Full disclosure, I'm building a vacation home in Granby that I'm going to Airbnb and have some serious appreciation since I broke ground last September. 2) Hayden, CO - Hayden is 25 miles west of Steamboat Springs and is one of the few communities near a serious ski resort that has yet to really pop but it's on the verge. 3) Ogden or Provo, Utah -mountain fun in Utah is very accessible and the snow is even better in Utah than Colorado.

Full disclosure - I don't own a property near Olympic National Park, but it pencils out FAR better than the Smokies from a cash on cash perspective.The link below shows visitation numbers going back to 1979.

We did not add a clause, just made sure they signed all the disclosures and the the last two pages of the lease agreement. 

Note, lien, disclosures.

i always like to pull the jurisdiction's hearing examiner files for applications and approvals. it can give you an excellent idea of timelines, requirements, common issues, community pushback, variances and vesting, development credits, etc... you can make a public records request for these files going back a few years, and settle in for a night's reading - these are often very interesting.... no part of these records are exempt from disclosure, btw. all the best!

Also make sure you get an up-front fee disclosure from them so there won't be any surprises.The only exception to up-front fees would be any credit or appraisal fees (I don't charge them but many reputable HMLs do).

Disclosures: Optionee is / is not a licensed real estate broker and/or agent in the state of _______.

The reality is that with all of the disclosures required, especially in RE ownership, its pretty easy to find out an owners address if someone is willing to spend a little time doing so. 

Full disclosure I worked there about 18 years of my commercial banking career.

:-)In the interest of FULL DISCLOSURE...
