Blackhawk, Boulder, Grand Lake all ok.

If it benefits you now, and a small cost differential ($5k in the grand scheme of things is not the end of the world)... even if the opportunity presents itself in 2 years, and you'd be throwing a bit of money away by refinancing before you've met your recoup.... you can look at it then and see if it's worth it.

I own several STRs in Grand County (Winter Park is in GC), though mine are north of WP a bit. 

Hello Everyone,New to STR and seem to have been spending nearly every night looking for possible STR properties in the Smokey Mountains (Pidgeon Forge/Gatlinburg) and Colorado (Vail/Dillon/Grand Lake) and analyzing comps using AirDNA.

ah, the ol' odor thing again. ain't it grand?

The person renting nightly doesn’t care how the grand total gets allocated, they just care about final price.

It is an extra 40 days, in the grand scheme of things if they move on their own and are paying the rent, that isn't a lot of time. 

It's not that expensive in the grand scheme of things and he saves me money on my tax bill.

You can find cash flow and your numbers will work if you do 30% down on a $300k purchase in Mesa, or if you look farther out you can find a deal on a new build and a lower interest rate if you use the builders lender on a new build in Florence, Coolidge, Casa Grande or Maricopa.
