Lake Coeur d'Alene is a natural deep water mountain lake with an average depth of 125 feet.

Plenty of experience preparing multi state returns and handling things of that nature.

For instance, with STRs, why won't an investor spend an hour on AirBNB for their area to identify listings that:1) rank the highest2) occupancy 95%+3) ADR $750+4) hosts have 2+ properties5) listings are branded with 20k+ Instagram followersetcThen, reach out to those top operators; as many don't have the time or gave up on cold outreach, yet they've done the hardest 90%, have skin in the game, and outcompeted thousands of listings nearby.

The nature of the remodel would make it somewhat hard to inspect if it was done right without being removed.

Bakersfield is also massive with nothing naturally stopping outward sprawl.

CAP from my calculation is +10% so naturally I am going to scrutinize.

The tenants have skin in the game so wont mess up (e.g., not pay rent).I'm sure you'll get it rented soon; but just wanted to share an outside-the-box option that was successful for me.

Being a natural cynic, it takes work to find the positive.  

I’m frustrated and getting mixed suggestions from family/friends who think they are experts with no skin in the game.

Modern lumber is also a lot more prone to termite damage as it is softer and easier to consume whereas old lumber is extremely resinous and naturally termite resistant.
