People watch HGTV and it looks cool.

@Joe FairlessThere are 4 reasons vacation properties appeal to me. 1- They are what got me thinking about REI in the first place. 2- As I mentioned to Sundeep, from my very inexperienced point of view, it seems like they have the potential to generate a lot of income - if the occupancy rate is high enough. 3- I like that the "rent" is paid up front. 4- I thought it would be cool to be able to stay in my own property in areas my family likes to visits

I am only going to put 10% down.OK cool.

I know a lot of people who hear a little bit about what I've done and say, "wow, that sounds cool, I wish I knew how to do that".

I'm a Realtor here is Noblesville and my business partner is a successful owner of a heating/cooling company.We have not done any deal yet- but that will hopefully be here soon.Very anxious to network with other local investors and expand my knowledge.

Either way, for them to say one thing and then not be able to follow through is definitely not cool; but in the end it may just be a matter of whether the place is worth an extra 2k to you.I'm assuming you've gotten several credible quotes about how the flood plain issue will affect your insurance?

Cool project!

@Sara Cunningham Very cool, thanks for the welcome!

And they have the best shoe store ever- Becky's Shoes.You guys sounds really cool!
