I'm looking at purchasing a condo in a ski town/village to use as an STR and am curious what locations others have had success in. 

tiny home village for STR?

My one concern so far with their application, though, is their combined credit card debt, which is four times that of the average US household, and twice as high as the average for their income bracket (they also have student debt and an auto loan).

And like most things real estate is location location location.. and our little community of 90 homes borders a year round river ( the Mollala) to the South the finnest retirement community basically in Oregon called Hope Village to the north.

The manager and mngt company work in tandem daily to manage tenants, buildings, maintenance, contractors, accounting, escrow, HR, taxes, fair housing, municipalities, legal etc… It does take a village for sure. 

We recently bought on an auction a condemned 6-unit property (7200 sql) in Slavic village.

I'm hoping someone will clarify...RentsAdvertising / Auto & Travel / Cleaning and maintenance / Insurance / Legal / Repairs / Supplies / Taxes / UtilitiesMortgage interestDepreciationFor long-term rentals...what would be an example of CoGS?

Please advise your best practices to collect fee-free, auto-pay ACH to your bank of choice.

My original thought was to fill in the gulley and build a warehouse structure on it to rent out as either an auto shop or larger storage type facility.

You might get lucky.I'm dealing with my own issues right now as I have a 5 plex that is not nob and tube but is screw in fuses and the insurance company (auto owners) threw a fit and demand the fuse boxes all be replaced with breakers or they will drop me.I'm right down to the wire and they have issued a do not renew order until fixed because it has taken 7 months to get all the paperwork and consumers on board with the update.I have a really good electrician coming in two weeks now that he finally has his permits, parts and pieces, electrical company ready for the work to be done.The electrician warned that he was only doing this because he was friends with my PM.
