Hopefully you got to the closing table. 

What I'd bring to the table would be researching and sourcing properties, cash for down payments and other expenses, and design and some finishing material sourcing.

I have no idea why she did not figure that out prior to going to the closing table.

Popular places to vacation are always a good bet.I suppose there are some developments coming in some states that will drive more tourism.Beach, lake, mountains, etc.

We had a verbal 1.25 on the table but we also had two other buyers in the process of offering, so we let that one go.

You can go to Redfin.com and put a search area in “list view” - versus map view and it will let you sort that area by all the table headers in the list - so you can sort them by $$/sqft for instance.  

We spend 6 months there in FL...usually in the snowbird season so we get the best of both worlds - mountains and beach!

I'm going to ride it out here for a bit on Avail because of the features I mentioned and their excellent customer service, but not driving tenants to my listings could result in thousands of dollars being left on the table. 

I highly recommend loading up on these gems.Being a rookie, I don't really have expert advice to offer however, I'm never a fan of leaving money on the table.

(It's broken down by market type -- resort/mountain, resort/beach, rural, etc.)Here's how much more RevPAR homes with a certain amenity get for the mountain-destination category.
