"Them Hillbillies ain't playing 'round !!!" 

Seems like there is always something that he can offer and plan a well rounded overall strategies depending on your particular situation. 

If you have STRs there: - Do you stay busy year round?

Maybe your perception was different, but I remember the sense we had at Wacker Neuson going through rounds of layoffs, dealers defaulting, order cancelations and no sense when the construction equipment industry would recover, or if there would even be a full recovery - ever.. nobody had ever seen anything like it. 2008 was bad, I think Lehman Brothers collapsed in October, by 2009 we had to assume the equipment industry would never be the same.

Typically, Mexican developers have a "friends and family" round before going to the market.

The first round of numbers looks like I'll get about 493K in my hands after paying off the existing debt and all the origination fees and closing costs.   

Did our normal rounds of our 7 locations.

I believe I've got enough work to hire a couple of people full time year round. 

Barely a rounding error in all of this.Obviously, not everyone is comfortable with that kind of leverage, and you're right that someone making 70k a year just doing it once for an extra 12k on their tax return it may not make as much sense for. 

There are a TON of other great things people travel to PHX and Scottsdale for, but if you're focus is solely golf tourism then you might want to consider an area with a year-round demand.
