You can also find many examples in the forums of people experiencing poor valuations due to lack of comps.

Quote from @Collin Hays: I suspect that the Smokies is your best choice, simply because it is a year-round destination. 

Penalties of these Federal charges may include:30 years in prisonUp to $1 million in finesIt's a Federal crime.I'm not currently at foreclosure, but am recently out of state starting grad school, no income, and home needs repairs that I simply do not have the money to make.

We never hired a manager because it simply would have taken too much out of our profits.

Very simply, large corporations pay into the tax base of that local community and that revenue is used to improve the community and make it a more attractive place for people to live.

This entire conversation in my opinion comes into play for a group or entity that may have 50-100 STR's where the branding will matter more but to be honest from what we have seen when they get that large they usually have lack luster service and subpar reviews- in the end someone that is 1031'ing mostly cares about that cash flow at that level and that's why and mostly only why they care about buying a brand. 1-15 units and a brand is nice but in my opinion wont break a deal- we are trying to do it but in the end its more for our guests to have a simple streamlined way to book with us.
