Maybe it's a church retreat group - now that's cynical even for me.  

For 4 million in the Smokies you could buy four 5/6 br pool cabins that would probably do $700k+ in gross rental revenue....and have plenty of income to buy your $4 million Colorado retreat! 

and Kyle as a N CA guy you probably know Clearlake CA.. and the subject of this that took them down was a lady from Marin county wanted to build a retreat of sorts on an Island in Clearlake that could never in a thousand years be developed.. i knew the guys that owned it and tried and failed to develop it before she came along.I ran into Remington right out of the great GFC and sent them a one pager on a program i wanted to do personally it was fairly complicated.. and since I have decades of lending experience behind me.. they were way to quick to approve me subject to me sending them 10k for due diligence.. did not ask enough questions and this was not a straight forward remodel loan or buy hold loan. it was a semi complicated financing model..

Says "Welcome to the Idaho Lake Retreat!"

Seeing what I can make throughout the different seasons, I'm looking at around $4k per month and $3.3k in expenses (between loan and 25% management fees, and odds and ends)It's about 20 min from the beach, in a mountain town overlooking the Med, but is definitely more of a retreat. 4 beds, 3 baths, beautiful terrace with a hot tub you can soak in while staring at the Med.

Renovations and appraisals are variables that rarely work in the investors favor, especially with price growth slowing or retreating.

That's what draws investors seeking a natural retreat from the city grind.2.

The place you @David Fileger speak of on SW 16th past SW 13th is called The Retreat.

For instance, I’m having a hard time marketing my investor retreat in Costa Rica that is coming up in September.

If it didn't pass the air quality test, then it's all retreated again and new samples are taken.
