Looked at Colorado Springs and a few other places, but fell in love with Raleigh for the trees, access to both mountains and beach, and STR does really well here.

Even if he doesn't go through with the sale, he'll likely put it back on the market next spring.

Any suggestions - especially in regards to high value bills such as electricity during summer when air conditioning is on-  are highly appreciated. 

Most people stopped buying when COVID really hit the world hard in spring/summer 2020.  

From air rights to zoning laws, it can get complicated but I believe with the right team of people, it’s possible to create opportunities where others didn’t see or gave up soon.  

Closing on our first STR this month in Cold Springs. 

I had my tax guy open an LLC for me this spring, but don't know much about maintaining it.

Phoenix/Scottsdale is a great market as well, especially airbnb's during spring training. 

I had my plane at Thermal for an entire winter and did a lot of the socal airports Catalina ( very cool) the most south I got I think was Borrego Springs..

The best advice he gave me was ,  If you can throw 10 grand in the air and let it blow away and it wont affect your life , thats money you invest . if you cant afford to lose it , dont invest it .
