I've looked at Texas and the market is saturated, right?

Do you think it's saturated as short term rental investment? 

Staying power - Musicians don't have staying power because the market is saturated with musicians trying to make it (just like wholesalers).

I'm trying to break into a new market and continue expanding on STRs (the areas I have mine in are either extremely saturated or have no inventory).

You can find good value by looking for areas that families have purchased a weekend getaway homes, but have not yet been saturated with full time rental properties.   

I'm doing my due diligence in at least figuring out where and how to hyper focus on off market properties because dialing & SMSing (although works) is super saturated and conversion rate is low.

Looking at Greenville, NC to purchase primary home. There has been a lot of new builds being done in the area without much of a significant upward trend in population or job market. Not sure if I am missing something ...

My main concerns are market saturation for STRs and what to expect regarding seasonal occupancy/daily rates.

Joshua Tree is far from a commodity market and nailing the furniture, furnishings, finishes, etc. is make or break, especially as the area's short-term rentals saturate.

Some will continue to perform well, but I think we're going to see the STR market start to balance out and possibly even crash in certain markets that have become saturated.
