Once for a larger family presence coming into town and they wanted to be on the lake.If they booked for Thanksgiving, I am betting you are spot on for the reasoning.

With that, you are going to want double digit returns on your capital if you want to scale to be financially independent.

Homes.mil if you have a military presence in your area (I didn't Google).

Most HELOC lenders use an AVM -an automated digital tool that you have no control to dispute.

We had an artist apply, and found it very odd that he didn't have  a Pinterest or web presence.  

All you need to do is connect with those that provide rentals to cash buyers, some will work with loan buyers, Double digit net caps are to be hadAll the best 

I am looking for a relatively inexpensive market to invest in (you may not see it as such depending on how wide your experience is).Specifically I'm looking for someone to provide local presence in a local market where rentals are cash positive and there is a decent upside.
