Uproot and move to Whitefish on a STR dream?

[Keegan Uderitz]

Hello all, we have recently been looking at the Whitefish MT market, it seems to be a great STR market. We have an opportunity to move to Whitefish and put 10% down, live there for a year and then turn into a STR. What is a safe way to understand the STR income potential? How much typically goes to Airbnb or any other site you might have it listed on? Looking for some advice on STR, its a newer strategy for me that I am hoping to learn more about. I want to make sure I am not chasing the shiny object because I really want to live in Montana.
