Snow and ice removal from walkways, sidewalks, steps, driveways, and parking lots, by us is a courtesy only and is not guaranteed unless otherwise specified in writing.

The biggest difference I noticed was that one house had an outdoor jacuzzi and a game room (3 full size arcade games, foosball table, and knock hockey table).

The STR market for short term rentals is all set to hockey stick as the country opens up but people still don't want to stay in hotels.

I think it was only marketed on VRBO and never over the winter season – which I think could be a draw with the holidays, ice fishing, and a few close mountains, or possible MTR to border patrol in the area.

And yes, if I can own the building in which my nail salon sits, that would be icing on the cake.

How much money will go into their pocket at the end of each month after they've paid all expense (Principal, interest, taxes, insurance, cap ex, vacancy, repairs, etc..)Usually when someone invests for cash flow they just look at the loan pay down and appreciation of the property as icing on the cake.

Killer idea and talk about an ice breaker.

I have not made any purchases yet, just getting started and would love guidance regarding how to break the ice and turn my goals into a reality!

That is why I prefer a line-item approach.Your model should show you the cost of tenant turnover: commission + vacancy + repairs + utilities + maintenance (lawn/ice). 

Everyone has an ice cream flavor that suits their taste.
