Are you buying paper on raw land that land developers sell for recreational tracts through out the west  and or like time share or campground paper ? 

Sell off timber, hunting/recreational area, what?

The 379 metropolitan areas surveyed were evaluated in nine categories: housing affordability (cost of living), transportation, jobs, education, climate, crime, health care, recreation and ambiance (museums, performing arts, restaurants and historical districts).

I just didn't know if I was going to be able to recreate the durability with the products on the market today especially since the plan is to keep this as a long term rental.  

Watch how the real estate moves after the legalize cannibus recreationally.

My advice would be to make sure you find free/inexpensive recreation and take advantage of it so you don't go nuts while you are cutting back to save.

Slow pitch would definitely be a fun recreational alternative...or a REALLY boring one.

I use a property management company to handle the day-to-day operations and so I only use a simple spreadsheet to keep track of my revenue and expenses month  by month (with a year summary to give my accountant).I can't remember where I found the spreadsheet template (i think i just googled it, but you could easily re-create something like this).Hope it helps!
