I have a contractor friend in Palm Beach FL who could manage project and invest some capital as well.When I do a search on Propstream I get the following:  598 Preforeclosures - 47 Auctions - 215 Bank Owned - 5057 VacantsWhich lead source would be most productive to focus on? 

At our new beach sleep two condo, we successfully "transferred" 95% of the great rate paying guests, taking them off-platform.

Yeah, in my state, I noticed Chesapeake was down a lot (-29%) for 1 and 2 bdms, but Va Beach, immediately adjacent was up (+15%).

I'll note some of the reasons I moved (family friendly culture, less traffic, lots of outdoor activities) are bringing people to the area in droves.As far as STR, I have one STR in Myrtle Beach that's done very well in the past year, and as you note, no "landlord" drama there. 

Some markets are obvious -- like ski towns and beach towns.

Some are in programs that provide employment and pay the deposit so it takes about 5-30 days to process I would say 14 days until payment of deposit and first months rent on average—as utilities must be placed in tenants name and maintain on during the entire lease with a 12 month, currently only one of our properties includes utilities and that one has highs and lows in a vacation area yet tight, think Paris apartment in front of the beach and that will describe it…My real estate business has afforded me the opportunity to do many great things.

Ten minute walk to beach. 

Looking to purchase a STR in North Myrtle Beach later this year and trying to find a good DSCR lender.
