Hi all.Looking at a 10 unit motel style building.

What style house?

I'm sure I can get the deal done and these are garden style 3-4 story walk up style which are the low end of market rate 

Also, zoning for village-style in  town development seems rare and difficult, in favor of large hotel and apartment projects.

Subdivisions, RV parks, resort-style developments/venues, storage, warehouses, small office, etc.

And while, to a degree those assets compete, they offer a different style of living, and thus are relatively insulated from volatility in apartment supply.

Dutchess county's parcel access has a "Sales" section in which you can filter by date, property type, building style, much like Zillow.

Run-of-the-mill homes aren't going to do as well, but if you're bringing the amenities, buying a home with some style, furnishing well, photographing it with a professional and writing a slick listing, then your vacation rental should hit 55% out of the game and be aiming for 70% by year two or three.

That's not chump change.

Not Warren Buffet style but easily enough money to live on.
