I know you're not seriously looking at this deal, so of course you didn't waste your time collecting all the data - I wouldn't have either - but it's all that data that will make or break a deal like this, especially for a prop that will likely have cyclical income -  a vacation home is very sensitive to economic conditions, which makes them inherently more risky.

But If you are interested in investing in certain counties/zip codes, it is a good idea to read economic news of that particular location to know the short term and long term planning.

And then what happens in next economic downturn when folks vacation less?

If she’s a hoarder good chance she has some mental health problems.
