Galveston/Crystal Beach Texas vacation rental investing
We are thinking of buying a rental beach house or bay side house in the Galveston / Crystal Beach area. Does anyone have some good information on the recent insurance ratings, building codes or any other news of pertaining those areas. Also if anyone has experience with beach rentals in the Crystal beach/Galveston area I would like learn more about the vacation rental environment in the area.
