🌲 $309K Mountain Cabin With ~$48K Revenue Already Generated

πŸ’° Fully Furnished β€’ Appalachian Trail Access β€’ Strong STR History at a Rare Price Point

🚨 The Price-to-Revenue Ratio Here Is What Jumps Off the Page

Let’s start with the obvious:

And already:

πŸ‘‰ ~$48,000 generated over the last 18 months

For a:

That’s a very compelling entry point into the STR space.

This is the type of deal where:
πŸ‘‰ The barrier to entry stays low
πŸ‘‰ The operational setup already exists
πŸ‘‰ And the demand drivers are obvious

🏑 The Asset

Harpers Ferry, WV
