Easy to make updates and reprint to put in nice 3 ring binder.Many people are not logged into Vrbo besides person making reservation and appreciate being able to easy get information.

Quote from @Kenzer Hodgson: Quote from @Trent Reeve: personally, i think a dynamic pricing tool will pay for itself (should be around $20/month). it will help with far out/near time pricing, minimum stays, etc. 

Based on my experience, you're right that many lenders allow the use of a second home mortgage for properties intended for personal use, provided you meet certain conditions.

However, its downfall (and really what makes it so easy) is that it is a single-entry system. 

The only issue we have run into is the prices and bidding wars.Every single home we have looked at for personal use or an investment seems to have 5+ offers and go MUCH over asking.We are currently looking at Bay Park / Clairemont / Carlsbad / Oceanside. 

In tight inventory markets like Boston, I encourage clients to clearly define their purchasing criteria, start looking, and then be patient.Some of the best deals I have seen or experienced personally happened during unusual circumstances.

Just make sure you account for Denver’s higher property taxes, insurance costs, and the ever changing landlord regulations when running your numbers.Feel free to ask more questions about the area or strategies—I’ve helped clients with similar goals and have personally done house hacks and short-term rentals around Boulder and Denver.

I love the concept especially given the need in your market for storing things like snow machines, boats, rvs etc, but also for repair or general "fab shops".As long as you are seeing the demand in your specific market for these spaces, and perhaps its worth getting some leases signed up prior to breaking ground but thats a personal preference thing, I think the numbers look promising if the use case is there.

Since you're new to real estate (according to the title), you really don't have anything to base it on other than your own personal experiences staying elsewhere.

I live out of state so no way to talk to a local person these days.
