. $100,000 in gov fees for a single family is nuts .

I think you could pull people nearly year around for STR (Dells summer attractions, hunting seasons, fishing, and winter sports).  

Note I said try, I did't say "get leads".WHat you need to do, is calculate the cost/deal, and then figure out how much money you are missing to make a deal, get that money and only THEN start.If the cost/deal is 1000 dollars for cold calling to make a deal, it doesn't matter how many times you spend that allotted $200/month to fish for a lead that closes.

If it involves species and the federal government, it might be a money pit or a long long long long time coming in with decisions from them.So you own a 20 acre pond...develop the shoreline with (cabins, houses, mansions) highest and best use structures.Make it into Utah's best fishing experience, stock it with all kinds of fish and charge a use fee and rent bass boats.Plant wild rice and see if wild ducks on flyover to Canada notice it and set down there.

Appreciate everyone's feed back, it helps knowing I'm not the only fish swimming in these waters.

It has been and still is going nuts with growth and development, so I knew the demand for Short Term Rentals is here.

I for one would love to hear more on the nuts and bolts of how others kept some liquidity and reserves as they grew and scaled their portfolio!

However, the area has grown like crazy (one of the fastest growing areas in the country) lately and commercial space is starting to go nuts.  

Ya it's pretty nuts, showings getting triple booked and having to crawl over other Realtors to see a place.

The biggest risk I see, when combined with these things I've mentioned, is the inevitable income tax changes that will have to happen to pay down this nut that's grown over the last couple of years along with social security and medicare solvency.
