STR hosts, what's your go-to strategy for filling up bookings during slow seasons?

We can help with ground-up construction loans for owner-occupied homes?

@Kris Maiato, did you end up purchasing in Gilford?

Real estate went up 50% in value last 5 years.

A husband and wife were caught in a volatile situation—he ended up in jail, then came back out, and their home became a battleground of chaos.

What I've thought of:-Offer to show my bank statements for up to 10 years showing I make enough money-If for any reason I cannot make my mortgage payments at anytime, I will agree to sign over the deed.I don't have any friends or family that would co sign, so I'm not sure what to do!

You could also possibly partner with a relative who knows / trusts you to make up for any shortcomings you may have.After that, presuming you have good credit, you can go to a mortgage broker and they will evaluate your credit and financial "worthiness" against their requirements for their lenders to lend to you.  

It is not something my partner has heard of before and her family and other guests have stayed at the home throughout and summer, up until 2 days before this renter and they have never mentioned it. 

And lower rates won't fix that.Prices going up help that a bit because then the premium to buy a new construction home and pre-existing home isn't as great. 

This strategy can help reduce utility expenses.Mid-term and short-term rentals can have utility costs up to 10% of gross income, including electricity, water, gas, cable, lawn care, and pest control.
