And a single or double play is awesome.

Many of them won't be convinced by facts, such as how much revenue STR's facilitate in and around Asheville, and will continue to push debunked sentiments about affordable housing, but the threat of lawsuits might make them play nicer.

Again, fair play for a major business like this, but it's the old guard who have held up the forums for years, even with their technological ineptitude.

we invest in value add plays (no major rehabs) 10-40 units.

And right now the bigger cabins are not a good cash flow play but might be a great equity play when you look back in two to three years.  

Other than that, it plays no role in and has no relevance to the mortgage acceleration scenario."

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.

If you understand the math of it all it should come very clear, the game is NOT best played (1) buying in all cash, (2) buying and sitting on a property for decades on end. 

So things like, xbox/playstation ping pong for the kids maybe a turf strip to play some putt-putt for the adults etc...

You have to play in order to win, but if you never get in the game in the first place that in and of itself equals failure.
