Traditional limited approach or creative almost unlimited approach.

Who do you traditionally use?

 One more question... should I sell with a traditional agent in DR or is there a website that markets airbnb listings for sale?

Also, traditionally the summer is the best time to sell and the fall is worse, so I'd ask the agents about that too. 

I would focus on established markets that are still showing growth and have more than just one draw.Taking my main market of Tampa Metro as an example - There is more than just beaches, you also have MLB/NHL/NFL + Spring break and MLB Spring training, aquariums, golf, casino, new downtown development, and a lot of business travel.You want to avoid markets with just one draw, as if something happens to that draw, you will be hurting for who knows how long.

They are old ranch style single family homes built in the 50s (1,800 to 2,400 sqft, 3br) located in one of the traditionally best regarded neighborhoods in Houston, with values at over $1 million dollars each.

Finally something to think about, for some areas, if traditional travel is low, or sometimes to not be required to get conditional use permits (know your state laws), you can market to travelers who are longer term stayers… such as traveling nurses, corporate execs, pilots, etc. 

The banker said we would have to start with a traditional construction loan.  

Choosing the best vacation rental loan option: Traditional/Conventional vs Non Conventional/NonQM.

Quote from @Rodney Menendez: @Peter Dukaj yes we are still finding lots for around $19k in Lehigh Acres with no issues for construction  still a soft market and utilities are going to run way more than public sewer and water taps. it all ends up being the same. 40-50k for a lot no matter how you skin the cat. plus all the site work required for those lots is more than double what a traditional infill lot requires in miami or columbus for example
