Or vacation rentals... 

You can manage them remotely (it's not that hard, no matter what the property management companies will tell you), and you can also vacation in them yourself.  

I am a Denver, Colorado native and Pueblo has never really been a "vacation" place and that's how I see Airbnb.

Purchased a 3 fam in Jan 2024 built in 2016 in an appreciating expensive market across the Hudson River from Manhattan NY. 2 units were vacant on acquisition and completed rehab in July, 3rd unit tenant vacated in May and completed rehab this week.

There are hundreds of Facebook groups for vacation rental owners in every nook and cranny of the US. 

My vacation rental performed really well during tourist season, then poorly for the other 6-7 months.

If the house is a 2nd home/vacation home, for example, and the owner lives in it for part of the year, they may be able to claim a percentage of the credit equal to the percentage of time they live in the property.

There are approximately 2.5 million vacation homes in America.Conservative estimates say we have 11 million illegal immigrants in America.

Galveston is among several other TX markets on AirDNA's ranking of best vacation rental markets in the next five years.

Vacation rentals are among the best investments of my lifetime.
