Lake home or condo vs. coastal / canal in Galveston

Kim Gillihan
Posted

I had tons of great advice last night with my first post.. newbie, thinking of getting into STR with our first vacation home purchase... husband likes lake idea better, I like both coastal and lake ... looking for opinions on best option. I do see lake homes and condos rent well.. down here around Houston we would be buying lake conroe area. Positives of lake, fresh water, no hurricanes! Love the beach and the coast in general though.. its a tough one. I feel like it would be easier to rent a nice canal home vs. lake condo or home... any advice appreciated. KIM
