Overall incorporating a beach theme to attract vacationers.

Overall incorporating a beach theme to attract vacationers.

My STRs have a variety of guests from vacationers to families to working stiffs. 

In 2015, we conducted a focus group with a small number of vacationers to the Smokies.  

The Myrtle area isn't known so much for it's schools/colleges, but they sure as hell attract a lot of vacationers and the prices there are MUCH better than here in Charleston.

Since we are building from the ground up, what are some of the amenities that you would add that would make this future listing more attractive to vacationers?

The desirability of it as a place for vacationers or short-term renters.

—Additionally, the REI strategies for buy-and-hold that we are considering would be house hacking through a multi-family near Baltimore (since that’s where most of the opportunities seem to be for multi family) or putting sweat equity into a SFH in Anne Arundel or attempting to reduce our mortgage by renting out a room or two in Annapolis for vacationers/events (as long as the numbers make sense for a follow-on rental property when we re-locate). 

Bryce....thank you so much for your feedback .....In your experience did you feel that Evolve priced your listing for the best return...Also, do I still reserve the right to rent to return vacationers AFTER our commitment to Evolve.Great to hear about your love for the area,  maybe we'll be lucky enough to meet up this summer from a quick drink or bite to eat .Steve

I live in a great location for outdoor recreation where every year vacationers come to enjoy the hiking, biking, skiing, snowmobiling and other opportunities the area has to offer.
