Again, if you feel like selling it you'll be in a good position to do so in the upcoming months(Spring-Summer season).

All this can happen within 30-60 days unless your town has a specific perc season and you don't have sewer access.   

If you’re referring to the “newbies” with $10k to their name that watch a video by Pace and get excited and pay for joining, go out with their last $5k and do a sub to with a “desperate” homeowner without revealing all the possible consequences (because they are unaware of the consequences through lack of experience and lack of knowledge and or choose not to inform the seller) then I agree, it’s probably going to turn out badly for all concerned.If on the other hand you’re referring to a seasoned investor with excellent credit, significant cash reserves, who wants to add a property to their portfolio without going through loan qualifying, and can pay enough to give the seller “walking away” money because of the low existing interest rates and or, and is dealing with a informed seller, then I find nothing wrong or negative about the transaction.  

This may also fluctuate by season in some markets. 

I generated the list by combining Zillow's smooth, seasonally adjusted home value dataset (ZHVI) with their rent index (ZORI) for metro areas.

I don't know your specific market all that well but have you done some analysis on your ADR during the high season X your high season occupancy rate and determined whether taking lower priced slow season bookings vs letting your property stay vacant during the winter averages out in your favor?

The data points they use made me feel like it got my pricing right and I feel much more confident about what my nightly and seasonal rates are now. 

We own and manage two and one is particularly difficult during the shoulder (slow) seasons.

While we sympathized with their situation and wanted to help during the holiday season, we decided to stick with our policy of returning deposits only after move-out.
