How to market an income producing homebase for snowbirds?

Hi,

My wife and I were full timers for a year and during that time fell in love with the Port Townsend, WA area and bought a house there. Traded in the class C for a B. We've created 2 businesses using this house, vacation rentals and a camping gear rental business. The house has 2 rental units (3 if combined) so we can move from one to the other or move into the RV if the whole house is rented. We get vacation rentals all year long, but the main season is April through October leaving a large window for heading south. Both businesses brought in just under $40k last year and have increased each year for the 5 years we've been operating. Expenses for the 2 businesses are minimal and the businesses are both based on the internet so they can be managed anywhere.

We'd like to sell it all as a turn key package and this seems (to us) an ideal situation for the right snowbird. What we don't know is how to market or price this as it's a pretty unusual situation. Any suggestions?

You may want to advertise it in the RV Marketplace forums, since that is the only part of the Escapee forums that allow advertising. There are probably some other good online places to advertise and I would look at running an ad in some of the RV magazines. Escapee Magazine does accept paid advertising and might be a good place to do so.
