Interesting Paul. Was actually wondering about this. Studied the market a little and didn’t seem saturated at all especially compared to where I am now. Where even with more and more listings coming on board I am still able to come up on the first page of search results in AirBnb
I’d think if the host is doing it the right way it would actually be beneficial to the neighborhood. As I’ve read there seems to be a lot of crime. Let me know how meeting goes. I think there’s still enough to go around down there. I’m also interested in just owning sim general as seems prices are low and there are some good deals.
Do you own or arbitrage ?
I’m also interested in possibly just buying some land. I saw some nice lots near the water. What are your thoughts on that? Read there’s is a lot of flooding issues.
Compared to other markets I don't think it's saturated. Surprisingly, there are some STR is higher crime areas I would have never expected.
I'm going live with the first AirBnb in the "Orange Loop" and there are no listings within many many blocks.
I've been skeptical of STR for many years here but finally came around after doing it summer 2018. Now I'm all in and the area is very early on in the recovery of home prices.
With flooding, Gotta just build high foundations for a garage underneath
Sounds like I need to go to the council meeting Wednesday, thanks for the heads up Paul
