Are they located in a touristy area or near attractions?

It will likely be a “commuter” community and will still attract plenty of great tenants.

Acquired our first rental property and working to attract a qualified tenant.

Local agent swear it's the best thing that ever happened to Airbnb and Americans and European vacationers.  

I looked at local companies, and while many locals have great boots on the ground, they lack the economies of scale and systems like what Avantstay uses to attract, vet, monitor, and enforce. 

I need to reach people looking for temporary housing, but not vacationers - because Castle Rock is not a place people go for extended vacations, especially in winter.

Condos are cheaper than houses, and to my mind, a vacationer wouldn't care much about staying in a bigger place for their short stay, and would be more concerned with a good location and a nice view.Thoughts?

The appeal, in my experinence, is a steady local base plus some vacationers passing through.I’ve got a freind who scooped up a place near the Ozarks and found that while huge cash flow was harder to come by, the consistent occupancy gave them fewer headaches over time.

However, some amenities consistently deliver high value because they attract more bookings, increase nightly rates, or result in better guest reviews.

Instead, highlight nearby attractions with a few photos.
