Also, be up-front with your realtor because they will drop you like a hot potato once they learn you can't close deals.

I feel in this market it is difficult to get outsized returns (S&P seems very hot and might be hard to sustain 7%+ returns in long term.. but even if so, I’m risk adverse so would probably keep it my HYSA)I did run the numbers if I were to prepay $60,000 now and it appears the IRRs are lower (because of the higher cost basis).

Anything that's quick and easy to purchase when someone is washing a car on a hot day. 

You can also charge more nightly for big amenities like a hot tub, game room, or things for kids. - Design: design goes hand-in-hand with amenities for maximizing revenue.

That or pay a 6 cap for a 60 year old building with Billy Bob Hot Dogs as a tenant.

And hot on the tail coat is now an ever growing list of knock-off's trying to steal the thunder.  

If the competition has hot tubs, you need a hot tub.

If you have a mountain cabin maximize the hot tub area and the cabin interior, etc.

While the West End market has been hot this past year and will continue to experience high demand, pulling comps from 7-8 months ago is ill-advised.

From an amenities standpoint hot tubs are very high on the list, that being said I have in town properties without hot tubs that do very well but it is not an expected amenity.
