I am definitely open to out of state investing though if that helps me reach my goal more efficiently, but would love to stay on the west coast.

I used a loan from North Coast Business Lending that encompasses both properties.

I am located in western Wisconsin. 

Insurance and storms hit everything hard, but you can really see the buying opportunities further down the coast.

You can also look in some of the smaller communities on the Western Slope once you move beyond the economic influence of the resorts.

As they should have done a date down and caught it.. at least on the west coast they would have. 

Chicago is a lower appreciation market but with the trends we've been seeing with increased rates of hurricanes on the east coast and fires in the west, I do think long-term we will see some migration to the Midwest.

Hi Jon from Boyertown, PA-You and your fiancé are interested in buying your first short-term rental and wonder profitable areas to purchase with a budget up to $500,000.I would look at places along the west coast of Michigan, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and near Ann Arbor, MI.It is important to understand the local STR regulations in each community and partner with a property management company that can help your navigate that and manage it well for an excellent guest experience.Don't forget to look into bonus depreciation and doing a cost segregation study to increase the tax benefits of ownership and if you "materially participate" in the management of the property per IRS guidelines it can offset active W-2 income which most real estate cannot.To Your Success!
