This is why I like to buy in true vacation markets. 

This will allow you to acquire more rental units and also being able to use the vacated unit rents at 75% to help your debt to income ratio DTI.There is a FHA 100 mile rule if you do plan on using FHA on your 2nd house hack.

(Max vacated rents - your monthly mortgage payment) = +/- net cashflow.

I'm thinking that in more rural areas there's less exit strategies, like what happened when COVID hit, everybody stopped taking vacations.

I own an Airbnb in a desirable vacation rental market.

It might be a weird time to pick up multifamily rentals since there is a massive apartment complex being built at the moment, but single family should be pretty safe.Also worth mentioning San Antonio is experiencing massive appreciation right now and a portion of that is certain to spill over into the Corpus area based on proximity and a lot of San Antonio residents vacationing there.

The property is beautiful and would make a great vacation home, STR, or primary residence.  

Let's dive into the exciting world of waterfront condo investments and explore their potential for generating lucrative vacation rental income.

I am going through the pre licensing courses/ process now.My rough plan, as of current, is to begin flipping homes in desirable residential areas nearby and then move to flipping in the mountain/vacation setting.

The important part of that purchase was that I knew the rents were already high enough to make the deal cash flow once that tenant vacated.
