My conclusion is that Oregon offers some of the most investor friendly coastal property operating expenses and value in the country. 

Some of these properties are offered at a fraction of the market value which is one of the reasons investors are incentivized to buy.

If you care about the long-term value of your home, absolutely do not remove the garage.

You are exactly right, the houses that stand out (wetland view, kids game room..) have already more reviews on Vrbo in this subdivision.

If you can rent the property in peak season for 1% of asset value per week you will virtually always cash flow.  

Valued at $200/coins."" 

Based on this value, the debt service would be $35.5K so CF would be $21.3K annually (over 10% ROI). 

They want more online leads, but I'm quickly learning their bigger issue is outbound sales & marketing, i.e. understanding who their customers (and referral partners) are and engaging them meaningfully.I've been lurking on BP and researching their build areas and it seems like their primary clients are developers and investors, not individuals building their dream vacation home (though they are part of the mix).Their value prop is dollar efficiency and speed.

For the basement unit, why are you renting it out below market value?

How did you add value to the deal?
