Memorial Day to Labor Day will pretty much take care of itself, but adding in amenities like a hot tub and a sauna will help you draw in more traffic and bookings even when there's a foot of snow on the ground.Just to touch on the LTR option, I don't know if this would get you the kind of returns you'd be looking for to even cover your mortgage, let alone cover any maintenance/capex/management costs the property might require. 

@Richie Thomas - just curious, have you ever stepped foot in Hazel Green? 

For a 3,000 square foot house here is how much these “disasters” can costFoundation - up to $75,000Mold - Up to $150,000Termite damage - $40,000Structural issues - unfixable  

They also are really appreciative if they don't already have a wall mount so me buying it goes a long way in starting the landlord/tenant relationship off on the right foot. 

Also, could anyone give me a little more information on what I might expect to pay in price per foot for this type of construction in Anchorage? 

And so on.A single short sale (in this particular scenario) simply puts a band-aid on a severed foot.

I have identified an ideal location, and the agent has informed me that the rent is $45 per square foot NNN, plus an additional $5 per square foot.Upon calculating the total annual cost, it appears that I would be responsible for over $80,000 per year.

I'm located in Natomas area learning the real estate world getting my foot in the door.

The median home price per square foot in Chattanooga is about 35% lower than in Nashville, which helps lower the barrier to entry a little.On that note, we’re personally seeing quite a few deals pencil out in B/B+ neighborhoods within the 37406 and 37411 zip codes.

Many standard contracts state that if you keep the deposit, you are relieving them of additional liability.
