programmed correctly)30 yr am and 5% (might be long & light)I forced 15% of and on my investment as a return (I usually do 10% each)8% Management (I dropped this from my usual 10%)7% Vacancy (I dropped this from my usual 10%)7% Reserves (I dropped this from my usual 10%)The Management, Vacancy and Reserves are ON TOP of the seller's numbers, which include those items in their expenses.With my model, I look for positive cash flow after it's all said and done... and this property does that, albeit at slightly lower Return/M/V/R than I like... but it looks like it could be a winner if the numbers hold.
