Holiday season is more challenging for us, Christmas and New Year.  

-If not, then I wouldn't add $100k of 'Value' to the property just for having an established Pizzeria, since as a simple landlord, it all breaks down into the return calculations above (hinging on rent/mo from your tenants, whoever they are) which at your current estimates would leave you under-returning compared to a money-market account earning 5%.Now keep in mind, I have been discussing the long-term hold return of this investment.

If you have $100k to invest and put as a down payment, would you get 1-2 places that have a Cash on Cash (COC) of $500+ a month but no appreciation, or 1 place with a 5-8% appreciation each year but you break even or lose $200-300 per month on the mortgage by renting out? 

I would be willing to either pay for the access, or work out a deal where I could throw leads your way since I will be sending out a significant amount of letters.If this is breaking any forum or Realtor rules, please let me know, and I will remove it.Thanks

My mortgage payment is 800 and 1000 so when you figure in and account for the expense they basically break even.

Flu viruses live about 2-4 hours before breaking down on fabric.

There are always exceptions to the rule, but most people on here bought during Covid and a lot of pool cabins (big ones) have been empty most of the season except during spring break.  

This should really be the only year where we break that 14+ day rule so in the future it doesn't sound like we will have to prorate at all. 

(You can do it with STRs, and Airbnb is mostly what I'm seeing with my investor clients.)But we were breaking even with our first two or three rentals in Denver as well that we bought between 2015 and 2017.

If you want 10% returns you might have to look in another market, but if you want to park some money in a solid property, as long as it generates enough to break even after all expenses, taxes, etc. to allow you to hold on to it for 5-10 years I'd bet it will do better in the long run than a 10% cash flow property in a lower end market.
