Everything you need to know

I do want to buy a vacation rental in another part of the country, but I have a lot of questions and reservations about how to handle it. Then I received a copy of Profit from Your Vacation Home Dream.

It's clear she knows what she is talking about, and so far I have found a helpful answer to every question I've thought of.
