I personally have multiple units in both cities and I'm getting steady returns.

If hers is booked steady I'm sure ours being on the water will do just as well, maybe better.

One of the main things that the 'money person' gets with a good 'on the ground' partner who does a GOOD job like us is less than 2% vacancy, very low maintenance cost as we do many of the simple little 30 minute type of things, great loan rates as we have the connections and experience, and finding deals that are 'off market' that they would never find otherwise (20 of our 29 units were off market and found by networking and cold calls - there is virtually NO inventory in our rural area that hits the MLS)The PMP gets a great steady return and sleeps at night, we get to 'make money with our time and knowledge' - it is a win-win in my book :-)

Our bookings have remained pretty steady thus far.  

I'm jumping into the STR world now as well, I have a highly successful MTR and a steady LTR, so this is my next adventure.

I've used the vinyl plank flooring and it doesn't last long in a varied temperature.

Kathryn is my wholesaler in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties and has a steady flow of off-market /below-market deals on distressed homes below $300k where you can force appreciation.

The avg temperature now is about 1-degree different then it was 100 year's ago, 

Steady growth, low risk.

If that's the case at least you're in a great area that continues to see steady growth.
