In ohio I can't file until after the tenants 3 day pay/vacate is up.  

I am looking for member insights on log cabins in the Great Smoky Mountain area..Anyone with experience in buying, selling or maintaining a vacation rental in the area can contribute and I would really appreciate any advise.We are planning to have it on a rental program for a few months until we understand the business.Location preferences / do and donts?

I have a bunch of clients that own condos in Tahoe and use them as vacation rentals when they are not using them... the rates are double or triple what it costs to insure a very nice owner occupied home.

I am going to turn one of my units into a vacation rental.

I'd like to flip houses in the retirement/vacation community I live in 50 miles north of Grand Rapids.

One of my favorite things is to receive rental income when I am on vacation. 

People would go on vacation in the summer and leave their sprinkler systems going - I don't mean programmed, I mean going - and water would be running down the edge of the street and into the gutter for a week or two non-stop.

I'm leaning towards multi-family rental and mountain properties for vacation rental but I still like the idea of project managing the fix and flip...only time will tell.Thanks everyone!

Sooo, I looked at a property the day before I went on vacation but didn't make an offer as I wasn't sure I could make it happen being out of the country.  

For example, do you want to build wealth to enjoy 15-to-20 years from now, or finance a vacation next year, or both?
