I've seen some on MLS in the low 100s in the recent past.

the gentlemen above make great points....

John, do you know if you want to deal with multi-family or single-family homes?

Also, you mentioned what's a recommended range? That's kind of hard to say. Also, do you think you want a near turn key/turn key property or one you may have to do updates?Do you have an amount that you are comfortable with investing? I'm just throwing some questions out there to get you thinking:)

The dual property option is very popular here in Myrtle Beach. Black out off-season weeks for personal use. The busiest week by far is the Fourth of July. The whole Grand Strand becomes a battlefield of municipalities and locals vying for the most spectacular fireworks displays on the beach! But that's when you can charge the highest rates and make the most money. The rest of July and August are the best money-making weeks. 

Off-season doesn't necessarily mean the dead of winter. We have very mild weather in spring, beginning March. Today (February 24th) it is 70 degrees. In the fall the mild weather often extends into December!

So the "Dual-Use" option can work really well here.

A couple other issues to watch, HOA fees and Management fees. HOA fees can vary quite a bit and can be a pretty good deal depending on what you get for the money. Management fees also vary considerably. Shop around.

 Michael do you have any "normal rentals"? If so, do you prefer one over the other?

just a question: in your analysis of withdrawing vs not withdrawing do you take the potential equity in the property you're purchasing into account?

Hello BP Family,

What are your thoughts and/or experiences with rental vacation property?

My wife and I are working on buying a few vacation rentals in Myrtle beach , SC.

One   I know the numbers ,and they make sense. Same time I want to spend 4 to 6 weeks at the beach each year. So I have two reasons to invest in these type of properties.

Alex

 That sounds nice Alex. I would love to have dual purpose rental property in the future as well.

 Thanks for the feedback. Is it hard getting enough clients to make the numbers work?

Sounds like a plan bro. I'm starting with rentals in north county then I plan to do flips in the future in St. Charles County.
