Lake of the Ozarks AirBnB
I have been looking at some houses to rent at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. Anyone have any insight if now is a good time to buy, if the market is saturated with short term rentals, and long term appreciation? All advice is appreciated. We have been looking at homes in the $300-400k range, with the main intention of short term rental opportunities.
Thanks,
Jordan

If you're wanting that market specifically, the ROI will probably be average. Branson is probably a better market for STR returns though if it's just an investment for you. The housing market is increasing at the lake right now too. If you are planning to use it as a vacation home with a little STR income on the side, I would say LOZ, but I'm from there so I'm biased.
