Hi @Ashley MillerBanner Elk is a great place for STR due to the busy summer season, ski season, and fall leaf color season.

Neutral colors work well, and energy-efficient upgrades not only attract buyers but can also qualify for tax benefits.

What does it tell you when a city can't afford to put a few structures with colorful lights for the holidays?    

Also im pretty sure he promotes section 8 rentals and gives you a story with rose colored glasses.

I didn't hear this from Buyers, but I personally am tired of seeing it.The previous 3 years we strictly did the grey/white, but now thats out least built color scheme.

I would add that you can go a long way just having some clean color schemes (two wall colors and one trim color will do almost any house) and a few tasteful accent pieces. 

Just different colors etc....He initially listed his for $505,000.There are comps in the area that justify the 495-500K.

I will also add that many independent travelers that do room rentals enjoy having their own fridge.To keep things kosher in shared spaces, my friend who runs PadSplit says every room comes with one colors or plates cups etc to ensure that guests are accountable for their own dishes.

I was lucky enough to find a property just a few blocks from my TK purchase that was in excellent condition, fully tenanted with two units, passed the inspection with flying colors and is grossing close to the 2% rule.

You need to watch the game, not watch the players, theatrics and colors.
