my site www.bookvrof.com does not have a "click to book" function, but it is already challenging enough to attract repeat OTA customers to book direct, I do not want to make it harder. 

That's their purpose/function. 

If your goal is long-term financial independence, the critical requirement is that rents have consistently increased faster than inflation over the last 10 years.

I am really interested in Berwick especially with the new business/data center coming there and suspect this will be a great market to get in on but really dont have the know-how to make smart predictions of the sort or critically analyze a market. seems most properties are decent cash flow and some appreciation though not stellar??

Some deals move fast and don’t allow long approval timelines.How do you structure funding when speed is critical?

Just like all aspects of life, finding good people to be part of your team is a critical to your success.

For direct resources, I’d suggest:Lender term sheets for small-balance multifamily (bridge + perm)BRRRR case studies focused on 5–8 unit properties (the execution is slightly different than 1–4 units)Local Houston submarket rent and expense comps (critical for Third & Fifth Ward underwriting)That said, the reason I commented was because those pieces are often fragmented or outdated online.

So it makes it challenging to use owners numbers as they are for a non-functioning resort.

Is it mainly:The ability to find truly great deals (off-market or undervalued opportunities)Finding a good GP that executes value-add projects efficiently (managing renovations, staying on budget for profitable turnovers)The ability to raise capital quickly to close dealsOr something else you see as the most critical right now?
