<prompt> Human: I live a ski resort community in Colorado with a real need for rental housing and vacation rentals. I have more than enough time to manage a property. Do you think I could actually MAKE money with it? What are your thoughts?  <response>: I wouldnt rely on the income from it if you do this. Theres nothing to guarantee itll rent consistently and youll be dealing with mostly winter rentals so you likely wouldnt have the income year round. Also youll eventually have a year probably multiple throughout the life of your mortgage where the snow sucks and you wont be able to rent it easily. Yes, you can probably make some money but its not likely to make a huge dent in your mortgage overall.
