STR vacation home in Catskill area

[Abhijit Ghosh]

Hi All,

I am looking for my first STR vacation home in Catskills area. My budget is around 150k -200k. Following are some of the questions I have:

1)Is it worth buying a home or buying a lot and having a log cabin built?

2) What is the airbnb occupancy rate in Catskills area?

3)How much does it cost to make a 2 bed or 3 bed and 2 bath log cabin around 1500 sq ft?

4)any good property management companies?

Any responses would be appreciated.
