Need help deciding if I have found a good market for my first STR

[Jacob L White]

What are some reasons I should or shouldn't select a house in a market that isn't primarily an str market? The property I'm looking at is a few blocks from the beach in between two commercially active towns but this area seems primarily residential. If any gurus out there are available for a consultation I would really like to talk with you.

You can have a viable STR in not a "vacation" market. Just need to do some research on what makes sense in the market your after. Are there other STRs? Is there a nearby draw to other attractions? We don't rule anything out but just need to make sure price is right and that you have demand.
We’ve got STRs in a variety of places and all do well for different reasons.
