Why they chose this property
I have been a Real Estate Investor for many years, most recently aquiring unique and eclectic properties in RI. The Bunker was such a unique property and had such a great story to it; once I met the previous owners and talked about the conversion to what it is today as well as their past successes with online home sharing apps, I knew this was the home to have.
