 We ended up buying in the Campton area. We've looked everywhere between Plymouth and Lincoln/Woodstock.

This may or may not be the most appropriate forum to bring up on, but I'm wondering if anyone does their own professional real estate photography whether as an agent or exclusively as a photographer. I'm a new real estate investor (just closed on my first investment), finishing up my salesperson course, and also an avid outdoor/wildlife photographer. I absolutely love real estate- researching it, discussing it, love working on home projects, etc. I also love photography. I've been considering trying to break into the game as a photographer. My thoughts are to either consider it as a wholly separate business, using my (future) agent license to get to know the market, generate leads, etc. Seems like it's probably a fairly saturated market with slim margins, but considering it's a hobby already, might as well combine them? Anyone have any thoughts on starting out, whether jumping in doing pro bono work, assisting/interning, etc.? Much appreciated.

Thanks @Jeremy Wirths, that's awesome. I'll definitely do that. 

Hey Jimmy, thanks for the help! That is excellent to know. Airbnb is definitely legit in the area, a few of the condos in the complex are listed. Rates seem reasonable, biggest detriment seems to be cleaning services which may be tough to get for less than $90-100/hr. My biggest concerns are heating efficiency and occupancy, but since that location is equidistant to 3 major ski resorts and 2 minor ones, a number of breweries, and some of the biggest and best hiking in New England, I figure occupancy should be steady at least.

Hi Michael. Thanks! I'm excited about it. I'm from New England, but very familiar with that area given the amount of skiing and summer traveling we do around there. That's part of why I'm interested in that particular spot. Specifically Waterville Estates. I'd imagine the Airbnb occupancy rate there is pretty solid, just need to make sure my numbers work out before I jump into something.

Hey all. Looking at getting into the short term rental game in the Campton, NH area. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this there, what kind of occupancy rate and price fluctuations they experience, cost minimization tips, etc.
