LOL We like staying in the very rural areas. The locals are welcoming and great, honestly. Berlin needs our dollars more than Conway anyway. Expand For sure. One of the reasons we go to western ME so much is it’s off the beaten path somewhat. We love that vibe more than the touristy feel. I do love North Conway’s views and they have a nice restaurant scene for when we want to do that kind of thing, but we don’t want a full week of it when vacationing. So we stay 30 minutes east. And yeah, Berlin could use your dollars any time, not just during covid, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like that moves into an uncomfortable level of state's rights. I personally am not for enforcement. I think it can be an ask, a request, but legally I'm not on board with actual enforcement. I think the only reason for some sort of control valve is from how busy it has been this fall. Any outbreak, tourist and especially employees, has the potential to shut things down at least on a local or business level. Expand Gov. Scott and the administration has been pretty adamant that they prefer education over enforcement. It is treading a fine line but I’m not sure how else a small state like ours with limited medical resources can deal with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I read this story from WSJ that said after the debacle in Northern Italy, many European Doctors were warning against the over use of ventilators and were recommending supplemental oxygen as the first line of defense.. but hospital protocols in NYC discouraged use of noninvasive oxygen therapy because of fear that this would aerate the virus causing it to spread within the hospitals. Furthermore ventilators and the associated induced coma would almost always lead to renal failure and require dialysis.. but hospitals werent equipped to handle the surge and many died waiting for treatment for kidney failure that they never actually needed to have. Today, Doctors are reluctant to use ventilators and often see these as "last resort" treatments. I saw a number that 90% of the people put in comas over the age of 70 in NYC never woke up. I cant believe this hasn't been brought to light.. that it is not news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Have to factor in how much they're getting you for property taxes in the meantime, and the opportunity cost of sinking in the cash. Young investors should probably first make sure the credit cards are paid off, and even consider an extra mortgage payment, especially now that most take the standard deduction on federal income taxes, thus negating mortgage interest / salt deduction. I mean if you have time and the ability to do a lot of building yourself, then it may be a different story. Or if you can pay to build right away and can be a landlord, or have someone you really trust nearby, to get cash flowing quickly. Even then landlording/airbnb'ing a single residential unit not right nearby is rarely profitable IMO, esp in MA where laws are totally stacked for the tenant.
