Are there any other opportunities for investment or short-term place to live in that area? 

Demand for short-term rentals is based on emotions, the allure of this view or that amenity or this undefined "feel" or "design" of a place.I'd love a pamphlet that says simply, "Hot tubs increase gross annual revenue by $22,000."

When you are the real thing, you'll attract those investors who are as well. 

We know we bring value and are attracting our ideal clients. 

I've kept my rents the same and simply charge a short-term fee.

A lot of short term rentals meeting that description have recently moved to long term furnished rentals due to lack of bookings.

Looking to invest in 2 condos in the New Braunfels, Texas area to be used as short term rentals.

Needless to say, before taking out a short-term loan, make sure you know what you're doing.

What are you looking to accomplish short-term & long-term?

In the short term the investment was not profitable, in the long run, appreciation and market changes gave me some moderate profit.
