SA short term rental
Parents have their personal mobile home parked in their rental unit. I’m trying to convince them to Short term rent it to bring in some more income since it is just sitting there.
Question, how is the SA market for STRs? What kind of traveler would use this? Anything else I should ask I’m not thinking of? I’d basically have to manage it from out of state, but I’m willing to give it a go. How could I learn more? Books? Websites?

It was a unique setup. A lot of rehabbed houses in Lavaca have a high end finish, this one was just finished out with builder grade materials (basic materials from Home Depot) and couldn't command the 400K+ ARV of surrounding homes, but was a perfect fit for Airb&b. We cut a deal with the seller to leave behind all of the nice furniture he had for 3K on top of the purchase price. No rehab.
