Please let me know how you guys are dealing with thisHi Rakesh.I see this same topic surface occasionally here on BP.Nope, 1% is not dead.

Check and with them occasionally to stay top of mind.

While I do run my own construction crews as well and have done a few full gut renovations, mostly for my own projects but occasionally on projects for others, that size job is probably out of my what I'd take on only because it would tie up my crew(s) too long away from my own projects. 

All dishes, silverware, pots/pans, etc, came from Goodwill for pennies.

I’ve been buying from lumber supply and occasionally from Home Depot.

Happens occasionally, but not frequently.

My students tell me the first one crystallizes the concepts and the next two or three make them fairly self-sufficient and independent with occasional calls to me for support.

And kitchen appliances like toasters and coffeemakers, and plates, bowls, silverware, linens and towels, plus consumables like toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, etc? 

It's basically like a hotel where people own the rooms.Along with the other fees mentioned, there are a bunch of other small fees that come with a VR:Broken dishes/appliances/toilets/whateverAnnual fees for certain items maintained by the that are NOT part of the HOA dues (cable boxes, fitness center, etc.)Replacing furniture as it wears outSo, I guess my final take is that a VR in a popular beach area is only a good investment if you're willing to hold onto it for a long time.
