What's missing from much of this discussion is a real understanding of what the property is, ten acres in the heart of upstate New York Finger Lakes wine country, the desirability of that property as a vacation property on the one hand and the value of it as a vineyard on the other, and how local government (especially Yates County) is systematically trying to fight against the encroachment of moneyed OOS vacation-home buyers/STR operators  in the area.This is not some bland normal place where normal people live and operate.

Sadly, we're an industry of amateurs, so you've really got to be careful who you do business with so you don't waste time or money working with someone leading you nowhere.Ultimately, you'll want an agent who has their finger on the pulse of the market... have they conducted research on all available rental properties in the area?
