Hi @Ivan Aldana, so you are a not really informed based on some of you statements.
First off, COVID drove people to vacation at STRs all over the place, but especially in more rural areas where they can get away from it all. Most of us saw record occupancy and nightly rates during the pandemic.
Urban STRs were hit harder due to the heavier restrictions in larger cities.
Regarding the rural vs urban, I believe in beaches, lakes and mountains for any STRs I look at. I almost never look at urban places.
In an urban/city you can expect STR restrictions, unreasonable regs (sometimes) and an overall dislike of STRs in general.
In a rural area, you can expect more acceptance due to the distances between homes, the taxes STRs bring in can make a real difference (plus the places people visit drive revenue) etc.
There are a ton of folks converting their STRs to LTRs due to outright bans in the bigger cities.
Buying your STR in the right area will be important. Plan ahead if you buy in a seasonal area. We are very seasonable and planned accordingly. No problems making a profit.
