Not sure of your mom's age, but while framing it would be good to determine locations / future locations for grab bars and throw a few extra studs in those spots.

I cut out rent (I've been house hacking for the past year and a half), most non-core expenses (bars, restaurants, clothes, etc), and all retirement savings contributions (401k, stock investments).

I’m an Associate Broker at Lynam Real Estate Agency in Bar Harbor and have experience helping clients purchase STRs in the Hancock County region of Downeast Maine.

A lot of money has been spent on restraints and bars.

That’s OK; just set a high bar.

That being said, if the cash flow is good enough with current rents that are all stairstepped to move up over the next 2-3 years, then exiting, i could absorb a longer time frame barring anything terrible happening financially to us. 

Every guest will need to use the bathroom, some guests will like to use a wet bar.

There is a handy search bar in the upper right that makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.

Originally, this was simply just to get out of the rental scene and gain some consistency, while also allowing myself to grow and build a life of my own without making someone else rich. 

The next meetup is 15 November, 630pm at Bar Louie's in South Loop.
