I can tell you right now you're going to be hard-pressed (and that's optimistic) to find anything other than a rotting double-wide for $200k, even in Bremerton.

I am optimistic about both of them, but we'll see. 

The average time between booking and stay in my market is 24 days, so I am optimistic.

Here's my question:I'm optimistic there are good deals.

Assuming I could get $1k rent per room which I think might be really optimistic, I'd have to put upwards of 40% down to make this purchase cheaper than renting (assuming $1k a month rent that covers utilities, which I was able to find while I was in Seattle a few months ago).

Otherwise, most realtors naturally revert to being eternal optimists.

that may be a little optimistic to be fill time next summer, but who knows.  

I choose to be conservative, optimistic and think that at this time, we can still pull through.

Probably not, but don't assume it's the same as the residential units.I think 5% on a commercial loan is optimistic. 5.5-6% at least.Insurance might be a low considering the property value and the fact that there are commercial units (more foot traffic, more chance of something bad happening).What about heat and HW?

Am I too optimistic?
