No soul.And then we wonder why it doesn’t book.The brutal truth:In 2025, the game isn’t about having a property.It’s about selling an experience—visually, emotionally, and strategically.People don’t buy beds.They buy sunsets.They buy vibes.They buy the feeling of waking up barefoot, opening the window, and seeing nothing but jungle or ocean. 

@James McGovern The phrase that comes to mind is you get what you pay for.

We've seen quite a few folks come back after a break — and when the vision's there, things move fast.

But ultimately, you’re right—there’s no guarantee they’ll stay the full 24 months, so the benefit really comes down to how likely you think they are to stay based on their current orders.

I would love to come by and take a look next time I'm in the area.

I have read through a lot of the BP forums but I haven't been able to find questions like the ones i want to ask. 

We have a lot of people that come back every year. 

Make sure you can come up with $300-$400k additional cash down payment (20-25%) or move on to another deal.

But IMO the risk does not come from leverage.

The lower class, cash flow on paper types will not appreciate and come with a tenant pool that requires a lot of work, maintenance, and hassle.
