Best area for STR, Santa Rosa Beach, Nashville, Austin
Hi. I am very new so please be kind if my question is too general as I understand that lots of factors can come into play but for those of you more seasoned investors, if you had the opportunity to invest in those 3 areas for a new STR or MTR in today's market which area would you focus if any? Thank you in advance for any input/advice you can offer this newbie!!!

With regards to ATX - the city is highly regulated and there are different types of STR licensing, so I would highly recommend looking to the due diligence and layout ahead of time. The city even recently said they are working harder to crack down on unlicensed STRs operating illegally: https://www.msn.com/en-us/vide...
