They also have a pulse on who in the area has successful property management businesses (maybe themselves)3) Search direct booking sites in your area on google like "Vacation Rentals In Allentown" and see if websites pop up that are not airbnb or Vrbo you could reach out on.

He has helped some of my customers here at the bank especially my Doctors, Dentist buying some unbelievable Vacation rentals and investment properties. 

Maybe get a vacation home that would excite him and STR it while you are not using it?

They won't think you're crazy when they see all pictures of you vacationing and doing the things you love with your extra money and free time.

I am wanting to purchase a vacation home, and also rent it out when we are not there.

A second home (vacation home) allows 10%.

I'm on vacation until Monday, but couldn't resist the keyword notification : ) Feel free to send me a text and we can get a call scheduled. 

Luckily for me her lease ends next month so hopefully she will vacate at the end with no issues. 

He has even had calls with me while he was on vacation with his family.

Oh, by the way, each 25% includes a free 7 night vacation at the resort (or broken up nightly) with all on site amenities included.
