My concern with that is the whole giving the rat a piece of cheese. will there be something else that bothers him?  

Purchase price: $1,000,000 Cash invested: $250,000Small Resort with 5 cottages 1/2 Mile to the beach. www.theshorebeachhouses.com What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Just went under contract for a beach cottage in Ormond by the Sea.

I tend to have a soft spot for dollhouse cottages.

Most likely you will have to deal with fading and weathering of the vinyl itself.If you have a beach front cottage that has full frontal to the ocean, every 5 years doesn't seem unreasonable to me.Here are a couple of sites that have decent infohttps://waterfrontcentral.com/...https://www.jlconline.com/how-...https://irwinpainting.net/best...

It is a 5 unit property that consists of 2 duplex's and a cottage. 

The other property is an A-frame in Ohio, near hillsboro. 2 bedroom, A-frame cottage for 125K, furnished. 

Or are you suggesting we build little cottages?  

The cost savings really comes into not having to run new duct and make the house swiss cheese.  

The last couple has more of an appreciation play than cash flow (not in the red, just lower cash on cash return) and we see an escalating rate as time goes on.These are 2 cottages on 1 parcel of land , so they ARE seasonal right now.That being said, my abutting neighbor , who we get along with very well, has decided to put her vacation rental on the market.
