@David Pere I appreciate the offer, but as mentioned I do have an agent who I think will help shed more light on the Branson market when we visit next month. Does your PM manage STR as well?

@Jason Loos that’s what I’m seeing as well

@John Morgan that’s great info! Will PM for PM. Thanks for sharing

@Kendra Levy thanks for sharing. I’ve heard that Thousand Hills PM is the mandatory PM for a few of the condo communities

@Chris Mantell thanks for sharing! I think I saw the property at the Vineyards you mentioned. We hope to make a visit to Branson later next month to see some of the available inventory.

@Kendra Levy I’ll let you know if the cheat sheet becomes a reality. What association quit allowing STRs? Hopefully not a condo community. Sucks they changed the rules on you

@Janelle Groenhout very nice! Congrats and continued good fortune. Thanks for sharing.

@Janelle Groenhout thank you! How's the long term rental market? Seems to be some reasonably priced homes in the area not usable for STR.

@Paul Sandhu sounds like a great area. We might look that direction a little later. Logistically, Branson is a better location for us and we really enjoy vacationing there... also it is closer to family. Being in the military, any opportunity to be closer to family is desirable. Thanks for sharing

My wife and I have decided to OOS invest in a STR/Vacation property in Branson. However, the vast number of STR options are a bit overwhelming. In an effort to narrow down our search for our realtor, We're trying to sort through pro and cons of different condo communities a have learned this is a pretty daunting task, especially for an OOS investor.

So I thought rather than reinventing the wheel, perhaps another savvy investor or professional has already created a “Branson Smart Sheet” product that helps compare and contrast different condo communities.

Here’s some of what we’d find helpful:

1. COA/HOA rates/restrictions (along with what's included). Zillow is hit or miss in this area.

2. PM options. Some are on-site managed, some have no limitations, and others require a specific PM vendors.

3. Accurate list of amenities provided

4. Desirability of location for STR . Performance data would be helpful for like units in community (# days per year occupied, rates received, etc)

5. Intangibles like parking or traffic problems, or condos that are poorly managed, etc.

Does something like this already exist? If not, I’ll try to put something together.
