During this time, they rent their houses out to Southern Michigan vacationers that come up to ski and participate in other winter sports. 

How about a rentable common space for parties, sports events, game nights, etc?

Also, you can appeal to groups that are vacationing, life event, sports, and business travel.

We live in very rural area, but we are also around 5 miles from a man-made lake that is a popular vacation destination for water sports, fishing, rock climbing, and hiking.

@Jay Hinrichs They are very slick when they advertise how good their program works when they are flashing the mansion and exotic sports cars as some sort of proof what they have is the real deal.

I started getting interested in real estate my senior year of high school when I forgot a book for my English class and picked a random one of the shelf of my sports marketing class.

My interests tend to be on the technology side of the spectrum with sports mixed in.I bought my first condo in Boston at the end of 2012 with the plan to live in it for a few years, then buy another, before renting the first out.

Those poor show boats can be bought and sold by the truly wealthy who have true wealth measured in net worth not income.Long ago I was a car salesman in an area considered upper middle class, day after day those people would come in wanting to purchase big, flashy sport utilities.

I was very good at sports and that helped because several of them where fans of the youth leagues with kids of their own playing.

I am a huge sports guy and if you ever need a ringer for basketball or baseball in NY, I'm your man =
