Seeking advice for short term rentals (NY,OH,MI,WI,MN states)

[Sophie Li]

Hello! My husband and I are based in Austin TX and we are searching for a second home (preferably condo but can do house, max budget $300K) in the Northern Sates (great lakes, finger lakes and upper new york states) where we can get away from the 100+ degree summer heat and airbnb out the property during non-summer seasons in places that can generate cash flow for us.

Curious if anyone has experiences owning short term rentals in these regions and which places would you recommend that fit our search criteria? I am thinking about Ithaca/Cortland NY areas since I studied there a decade ago but not sure about the airbnb market there.

Thanks for your advice!
