The area receives over 1MM visitors per year, and new amenities are continually added, however there is a lack of quality lodging.  

Because it was a screaming good deal.....

I will likely only buy a house that I can get an inspection done on (as it will be my first), but sometimes screaming deals come across cash only, as is.

The area has year round visitors.  

My part of Montana is near Glacier National Park and we have seen record number of visitors to our Park this year. 

It's where I started out, it's very profitable, and I live only 2 hours away from the area, which is swarmed with visitors almost all year around.It's a little bit more hands on than my traditional LTR, but once you have the right systems in place, it literally takes just a few minutes a day to manage. 

For example Lawton OK is home to an Army Basic Training and another training mission, that means that you will have a lot of visitors every week for graduation and instructors who live off base (if they can find suitable housing).

Since the local market is still screaming hot,  we had our realtors stop by.

If first trying to decide between Oahu and Maui, I point to this statistic to my clients who are having similar conversations: "Oahu sees 47% of visitation to Hawaii but only 28% of home and vacation rental activity according to JLL’s survey of visitors, which is deemed representative in that Oahu has the most established hotel stock of the islands." 

I think if you start out asking for seller financing from the start it screams "I have no money and can't do this deal without your seller financing" so I'd recommend establishing an agreement/deal first, and then seeing if seller financing is a possiblity.We had a panel of people who had successfully used seller financing, a few months back at RIREIG, so if you want to talk to people who have successfully found/done/created seller financing deals, that's one place you could go to make some contacts and ask about it some more.
