Companies that do not listen to their demographic lose a lot of money.If you feel pressed to consider the lake house, I would ask multiple property managers questions like the following:Would you buy this property for use as a rental?

I get it that the whole Disney v DeSantis thing makes for satisfying press but I guarantee it has negligible effects on anything when it comes to money. 

The trick is to position yourself as either the 1st person they call, or the last person they call.1st position: In this case you want people calling you who have a pressing time constraint that prevents them from getting their property market ready, listing it, negotiating and waiting to close.

I'd save that money for a more pressing repair.

I would have pressed forward on my  own and been in a terrible position. 

You'd be hard pressed to find a renter here without at least a few judgments against them!""

You can do that with press releases which need to be sent out 10 days before the EVENT. 

Either way, you are going to be hard pressed to get a unit nice enough to draw in visitors for the price points you described above.I hate to be a buzzkill but I want you to know just what you're getting into before spending your hard-earned money.Best of luck!

The OP expectations of $50k are hard pressed in this market. 

Yet there is really very little negative press on him (I looked when I engaged in a deal with him).
