However, my client is one that does one heck of a job in his market and is a one of my top producers so I look at this from that angle he needs the US income so he can build his resort or resorts on those islands. he has a play on the Islands I can't really go into on open forum but it seems pretty unique but nothing like I said I have an interest in personally at our age. maybe if we were still 30 YO and immortal I would have  a different perspective on it all. 

Mike its also why many of the bigger TK players have opened up multiple markets.. so they can keep up with demand. 

I'm just curious if there are options in those types of resorts or not.

I've worked at a lot of resorts in more remoted places that operate similarly to what you're talking about. 

I used to have out of state investments myself and relying on just realtors and property managers in a market and not being a big player there is not necessarily a great position to be in.

Things are unticking currently, in part due to a lot of weaker players getting out, including "rental arbitragers" (full disclosure I have 21 rental arbitrage in my portfolio but I don't advocate the model). 

Hey John, One thing to keep in mind around the ski resorts is that there are a TON of STRs around them.

Most others resort to highest and best price auctions.  

I'm putting "raised rates" in quotes because the Fed only sets one rate, the overnight lender-of-last-resort rate for SHORT term inter-bank debt.

Which one usually has more action, more players, more that I could watch, listen and learn from?
