Initially I really wanted to do a STR down in North Padre Texas (as it is a place I have vacationed for years and have stayed in at least 8-10 of the STR in the exact complex im looking into, I see how my STR could stand out amongst the rest since Im huge fisherman down there and that is mainly what those STR are used as, already have boat rental option setup if I go this route, list of fishing and possible guides to go with depending on style of fishing, family, fun, hardcore wade fisherman etc etc and equipment rental available for those that do not have.), the places im looking at are decent $ properties that after running through calculators etc showing 18-22% CoC after management fees etc.But after listening to BP for about a month, now thinking BRRRR possibly and doing up here in the DFW area.
