So many of us use self-directed IRA’s (solo) or GRP’s and obviously can’t invest that in our own opportunities.

There are an abundance of opportunities

Plenty of great opportunity outside AVL city limits and people still consistently book outside city limits.Homestays, in my experience and from those who discuss them with me, are difficult to aquire at this point.

I’d just like the opportunity to get the first hand insights of someone who’s actually purchased and run a park.

The option consideration is just what it says: the opportunity to purchase the property for a price in the future, but not the obligation.

It's a great opportunity to network.

@Jeremy Johnson my advice would be to be to never ignore a good buyer with little to no transaction fees particularly if there is a hefty profit involved. 1031 is a good option but also don't overlook other options such as just paying the capital gains tax (gasp) or rolling it into one of the new opportunity zone investment funds.Make sure to negotiate a great long-term fixed lease for your own business as part of the transaction assuming you want to stay there.

In an ideal situation I would add an additional partner that would focus almost exclusively on locating another owned rehab opportunity and to relieve lease up or financing issues from yourselves. 

So now I only invest in "superior" opportunities.  

Many museums that allow photos nowadays play with variable-colored light in their indoor spaces to keep tourists with nicer digital cameras from accidentally getting the highest-quality shots of their pieces.The appraiser is going to get fewer opportunities to get shots to justify a lowball appraisal if your property is very bright and the lights are at the daylight-colored range.
