New Investor, Just Purchased 1st STR in South Padre Island
Just saying hello. I just pulled the trigger on a STR/vacation home in South Padre Island. We went in big for our first one, but are feeling good about it so far. We used the BP calculator to make sure it cash flows with conservative estimates. People have been going to South Padre for decades and we are betting on that not slowing down. I'll just be lurking and learning.
