@Edison Reis the Eastern Panhandle near Berkeley Springs is hot right now with overflow from Northern Virginia. 

It's way more time-intensive than most expect and most of the "deals" are deals because of deferred maintenance or tough tenancies.

If not you will need a very large hot water heater.

Rather than second-guessing "what is the new hot STR market" as I see many do - I may be biased - I believe it makes more sense to invest the time in figuring out how to succeed in a year-round market which is proven to attract tourists year after year.

We are 6 mos out from an election, housing is a "hot button" issue and we printed $5 Trillion dollars ..... 

We also got a small place in-case we didn't successfully rent it, we could cover the costs. 565 sq ft and no hot tub so we counted on weekend rentals.

Crazy how hot the market was then, and still is today.

I use a maintenance service for the hot tub and while that cost is a factor in pricing, we don't submit that as an extra charge to the OTA platform although it's a service).

This is not super expensive, nor is it super time-intensive.

Years ago we had some non heat resistant quartz and when people put hot pans on it, it left rings.3 - Hotel Linens - Plenty of providers out there for this.
