Since you mentioned the property needs a lot of work, if you could put in some higher end finishes into the cabin (kitchens and bathrooms), there would almost certainly be a pretty solid base of STR guests wanting to stay there - almost without exception, every modern STR cabin in Minnesota and Wisconsin that I've seen are all doing tremendous numbers.  

Right now the temps are 30 degrees and the lock is online no problems.

As active investments I own rental property and performing notes (performing right now!

The place wasn't trashed, but seems like they did no cleaning when they left.

You should always speak directly to the lender about this, but I believe the USDA loan can be left on the property and rented out if it is the Guaranteed Loan and not the Direct one.

I probably left out some important info that might be needed to give me a solid answer, so feel free to ask and I shall provide.  

I called my realtor immediately to explain the situation and left a message. 

Am I thinking along the right lines?

What strategies would you deploy to raise rents to get to the pro forma quickly without raising a ton of vacancies right away?
