Hey @Brett Baker, generally, any place with a great water view or directly on the water will bring more revenue.Of course profitability will all be based on purchase price and prevailing nightly rates in the area.If you find a cool 2/2 or 3/2 right on the water with a great view for 1.5m or a 2/2 or 3/2 house a block away for 600k, then I would look at the house over the condo.

Often times, there's houses or land worth $500k listed with an opening bid of $30k which is a fantastic deal; however, if you were to win the auction, there may be multiple liens and $100s of thousands of hidden fees that you have to pay at once (based on what I read online).

You can probably make decent returns in Akron based on gross income and purchase price.

Please no politics here, just looking for guidance on what may happen based on your insights so I can manage my bsusiness.
