Your best bet is to find one that has flexible membership options, without high spend requirements.

The main drivers1) Local Inventory2) 10 year treasury(macro)3) Personal Debt levels(macro)4) Real Unemployment(not the unemployment number but real white collar job loss ratio'd to part time jobs). 5) Industry proliferation(can't tell me a tech or finance hub moves like a health hub).To tell me #2 will derive from the same inputs as it did in Sep/Oct, I'm willing to bet it won't.

The fact its in a landbank tells me that it was taken back for some reason, which tells me its likely not a high commercial demand for development, but I could be wrong.If it is "on the main drag" in this town then I'd think doing a new build home to do a targeted and intentional air bnb would be the best bet.
