I look forward to learning more from all of you on the RE side as well. 

In all of my flips, the contractor I use provides their own windows.

Im thinking if I create a unique listing on Airbnb (After I live in this for a year to meet the VA loan requirements) I can create a competitive advantage by having such a unique property and demand a higher price per night as well as keep the occupancy up.2.

I hope they get back to having every day investors who built a portfolio from the ground up, house by house and can talk about how they did it and the different strategies and routes they took that others can learn from and deploy as well.

Considering they are brand new, with a finish out well above and beyond the rest of the neighborhood I don't anticipate "nobody else wanting them" Thanks for your sarcasm, though

Well done!

The rest of the funds received will be considered a return on your cost basis and non-taxable as well.

Thanks in advance for any info you all can provide! 

Friends of mine do really well with cabins in the woods there, and stay pretty booked in the winter (for low rates of course), but they've had the homes listed for years.

For utilities...well who knows.
