If you were to pursue vacation rentals as an investment plan, you will need to learn how to build a competetive listing, learn the major distribution websites (Airbnb, Homeaway, Flipkey).
I recommend going on Homeaway and checking out listings in the area you are looking to invest in. What are the listed rates? Are the calendars booked or are they empty?
