All stomach issues disappeared overnight.

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. 

Many people try it and get bad education (which is often over priced) Think of it like any profession, it takes a lot of work and effort and you need a good mentor / teacher - it also doesn’t happen overnight.

What scares me the most is the social action side of Airbnb which could lead to overnight deplatforming because they do not like where you stand on social issues, or refuse to sign a pledge, or you put a quote from the Koran, Bible or Torah on the wall at your STR.  

Lots of discussions on BP about this; to LLC or not.I'm in the "not" camp. 

I go to a music camp every year where there are no dressers in their modern cabins. 

There are lots of people who want to go 'camping' but do not have an RV or do not want to trailer one. 

If someone is looking at Okaloosa Island (or any other area) with the goal of finding of investment options where they can make instantaneous cashflow or overnight appreciation .... well they are a dreamer or an idiot (sorry for the language, lol).

I'm looking for the discount in the boot camp section.

Personally, I fall in the @Bob Stevens camp; for the majority of first time investors get traction and take action before building the mythical dream team.
