There are a lot of older people that come in Spring, Fall & early Winter that are not interested in Silver Dollar City.

The Wall Street Journal/Realtor.com Winter 2023 Emerging Housing Markets Index put the market as the #1 emerging market in America, classifying it as a hot market. https://www.ibrc.indiana.edu/ibr/2023/outlook/lafayette.htmlI've worked with a lot of investors who have found success investing in smaller markets throughout the state.

If so, expect to pay an additional 200 a month or more for water, 300 for electric, and a LOT for gas over our long cold Michigan winters.

This is all assuming the property isn’t winterized.

We rode snowmobiles in the winter for hours.

Heating costs go up in winter, as does electricity due to the reduced natural light and more people indoors.
