I'm thinking about buying a place on cape cod as a vacation rental and would like to read a few books on the subject. Does anyone have any recommendations on books for learning more about the vacation rental side of real estate. I've been reading up only on but and holds up to this point and want to explore more options

I haven't found a lot of books, but there are quite a few "guides" and research that can be done.  This is a good start:  http://getpaidforyourpad.com/blog/dont-just-go-liv...  

I would then jump on Twitter and start connecting with these folks:

@bookmorenights  (this is Matt Landau's connection - probably the best resource for info)

@RentByOwnerBlog

@TheAirDnA  (Created a nice guide and have great data about Airbnb)

@casual_glenn  (sharing economy expert)

@VROwnersGuide

I've been at it for about 18 months, two properties and doing quiet well.  There's a TON to learn, it's a more challenging business than long term rentals, but there are significant opportunities to make significant income.
