What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Adding to my portfolio of vacation rentals.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Good realtor keeping an eye out for something with my specifications: close to home being primary, size, age, and in need of renovations.

How did you finance this deal?

Cash.

How did you add value to the deal?

I did more than originally planned. Demo'd all flooring, took down a wall between the kitchen and living room, did a total redesign of the master bath, complete paint, total renovation of the backyard including adding a pool, putting green, bocce ball courts, horseshoe court, gazebo and patio for fire table. Also just recently changed to a whole house water system H20 Concepts. I was thinking re-sale for that upgrade as well as cutting out the required maintenance for the water softener & R/O.

What was the outcome?

This is the first year it has been available. I had snowbird renters lined up and they have committed to returning next year at a higher rate. The summer rentals have been off the charts! Even is someone cancels, it's rebooked within 12-24 hours!

Lessons learned? Challenges?

The challenges in this area, especially since covid, is finding the deals. At this time there is extremely low availability at any price range, and those that are on the market are generally snapped up by out of state buyers looking for their personal vacation homes. An escape from being isolated in their homes.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I have been working with Jon Groth with Coldwell Banker.
