John, but has lower visitor counts than STT and STJ.

HeyLooking for input from other members running their short term rental properties.We are onto a new project where we have a small acreage that is nicely setup.3 bed/2 bath house that can accommodate 8-10 guests3 services rv pads that can come with newer trailers to accommodate upto anther 12 guests.The property is close to the lake, golf, kids activities, town etc and have a Great Lake view.Last year we added a large 1400 sq-ft deck to capitalize on the view and add a hot tub, 12x24 pool and lots of seating etc.This year was a large fire pit area suitable for 12-16 people.Next up are three choices and not sure what would give the most value (or do I do all 3)1.

I don't live in that area, but I frequently attend the State Fair of Texas and other events in the area...including the annual Texas/OU football game at the Cotton Bowl Stadium.Dallas voters recently passed a new bond to invest additional moneys into the Fair Park to continue to have it serve as an attraction for in-town and out of town visitors.  

Seek advice from lenders and brokers on finding a suitable real estate mentor, most will be able to provide one.

I will post the first meeting on Meetup.com in January, so we have a suitable venue in case we have a good turnout.Let me know if anyone has any ideas.

Reach out to agents, lenders and brokers for advice on finding a suitable mentor in the real estate industry.

Also, while there were suitable house hack properties on the market in my area, there wasn't a huge abundance of properties that I felt like fit what I wanted.My criteria at the time were: I wanted to buy a 2- to 4-family property (4-family properties were a lot more rare) in a safe (low crime) neighborhood and a good school district.

Then during said amount of time I need to find a suitable purchaser who agrees to pay x amount more than I've paid for the property so that I can make a profit.

Most families have two trucks or cars, with Visitors.

If your occupancy rate is not too high at the moment and you believe you can attract more visitors than sticking with an STR model and attempting to improve your marketing would be a good strategy to try.
