A lot of lenders are focusing on creative structuring to help keep projects viable while still delivering returns.Every lender’s approach is a little different, but the theme right now is flexibility.

Their explanation: "The overall theme for 2023 is that unexpected roadblocks and delays throughout 2022 put us behind our originally targeted timelines for infill (occupancy increases) impacting how quickly we could increase revenue."   

I’d experiment with setting a higher minimum in Pricelabs (closer to $240–$260) since your demand is strong, and really market the murals as a unique Disney-themed draw.

Again, this goes with my theme that in MFM, you are usually surrounded by other neophytes.Okay, even though I have so many disappointments, I did post in the FB group and start a conversation with someone, and THEY introduced me to an operator, and I have been doing capital raising for them, which led to a referral to another operator that I'm raising for.

On the Tennessee side you have Pigeon Forge area (also Sevierville and Gatlinburg) with Dollywood as a theme park to anchor, tons of infrastructure, tourist draw with direct access from Knoxville, Nashville and the west side of the Appalachian Mountains.

If you buy a good house in the right community that has great amenities and location to Disney and invest to make it stand out (theming), hire great cleaners and stay involved with your guests, you can do well. 

Fundamentals coming first seem to be a common theme which makes sense and I'm all for.

As a new investor I see a theme in the responses: be careful to count every expense!

Kinda like Chaz Reinhold in Wedding Crashers.

As investors who have been screwed by them and former employees try to recov er their money, Dutch is going on cruises for his wedding anniversary and for holidays while Amy goes on lavish outings and recently came back from the Bahamas.
