Start with these facts
Peak demand window

The market thesis
Okanogan is a seasonal moat story because the county limits nightly rentals much harder than casual buyers expect.
The risk screen
One-owner nightly limits and unit-type bans shape the real opportunity. Reserve planning matters because low-season revenue can fall fast.
