Hi all,
After several months of lurking, laughing and learning, I am here to ask a couple of questions. I am about to be an empty nester (like I didn't see that one coming, they get older, they grow up, they go to college, geez one would think after the first two did it I would have a clue the third one will follow suit). Anyway, life and circumstances have changed over the years and I find myself ready to take on a different challenge. With that said and 30 years of sales, marketing, and customer service under my belt, the rose colored glasses have been checked at the door long ago. If they weren't living the past 8 years in a 100 year old house certainly has. So here are my questions to which I will greatly value your responses.
1. How long did it take you to find the right property?
2. Was it turnkey or just a potential? If turnkey was it potentially profitable or a breakeven/profitable inn?
3. How many of you live in the inn as opposed to a cottage or separate owner's quarters located on the property?
4. What if I find the right property before all my chicks have fledged? Longterm Innsitters? Pass? Jump and work out the details on the back end (I have a great support system)?
