STR's are one of the more popular forum topics and 'complicated' investment categories (especially for newbies) so I wanted to share some recent investor and operator experiences on the Oregon Coast and why a coastal STR vacation rental home is worth considering. - Feasibility & Permit-ability: If you know where to look you can still secure a STR permit in most cities or counties from Brookings to Astoria.

For the past 25 years we have been one of a few GC's in this area, but now we are starting to see the big guys come in (Castle Rock, Chesmar, Lennar, etc.).

High LTVs, short maturities, mezzanine debt, outside preferred equity, and multiple share classes (the recently popular A/B equity structure) all increase risk. 

Open concept is popular in Tampa for example.

I also used Craigslist, ForSaleByOwner.com, Zillow, and a very popular local classified website called SouthEastTexas.com (my buyer found me on setx.com) I was disappointed with Zillow.

Hello all, I am trying to figure out if this custom home on the hill in Castle Rock Co is a good investment. 

This has been a popular group for a very long time.

still hugely popular at least on the left coast in fact cant recall seeing anything but for many years now.

Purchase price: $1,870,000 Cash invested: $300,000Offering a sliver of ocean view from upstairs, plus an ideal setting conveniently close to the area's most popular shops and restaurants, there's plenty to love in this location.

Who doesn't love Flordia and second home loans rock with only having to put 10% down?
