In the past nine months I’ve seen a dramatic run up is price on similar properties.

It gives me a boost of inspiration. 

You can also get a good boost from the 50 units because people will know where it is.

and to everyone that doesn't live here, it's not a hot market @Alvin S. explained some of the main reasons it won't be unless dramatic changes happen.

I don't think we will see dramatic sea level rises in our our lifetime and if you are a little further back/higher up you are probably fine.But 10% of Florida's population lives on elevations less than 5 feet above sea level. 490,000 people live on elevations 3 feet or less above sea level. 

We recently purchased and launched an STR condo in Kauai and are thinking through a few strategies to try and boost direct bookings.

thanks everyoneI am looking at zoned vacation rental condo's - like condolelsThere are many near the hotels that are long standing vacation rentals - zoned as such.I'm not looking at any residential airbnb type properties where special permits may be needed.This is strictly investment  - no stays or visits by me or friends.they are often called condotel's here as there is a front desk and check in - cleaning services somethings if you want.High taxes are a given - the main downside I see besides running them;) is if tourism slows dramatically - in this case they can legally be rented long term for a bit less.  

These hacks have boosted my revenue and created a space that separates our listings from the competition!

For 3, I know Ohio State is there and this big university can boost a good rental market.
