Imagine a friend came to you and said "I need to market"  You would probably have a thousand options and no idea where to point them before they clarified and got you what @Brandon Turner says a CCC (Crystal Clear Criteria). 

So STRs are still a fantastic investment, but just do a lot of research and look into your crystal ball.Also, some areas that might eventually limit STRs, to some extent, are generally saying that existing STRs will be grandfathered in.....so if you find an 'iffy' area, just get in now....

@Crystal Mcdaniel Unless you have the property under contract or you won a bid you're not checking title. 

Of course this is "trying to time the market", which I am not a fan of...I don't have a crystal ball and those who claim to are often wrong. 

I am looking at the Smokies, Crystal Beach, TX, Gulf Shores, AL,  Blue Ridge and surrounding areas, etc.

Your best course of action is to complete your Crystal Clear Criteria.

@Brandon Goldsmith I am working on crystal clear criteria right now along with my wife and reading Multi-family Millionaire on the side after work.

The first is to narrow down on your Crystal Clear Criteria.

I don’t have a crystal ball, but I think its safe to say we can only go up from here.

Fast forward six months, and I’ve brought my wife into the tribe, and we have our crystal clear criteria.
