The kicker is that the HOA put a charge of almost $5,000.00 onto my monthly statement .I called them on it, and the lady says that the board decided that they are splitting the bill between me and the neighbor with whom I share a wall on one side.

I will share this point as my closing comment.

Please share any info you guys have, we all appreciate it!

Also will be acting as G.C and will be on site full time.

Can you please share your experience buying or passing in a situation like this?

I wanted to post about occupancy, I know there is a wide variety of occupancy levels and ADR information out there but wanted to share mine and hear what others are doing.Seems there are several schools of thought - drop your rates and high occupancy or high rates low occupancy.We have 29.9% occupancy and an ADR of $633 per night.

If you have specific questions or topics you'd like to discuss, feel free to share, and I'm here to help!

If you'd like recommendations, I'd be happy to share my favorites. 

I'd try to find family/friends/network that would want to come in with you on it and share in the income.

I can share with you some of the connections that I have.
