Meaning you can spend the time traveling to the market(As we did for 18 Months once per quarter) or you can seek a reputable operator in the market you want to invest in and leverage their team. 

I am in the Tampa bay area now but grew up in Kentucky and travelled to Indy many times!! 

My goal is to create generational wealth for my family and to eventually have the financial freedom to say "yes" to travel adventures as a family. 

Seasonal Slowdown (With a Twist)The holidays always lead to a slower rental market as potential tenants prioritize family, travel, and gift-giving over finding a new home.

To me STR and hotel caters to different groups of travelers and so despite competition as long as the travel demand of Hawaii remains (as you pointed out is a robust assumption) I think both will continue to do well.  

My agent is currently finding best rates with Travelers.   

He currently travels often for work and resides in TN. 

Combining short term rentals and a venue is a huge advantage because guests would not have to travel far and you could offer better rates as part of a event package.My current venue focuses more on baby showers, content creation and birthday celebrations rentals.

And while short-term rentals are the big draw here, there’s also growing demand for mid-term rentals from snowbirds and traveling professionals, as well as long-term housing for the increasing number of permanent residents.Yes, higher interest rates are a factor, but the strong rental demand in the Panhandle often helps offset those costs.

From what I can tell, it seems like most of the very small towns in this area; tons of trailers, single family homes, no visible high rises or larger multifamily that I saw.
