Is it a good idea to invest in vacation rental properties

[Andrew Martinez]

Hello BP community I'm just starting out on my journey and I am interested in investing in rental properties including vacation rentals. I have read "the book on rental property investing" and a few other books as well. I plan on taking some more classes on these subjects as well as asking other investers in my area but I figured I would start here first.. let me start with what are the do's and dont's on investing in vacation rentals? Why are they good or bad compared to other rental types? And what types of vacation rentals are better then others?
