Be sure to do your research by connecting with local hosts in community Facebook groups to find out where most of their bookings are coming from.Listing your property on multiple platforms is a smart move, but make sure these are the sites that travelers to your region actually use.Additionally, consider developing a marketing strategy tailored for snowbirds or mid-term renters during the off-season.

Out here in the west its simply impossible to build anything that will sell for much less than 500k when your lots start at 100k to 200k each then permits are 30 to 75k each.. then you build the home thats the reality.. only way fed helps there is to buy private land and subsidize or turn federal lands into developments. the one market that would work is VEGAS as its surrounded by federal land.And from what I see in west coast the regional builders are back to pumping out spec homes as fast as they were pre GFC..

I live in the SF Bay Area and have decided to buy my first single-family home.I fully acknowledge and recognize that the SF Bay Area and California (in general) may have some of the worst cash flow numbers in the entire country.I've already traveled to cheaper Midwestern states to look at real estate opportunities, but have decided to invest here in the SF Bay Area as I'm purchasing with the intention of living in it first and foremost, and then renting it out sometime in the near future when I move overseas.I'm looking for anywhere in the Greater Bay Area/Northern California region (even Sacramento & Central Valley is okay) with better than average purchase price to rent ratio, and some appreciation (if possible).
