Hey @Megan OConnor, I can't comment on the area specifically but it is doable.You need to search AirBNB and VRBO to get a look at the competition (don't forget to look at VRBO)You have to work into your plans the downturn during the off season.

My approach is to take a few minutes per quarter and make sure it is accurate by manually checking my true competition and adjustmenting prices accordingly. 

Quote from @Chris Magistrado: I'm doing my research and I came across wholesaler who said if the buyer is requesting an inspection, they aren't a real buyer, probably just a wholesaler trying to scope the competition or lock up your contract. 

Especially in a more competitive market where the options are plentiful.
