I was very bad at it so now am cruising with a bookkeeper for about $200/month.

It is also the top tourist destination in the US, and it is a year-round market with fairly consistent performance year after year.

It costs about $2000 in Destin, FL for instance to convert a regular residential use to STR use permit if it's the first time the house being coverted for usage.

The beach is always an attractive destination and Oregon is no exception.

The project is anticipated to facilitate access to/from major industries and freight destinations in Mobile and provide hazardous material vehicles a direct route away from the downtown business district.- The overall market has increased by 8.4% this year with the median apartment rent at $950.

It's really nice to cruise the forum on my phone.

It sounds like you're doing a good job of educating yourself which is great, but you can educate yourself as much as you want, however without a direction or destination in mind you'll never have enough information to make a decision. 

I’ve been looking at data on rental properties in Destin and Panama City Beach, and certain amenities seem to drive higher booking rates.

Very few people go to the main page without a destination and dates in mind. 

Or several cruises or trips per year.
