@Wells H. you can spend DAYS driving through Detroit!

I have a close friend who constantly drives up to the white mountains so can definitely understand the draw.

It is not walking distance to much but a short drive to a lot and generally a touristy area. 

@Damon AlbersI hate the alphabet rating system because it is such an arbitrary thing that boils down many important factors to one letter. 

@Stuart UdisAll great comments, seems like putting skin in the game will be a reassuring factor for any potential investors.

And this low demand could be a couple of factors, either a rural location with low population density or the area incomes are not high enough in order to prevent a rent burdened scenario. 

The cost of PM here is between 20 - 30 % and frankly, while they can drive occupancy, they often have lower rates and less attention to detail (I worked with one when I transitioned a new property that was previously PM managed).

And while yes, no one has the same pricing (combination of factors), I also continue to check on a regular basis our rankings and how we "present" on total costs per stay vs. our competitors.My gut says there is price creep and we might have a ways to go before the market really corrects.

I drive through there to our lakehouse and there are a few of these structures used for homes in the area.

Focus on what matters, not on things that have nothing to do with what drives the desired  results.
