This is the blueprint I plan to replicate—goal is 10 additional parks over the next 15 years!

Arcades, saunas, hot tubs, projector screens with video games, fire pits, murals (for IG) bikes and toys - whatever delivers a home away from home experience that likely could not be replicated at a hotel/motel. - Design.

Overall, you’re setting yourself up really well—if you can replicate this model in a market with strong population and job growth (Columbus, Ohio is a great example where properties can still hit the 1% rule, cash flow, and appreciate long-term), you’ll have both steady income and upside growth.

Most of the time I clarify that the main goal is to take the loan on the property as well—preserving favorable terms that might be impossible to replicate today.

A smart, hard working person could use this info to avoid many costly mistakes and near replicate the process. 

why would you build in Chicago when existing buildinds can be bought for a fraction of what they would cost to replace or replicate ?
