But now that that madness has mostly ended, I believe most families perfer all the amenities of a nice resort.

All of the best communities have resort amenities like guard gated entrances, clublhouses with gyms, restaurants, game rooms, movie theaters, volleyball, lazy rivers, tiki bars etc.

In the future - this will be used as a last resort.

Would love to expand more in VT (ski resort areas...still pricey), central/western MA, the Berkshires.

Im quickly learning that escrow seems to be the more important player in this.

I believe i've resorted to paying for help. 

Some people treat their STR like a hobby and others treat it like a business.You don’t know the numbers are based on if owners use it 3 months a year themselves, or manage it themselves and have STR knowledge or farm it out to a competent or incompetent property manager.In one area I invest in, the biggest players are all large direct booking sites with hundreds of properties so their revenue doesn’t show up on airDNA, etc.Use conservative numbers and understand your skills in terms of getting a property to be unique, marketing, listing management, etc. or the competency of the PMs you are interviewing.Good luck!

Hi my name is Shane O'Neill I am a current professional soccer player playing in major league soccer for Toronto FC.

Key player in Toledo, @Engelo Rumora I hear he does great things for his clients 

definitely like Franklinton, could see east Franklinton developing into a young/middle-upper class mixed use neighborhood (Boston Seaport) and west Franklinton developing to a township-style neighborhood in the long term (Columbus stacks in Ready Player One)
