An NFL player that weighs 200lbs is at a different fitness level than the investment agent in Reno, NV. 

One was just acquired, the other is top of its market in a resort town.

I have a STR house in a resort town, but the city’s new stricter policies have really cut into my revenue.

From what I see on my deals is a lot of different names so the deals are spread out between a lot of smaller players .

Almost residential resorts.

Both Prosper and Lending Club offer loans big enough to cover your 50% down payment.Something I would never recommend to most people, but as a last resort -- if you absolutely knew you COULD pay it off any time you wanted, you could put the down payment or at least a big chunk of it on a credit card and float it between 0% balance transfer offers until you get it paid off.

DO you want to be near all the attractions like resorts and malls?

The writing on the wall tells us Airbnb will be the biggest player in this space very soon (if they aren't already), and I want a good presence on there, with great reviews and Superhost status.Just my take.

I have a connection to an older couple that are interested in selling their resort in norther Minnesota.  

Unlike your rental, my rental is in Orlando in a gated resort, so there are less outdoor space but lots of community facilities.
