From what I have seen it seems that velocity Banking is quite controversial. 

Galveston is booming and offers year round rentals even outside of the summer, such as our HUGE Mardi Gras celebration in February, but that does not change the fact that buyers prefer to buy in time to make money.Don’t let the fact that the majority of STR buyers show up in the early Spring make you think the rental market here is not on fire.

(OK, and a little celebrating our first lease)(Note, the second photo is AI and is SUPER easy to do, but yes, AI)We started this project 2.x years ago, buying a shovel ready project.

I tell clients estimate 2-3 times this for the process...three times being if things get controversial or if you have more issues like Coastal etc.

There are always HOA fees and they can range from $75/month to $600 (look at Reunion and Celebration - you almost can't GIVE away a nice house there because of the HOA fees and the fact that it's like a ghost town in Reunion..

I've made great connections, hell I even sold a house to a certain biggerpockets celebrity that was a personal idol of mine and who's books pretty much got me interested in real estate.

It's like having a celebrity responding to me on my post! 

I think guests would love it if you can logistically pull it off, but also be sensitive if they do not celebrate Christmas.  

Hacienda Heights also boasts a variety of cultural events and festivals, celebrating its rich heritage and community spirit.

And it is here within the controversy lies.
