.- We then check out the rates by month for each competitor by month since they can vary so much since some properties have spikes during the summer for beach/lake areas, or winter for ski areas, or October for leaf-peeping, etc.- We then sum up the 12 months and you quickly end-up with a range of what you can expect to make.After we make our spreadsheet, we then buy the AirDNA data to see how close it is. 

So setting one for Sufolk, Norfolk, Virginia beach etc will help you find threads about your area and meet local investors.

Looking at OYOs in Long Beach.

Wynwood we have a site identified and little river has a million great deals unbelievable zip code. 33138 and 33150 two of the best zips east of 95 right now and north Beach too. we focus on density and multi 

They are all over the place in North Long Beach, Central Long Beach, Paramount and Compton.

The owner also provided daily cleaning services, access to dedicated Wi-Fi, access to beach and recreational equipment, and prepaid ride-share vouchers between the rental property and the nearest business district.

In my opinion, in NC, in next five or so years the only places that will legally permit short term rentals will be our beach towns and mountain areas and of course unincorporated rural locals with no regulations in place.

I am about 40 minutes from Myrtle Beach. 

Focused on St Augustine Beach area (outside the "transient rental regs" zone...), but close enough to the St Aug downtown that ppl can get there easily.  

Then you should have nothing to worry about.For many years now we have been telling investors to use their own expense deductions when calculating a return on investment.Our marketing team only quotes the “hard costs” as in - taxes, insurance and property management fees.We suggest discounting another 15% from the bottom line for maintenance and vacancy but I’d much prefer for everyone to OVERESTIMATE the expenses and UNDERESTIMATE the income using their own calculations.If the numbers work out then, the investment might be worth pursuing further.Classifying areas can sometimes get convoluted.Since I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth and consider myself a working class guy, my perception of B class might be someone’s of “Z class” lolMy advice to all is to visit town and see the areas for themselves.I’m confident they will be impressed.Especially if they have already toured other markets with similar price points to ours.Real estate is a rollercoaster of a ride and as much as we want to make it hands off/passive.
