We’re currently working on a complete renovation in Silver Spring, so feel free to reach out if you need any assistance or guidance—I’d be happy to help!

Look, ya might as well invested in Arizona future beach front while at it, YES that's how flawed that whole investment reads to me FROM START.   

Many are run by fake gurus who are just repackaging stuff they found on BP and repackaged as a get rich scheme that they sell by showing pictures/videos of people partying on a beach and things like that. 

@Alexandra Cernasov You might want to check Martindale's peer reviews of Aaron Thalwitzer, Esq before you hire him from Cocoa Beach to handle a case in Marion County. https://www.martindale.com/organization/gordon-thalwitzer-at...   

I have been thinking small office or retail (which I have experience in); larger multi family (10-20 unit), RV Storage, and have even thought about beach front hotel, or at least ocean view hotel.

Hi Art,  No, we've just recently closed on a beach rental and I'm about to close on another this month. 

I was barely hitting them with the 12 gauge, and he was taking them out of the air with his Glock 17...lol I could do that if the clays were the size of a a garbage can lid :)  We have 4 different shot guns for clays just to get variety  berreta silver pigeon 20 and one 12.. my old remington 870 wingmaster I used to use for geese and my grandfathers browning auto light 12 which is 75 years old but shoots very well..

A general rule of thumb though (not a hard rule) is that if a market has a prolonged history of vacation rentals such as towns whose commerce is very dependent on tourism like beach or mountain towns, then there is a good chance than those towns have established their airBNB regulations decades ago and are likely stable.

As a resident (who travels a lot) I would say the Midwest does not have the attractions like palm trees & beaches (the great lakes are cold) or amazing mountain ranges, which often come with some disadvantages like high cost of living or hut/humid weather, stroms etc. 

Is it near a nice beach for STR?
