I'm visiting for the holidays so would love to do a coffee chat if anyone is up for it! 

Weather cools, people are busy with school, resting from summer, prepping for the holidays, etc.

Carpet throughout (as Minnesota gets frigid in the winter) What was the outcome?

I'm finishing up the last of my engagement letters for next year and I know many of us will have sporadic availability for tax planning after this week due to the holidays. 

We like the short-term rental idea because we could stay at the property ourselves when we want - summer break, spring/winter breaks, etc.Our budget will be right around $1M or less ideally, and we would like a short distance to the ocean.How likely is it that we could find a property as described above and have it cover or come close to covering the mortgage? 

Happy holidays. 

Hope everyone had a great holiday!

I don't know your specific market all that well but have you done some analysis on your ADR during the high season X your high season occupancy rate and determined whether taking lower priced slow season bookings vs letting your property stay vacant during the winter averages out in your favor?

Winter can still do well but we are not quite close enough for any ski mountains. 

There should have been but this was missed in the rush of holidays and high traffic.
