Meanwhile, bookings well into the busy season continue to be made.I have NO IDEA how to play this 'game'.

FL is equipped to handle the numbers and with Brightline people could be an hour away and have easy transportation on game day(s).

@Nicholas Meza, I'm in the area and in the game.

Stay consistent, be real, and don’t give up when it gets slow.If you want help building a simple game plan, I can help you with that too.

Was he just playing mind games?

Happy to see you jumping into the property game!

I'd ideally be looking for someone just getting into the game who is willing to put in the time and legwork.

These types of unique attractions tend to hold up better even in a down economy with well-to-do travels coming from far away, even when local more budget conscious folks need to curb their spending.Short of that, like @Michael Baum mentioned, anything in a good market that can set you apart from the competition is always a plus (waterfront, beachfront, etc…) The competition can always keep pace with you by adding a game room, hot tub, etc… But they’re not making more waterfront.Good luck!

Even if you didn't get yourself ready until you were 25, you are still way ahead of the game.
