Good news for Hollister, the stalled resort project behind Menards is finally getting a second wind!

​The city recently approved the next steps for the property, which is now moving forward as an official Hasbro Destination Resort with HB Resorts. The updated plans include a 10 story hotel, cabins, and an indoor water park.

​It's great to see new investment and momentum in our backyard. Projects like this always bring a lot of energy to the area, and we curious to hear what locals think about having a Hasbro branded resort right down the road.

🧮 Investor Tip: Cash Flow vs. Appreciation — Which Should You Chase?
When you're evaluating an investment property, it usually comes down to one of two strategies:

📈 Appreciation plays — properties in growing areas where the long-term value climb is the main return. Cash flow might be thin (or even negative) early on, but the payoff is in equity down the road.

💵 Cash flow plays — properties (like many short-term rentals in the Tri-Lakes area) that are built to generate steady monthly income from day one, with appreciation as a bonus rather than the main plan.

Neither is "right" — it depends on your timeline, your risk tolerance, and what you're actually trying to build. The best investors usually know which one they're chasing before they make an offer.

Which one are you leaning toward? Drop a 📈 or 💵 in the comments.

As always: every property performs differently based on location, condition, and market conditions — this is general education, not a projection for any specific property.

Thinking about a lake-area property that could help offset its own carrying costs? 🤔

This is the idea behind the "Buy-to-Offset" approach, using short-term rental income to help cover the mortgage, taxes, and upkeep on a vacation property.

Every county around the Tri-Lakes area (Branson city limits, Taney County, Stone County) has its own STR rules, so always confirm current regulations, and check the HOA/CC&Rs, before assuming a property qualifies.

Want to run the real numbers on a specific property? Send us a message, happy to walk through it, and we always recommend looping in your lender/tax professional too.
