It is near a lake and in a wooded area.

I agree that the fractional vacation rentals should not be viewed as investments -- I see them as a way to own a lake/beach house that you can go do a few weeks out of the year (depending how much ownership % you have). 

Would love to understand pros and cons of being in Nekoosa, Wisconsin Rapids, Lake Arrowhead, Arkdale etc...Appreciate any insight.

Same as @John Underwood, @Diaz Principe Nicolas.I would love to get more off season bookings but there ins't much call for a iced in lake house with a foot of snow on the ground and the lake being frozen over.It is fun to see how many turkeys end up on the deck and to watch if wolves use the frozen lake to move around.

I am under contract with a land deal, on Marrowbone Lake In Joelton.

@Lake Bradford, without knowing anything else about your financial profile, I recommend that you consider house hacking your first deal upon your move to Atlanta.

Areas like Windermere and Lake Nona are seeing rapid growth in exclusive developments, offering luxury residences that combine nature and modernity.Palm Beach: This area is an icon of classic luxury.

I tried to look at some properties for STR in Pocono Lakes, Hudson Valley, and Jersey Heights as this will be my first investment I'm worried as these will be good locations to go ahead for STR.

I have had this goal of buying my first duplex and have talked to real estate investors, realtors, lenders, appraisers and have been encouraged so much to where I am anxious to dive into this.Now that I am 18 I have absolutely no debt, a credit score of 727, I have 28k sitting in a certificate of deposit, a couple years of working consistently under my belt, I’ve also been investing in my Roth IRA, I feel very blessed to be in this situation.I am still in high school, I know it wouldn’t be smart to buy a house right now but something in me is so anxious to buy this house I know I have to have patience but I don’t know if I should start the process of getting pre approved, finding a good investor friendly realtor, lender, preparing my documents or if I should just wait.When analyzing deals in my market I have crystal clear real estate deal criteria my strategy is house hacking a duplex, price range of 500,000-600,00 in Salt lake, Utah!
