I have a nice one you can buy! [
][] Its on the MLS 241770. It is holding its own for its first year. It was a serious fixer upper. and we are still repairing and painting - got new pool pump this month as the pool hasnt run for at least 4-5 yrs. Someone ran it dry and burned the motor out.
On our own vacation rental, we have been lucky that most of the work my husband could do. And we are lucky that building is slow or he would not have time. But he is liking this old guy fix a faucet or paint or putter semi-retirement for the last two months. But we live around the corner too. We are thinking of adding lower longer term rentals up the hill (after we finish remodeling our house). My parents always owned numerous rental properties and it served them well.
That said, I also manage one around the corner - the owner started at $125/night double occupancy the first year, dropped it to $115/night in 2008-2009 and now 2010 through today is back at $125 as we have kept it filled at 60-65% for 2010. This year we are at 91% YTD but it is through end of March. May & Sept will be the low months usually. it is also a house that is only 4 yrs old so it doesnt have as many issues as an older house. VRBO 150394 you can see it there. We have a hard time with the house cleaners lately but eventually again I will find some one reliable and responsible.
