Additional info to help the discussion: Rent growth year over year:Appreciation Growth Calculator (Conservative 3%) Scenario: Total cash in deal from Investor: $29,010Investor Contribution: 100%My contribution: 0%Goal: Figure out how in 5 years, I now own 100% of this property.

Their fee is 9.9% of the total amount we use (for this property we only need $30K so the fee would be about $3K, with typically 0% 12 month term, payments at 1%).Is this typical?

Provided that the total rental period doesn't exceed 14 days and the rent charged is reasonable, your business is able to deduct the rent payment on the business tax return and you won't have to report this as income on your personal taxes!

Either A) you need to want a ski Airbnb/VRBO for the personal use of it but not the investment aspect of it or B) you need to be okay with some of the areas within 45 minutes of the ski areas that are totally open to short-term rentals and where the numbers are better.

The website is called The Offer Sheet and you can get a limited number of properties for free but to get access to the full list to pay $200 a month with the promise of 9-12 unique properties daily. 

If house hacking is in the plans that can be a great strategy.Please feel free to DM me if I can help in anywayHope that helps!

You don't necessarily need a really built out one though - even just using an AirTable base (there are a lot of free templates out there) would probably give you what you need to stay organized.

Also, shameless plug my wife and I are Realtors so feel free to reach privately if you would like to chat in more detail :)Cheers!
