About 3 years after investing in the property, the natural gas and oil boom moved into my area, and I was able to get a fat check from leasing my mineral rights.

LOLGotta get the oil changed in my Nash.....where's John?

If you buy a STR around some of the mountains (Sugarloaf, Sunday River, Saddelback) then you get a good balance of occupancy in all seasons with skiing in the winter, leaf peeping in the Fall and hiking/camping/fishing in the summer.

We are at the top of the market right now so its not shooting fish in a barrel like it was 4-5 years ago.

The MLS listing says the owner pays the oil bill which is a very large expense here in Maine.The oil for my 3-unit in Lewiston was about 3k for 2018.

I have a chance to buy a significant amount of property in Alaska (fishing lodge) that goes hand in hand with my fishing guide business. 

Think of it like fishing … it takes awhile but you’ll eventually get a bite.  

What are your thoughts on plug in scented oils?

The parking lot was packed with vehicles. last year you couldn’t rent any car from there short notice (had to go to Knoxville) Atleast we have low gas prices now, but that’s due to a drop in demand, hopefully opec+ doesn’t do another oil supply cut.  

Fish or Kayak or just snooze in the hammock.
