Offering the property on a lease-to-own basis might attract buyers who can’t immediately qualify for a mortgage.

Wow, maybe I need to move to the midwest those are quite attractive numbers compared to Portland Oregon.  

In some very attractive markets like coastal cities I can see it being worth it not to rent the unit or rent it only under very limited circumstances in the low season because the high season is just too lucrative to allow anything to affect those bookings.

Attractive digital marketing fliers, 3d tours, professional tours, rent specials, and competitive pricing all help too!

@Michael NguyenA lot of it depends on your market and what is more available and attractive. 

For that time frame it would not make sense to turn it into a STR as there won't be enough time to establish a history to attract good vacationers.

Also there is strict no refund policy, even from your wallet.

This sounds like a REALTOR attempting to attract buyers.

Below each snapshot of the sub-market reports I wrote, you will find all sources cited below each sub-market report.Here is an overview of Alexandria Virginia:- Old Town Alexandria is a major tourist attraction, with constant demand from businesses especially given its easy access to D.C. via the G.W.

The benefit here is that I cannot get behind on taxes and if I fall on hard times and my buildings are empty, my rent payment is based on my income, so I guess that is attractive.
