Hi @Ashley MillerBanner Elk is a great place for STR due to the busy summer season, ski season, and fall leaf color season.

Similarly, quality dividend-paying companies often retain some earnings to reinvest in their business, increasing the company's (and your) value over time.

It links to our business bank account and our business credit card so come tax time, deductions should be easier.

I have sold a couple of businesses as well, and speaking from experience, you are never more vulnerable to make a mistake than when you are sitting on a giant pile of cash.Also, I agree with @Corey Conklin - I'm a big fan of "overflow cities/towns" in the sun belt.

And even if I do not get into the renting business I can make some profit if I decide to sell the property at some point.
