Short Term Rentals for vacation markets outside of NYC

[Kelii K.]

Hi everyone! 

My wife and I are looking into investing in short term rentals in vacation markets surrounding NYC (Catskills, Adirondacks, Poconos, etc) and just wanted to check if anyone here might have some insights they could share. Hoping to learn more about areas you like, the market specific hurdles you’ve encountered and anything else that you like to share would be super appreciated! Ideally, I would like to buy in the Catskills since it’s close by, a popular year round destination from the city and has a history of vacation rentals but I know there’s more and more talks of regulations so I am open to other areas and would love to hear your thoughts/experience on the area.

Would love to connect with anyone who has interest in the area and the short term world as well as agents familiar with STR who could help us in our search.

Thank you!
