The StoryI was on Instagram and saw an Ad of this Swedish guy, Anton Wormann, https://www.businessinsider.com/moving-to-japan-abandoned-ho... who lives in Japan and has been taking old abandon homes (Akiyas) in Japan, renovating them, and turning them into Airbnb.

However, I can’t condemn a method of financing that has proved successful in many of not most instances in allowing participants to accomplish their goals because it’s being misused by some disciples of irresponsible real estate “priests”  Sub-To investors are slimier than the towels after a Deshaun Watson massage.

I even saw a listing that said you can have an in-room massage!  

Interestingly, they've recently negotiated a re-purchase price with us IF we bring new funding to the table.The rehab is required for several reasons: (a) correct the damage the bank has allowed to happen to the property improvements these past few years (known problems include completely destroyed pool makeover; wild animals living inside the residence; flooring missing in sections of the rec center building; destruction of the decorative main entry gate mechanism; lots of dead landscaping; as well as latent defects not known to us such as working plumbing, HVAC & water services) AND (b) expansion & upgrading of the accommodations (converting the private residence to a 2-story lodge with the restaurant/bar, reception/check-in, movie room, public restrooms, gym/sauna/steam room/massage therapy room; enlarged pool & deck area with climate-controlled cover for year round use; conversion of former restaurant/bar building to a general store selling venue collectibles & wearables, selected pre-packaged foods, sundries, RV & camping items, bagged ice & a propane refill station; construction of a free-standing event center; free-standing cabins; enlarged & upgraded RV park with its own small restroom/coin-op laundry building; outdoor activity areas; new landscaping & fencing; new parking area & entry drives (personal car & RVs).We know our target audience having created and operated the former version of this resort for almost years creating an initial membership base numbering about 1,100. 

Upsells include concierge services, butlers, parking, local tour guides and activities (affiliate partnerships), renting different parts of your property at the same time to different clients, romance packages, spa packages, up charging for high end amenities, massage/wellness packages and affiliate partnerships. 

Update:I massaged the numbers with USAA and by maxing the deductible ($10k) I was able to fall within my estimates for this property.

Feel free to massage me. 

For less than $500K I am getting the following 2 Houses--3/2 mobile home - my family home -- 4/2 Metal home - Airbnb 1: similar properties average $6K/month.            2 separate garages ( one is ready to convert to extra master - has windows, insulation, and ready for paint)1 Shop - 1,200 sq ft metal building with electric, plumbing, and water -1 Shed with toilet - wellness spa ( I am licensed esthetician/massage therapy)3 - 600 sq. ft. 

Thanks for your massage.

In quickly looking at this, I'd be careful that I wasn't sub-consciously massaging numbers on the front end in order to make sure I hit $100/door per month (Because I caught myself doing that numerous times when doing analysis).
