Now as I stated I'm not a agent but I do feel confident in this here friend. 

My first impression is that your numbers in the current economic climate seem a little rosy.I also have friends that are builders and I try to stay in touch with them on costs as we mostly do "to the studs" renovations when we buy a place. 

For the personal side of things, I do a GoBundance Onesheet, which breaks my life up into Financial, Health, Relationships, Friends, Adventure, and Spiritual/Contribution.Happy to share either document with you if that would help Tonio!

Between lovely countryside and stunning coastline, great food and super friendly people I love this place!

I recommend you go visit a few times to network with local investors or find an investor friendly agent so you can gain local market knowledge, find off market deals and for things such as showings, picture taking or getting accurate comps.

Since you’re leaning toward the “reconnect with nature” vibe, are you thinking of adding features like hiking trail maps, partnerships with local guides, or even some eco-friendly touches to the property?

Gather emails with something like Stayfi, use a qr code to have guests follow you on socials or leave their emails in a sign up for discounts coming back, use a Meta Pixel on your direct booking website or landing page and then do a retarget ad campaign to them, offer "Family and Friends" promo codes to guests when they come back through an auto message a couple of weeks after they have left, etc. are some that I use.  

I just recently started a jiu jitsu academy with a couple of friends, and although I was not in the day to day grind of the process in finding a building and building the space out, I did become fascinated with the process.

Smart move. documentation is your best friend :)  Stay safe out there.

I have always been fascinated with Peoria, though I’m not sure how investor friendly Illinois is.
