Occupancy can be off the charts in places like this because there is so much activity or reasons for people to visit during what would be slow days of the week and off season months. 

That’s personally not my strategy because that is more speculative than I like, but I know there are people out there that can make a strong case for this.

My wife and I moved 4 yrs ago and fell in love with the area, its people and specially the food.

For people who are not super accounting-savvy like us, I would definitely recommend it. 

But I won’t do to DFW because I don’t know the market and the players like people who have invested 10 years there.

You could get a huge equity bump in year 2 or 3 if things go as expected.Here is the thing that most people are missing out there. 

A lot of that is referral based or people find my site online, organically. 

One challenge about short term rentals is that they are not always booked and initially getting those bookings to a minute, people were more hesitant since we didn't have the super host and premier rating.

I typically recommend that community for people that plan to use it personally and can justify the higher HOA costs and membership fees.

They teach people what they want to know without out all the fluff and they have a pretty cool community of mentors and Renatus associates that help you along the way.
