If the numbers work it can be a great way to get started in REI. Just make sure you factor in all costs and find out if your heloc allows rate locks and interest only payments.... the goal would be to pay off HELOC ASAP and then use it again to invest in the next property....

In the process of buying my first STR for income and price appreciation. But really, all of the above lol.

Is it more profitable to turn a STR to a MTR for the winter months in a coastal town? If so what platform do you market it on? Stay with Airbnb/VRBO? Property is a 3/2 SFH 7 miles from the beach and 4 miles from OWA.

So glad you asked this! I had been shopping Gulf Shores but avoiding Fort Morgan bc I assumed it would not do as well. It does run cheaper than Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach is even higher! Following...

That would be amazing! I’m brand new to this and just not certain on what makes a good deal in this crazy market!

With the market like it is, can beach rentals still provide sufficient cash flow? I am having a hard time figuring out how to analyze a short term rental.

That’s a great plan. Just hard to reach as many people as VRBO and AirBNB. 

How much will it cost to advertise on your newly designed site?

@Chris McKenna who do you use for property management? Insurance?

@Chris McKenna did you buy recently? I’m just concerned with current height real estate prices cash flow may not be as good. And what are thoughts on a condo vs beach house? Thank you!
