@Patrick Mortenson awesome question and @Monika Haebich Thanks for the response Would you mind sending me the link to your guide as well. ! I have a new vacation rental in Rockport, Tx that is not quite yet ready to start renting out.  I contacted the vacation rental property managment companies to ask their projected as well as other investors in the area.  Thank you so much!!

HI  @Jennifer M.! I would love to connect with you as I am looking to get a few rental properties with long term renters here in  San Antonio!  I sent you a connect request.  PM me and lets get in touch! I am happy to share all the information I have found on vacation rentals in North Padre and Rockport.  Looking forward to connecting! Alison

@Chase Cline and @Tracey Cazalas I would love to connect with both of you! Yes, I actually started looking at the 1/1 at Village on the Beach!! I love North Padre and very aware of all the building and expansion going on, I just have a little man (14) who loves to fish.  I bought at Coral Reef Cottages because it was a community of little houses "condos" not attatched with a boat washing station and pool. We could bring our boat.  A lot of the condos didn't have boat parking. The biggest draw was that  I could use the amenities at other McCombs Properties- St Charles Bay and Palmilla for the day so I could take my girls to Palmilla to go to the beach there if we wanted.  I met Taylor at Brightstar in North Padre and I was very impressed it just wasn't what I wanted for my first purchase.  I am definitely interested in the future! @Chase Cline, I can try managing my self once I get going.. Thanks for the suggestion!!  I just felt it would be hard to manage from San Antonio.  I was planning on going with Turnkey.  It's 18% I know Padre Escapes is 23%. Jeremy at Padre Escapes was so helpful and very open and easy to talk to and I can see why people go with him. My though was the seo analysis, and many different sites that they market to was really good and more than I could do on my own.  I do have social media management experience though and had planned on doing a lot of the marketing myself! Thanks everyone!! Lets keep it going! Also, I used www.vrsuppliesonline.com to buy towels, and sheets.  Lynn was very nice and is a VRBO host as well.

@Mike Reynolds of course! Let me know if you have any questions!! I would love to help out anyway I can.  It was by talking with investors out of Corpus Christi that got me started and if it wasn't for their honesty and helpfulness I wouldn't be where I am.

Sorry, but what platform is the #vrmb on?? I have one rental that I just bought in Rockport, TX.  I haven't started renting out yet.  I'm in the process of buying furnishings right now. Would love to connect with other vacation rental owners.  Thank you! and good luck to all!

@Michael A. Thank you so much!!  My rental will be a year-round rental, the Texas coast provides no shortage of snowbirds and retirees to flock this way!  I am hoping to book it as much as possible and use it personally last minute when available.  Let me know if you are interested in looking into Texas Coast properties! I love my property area and they are building 4 new specs this year.  www.coralreefcottages.com.  Interested in connecting on here or a group of vacation rental property owners. :)

Attended approx 30 min of the San Antonio REIA on Tuesday. Huge group! I'm looking for a more collaborative small group setting. There was good info on Tuesday just not the setting I'm looking for. Going to the San Antonio RENC meet up next Tuesday and the Alamo one on Thursday!!
