When the market tanks and prices retreat 25%.

Are you or is anyone you know knowledgeable in student housing, senior housing, parolee housing, vacation rentals, church retreats, travelling nurse lodging, corporate housing, group travel, or anything related?

Beyond that, my husband and I do a quarterly business retreat where we get away for a weekend where we can focus on our business goals with no distractions around.

I have some goals around owning vacation rentals in the greater seattle area, long term (retreat center sort of idea) but am focused on trying to get my feet wet first.

Mega-investors retreated from the market relatively more quickly than the other three groups — large, medium and small investors — as small investors (those who own fewer than 10 properties) were purchasing an increasingly larger part of the investor share.”Take away is all investors are finding it more difficult to acquire investment properties.  

I took a property that no one wanted bc of the odd layout and turned it into a couples retreat and make more money on that one that the regular property in the same town.

Yeah, I think the best opportunities to try to break even & cover your costs in the Poconos are either on the high end of the market or the low end of the market.Either go all-in & buy a dazzling $700k+ lakefront house in Lake Naomi, rent it for a ton, and hope to cover your extremely high costs.Or buy a $70k house in the middle of the woods, slap a coat of paint on it, and get whatever you can in rental income and at least your monthly carrying costs are relatively low and you’ve got yourself a nice little retreat in the woods.Can I ask how much that place you were targeting was listed for?

They also discussed how they took the idea of an off-site business leadership retreat and placed a focus on family.SO, how do you approach goal planning? 

Curious if anyone here has grown a retreat center network/franchise for spaces that accommodate around 30 people on 10+ acres.
