Congrats on diving into this wild world.

No different than any other natural disaster... hurricanes in Florida, wild fires in California, Volcanoes in Hawaii, etc.Regardless, your property insurance will rebuild your house if it is hit by a tornado... so ultimately there is no reason to avoid the area because of that risk in my opinion.  

It's a wild ride, but if you hustle smart, that 9-5 could become a thing of the past.

Interestingly, they've recently negotiated a re-purchase price with us IF we bring new funding to the table.The rehab is required for several reasons: (a) correct the damage the bank has allowed to happen to the property improvements these past few years (known problems include completely destroyed pool makeover; wild animals living inside the residence; flooring missing in sections of the rec center building; destruction of the decorative main entry gate mechanism; lots of dead landscaping; as well as latent defects not known to us such as working plumbing, HVAC & water services) AND (b) expansion & upgrading of the accommodations (converting the private residence to a 2-story lodge with the restaurant/bar, reception/check-in, movie room, public restrooms, gym/sauna/steam room/massage therapy room; enlarged pool & deck area with climate-controlled cover for year round use; conversion of former restaurant/bar building to a general store selling venue collectibles & wearables, selected pre-packaged foods, sundries, RV & camping items, bagged ice & a propane refill station; construction of a free-standing event center; free-standing cabins; enlarged & upgraded RV park with its own small restroom/coin-op laundry building; outdoor activity areas; new landscaping & fencing; new parking area & entry drives (personal car & RVs).We know our target audience having created and operated the former version of this resort for almost years creating an initial membership base numbering about 1,100. 

I was flown in there by the developer it was wild nothing was built just nice maps and raised platforms were they pointed out where the golf course was going and lots you could pick..

Then, once the leak was fixed, I noticed that there were mushrooms growing out of my baseboards.

Actually alot has changed. 1 the rules are very well regulated now vs 2009 -2012 when it was the wild cowboy days and banks were screwing families all over the place (which is why my wife and I started doing short sales - help families out).2.

Do you trust Airbnb/VRBO wild range of actions through the years?
