(It's broken down by market type -- resort/mountain, resort/beach, rural, etc.)Here's how much more RevPAR homes with a certain amenity get for the mountain-destination category.

Im an agent in Palm Beaches and I know what Im looking for, I just needed an agent to walk the property and let me know it didn't smell like cat pee and cigarette smoke.

The year round demand with two peaks (ski season and lake / beach season) combined with a lower regulation threat make them pretty good places to own an STR.

We bought our first beach condo on Seabrook Island, SC in 2020, simply to have a get-away in the midst of COVID.

What I mean by that is for instance in a place like Newport Beach California where houses cost millions to buy there may be apartments available for 2000 a month, which is way less than the per square foot of a purchase.

I agree but it is (although waterfront) about a 10+ min walk to the beach and all of the competition has it included unfortunately.

.- Looking for rental friendly area- Want to be close to the beach / downtown Charleston- I am more interested in Johns Island due to tax dollars being put into that area#1 What does a good Charleston deal look like?

I think the resorts clean their own beaches so hopefully the local government cleans the rest (the Riviera Maya has the same issue and they haven't always done it properly).
