We chose the Jax beaches area because my wife taught school here for a year when I was deployed and she thought I'd retire soon.....well, a couple of years later I finally decided to pull the plug and we both liked it here a lot, so came back on vacation and decided this was the place. 12 years of cold English weather helped with the decision too!

This means it is not a place that people will live in but will rent for vacation.  

We plan on giving 24 hr notice Friday for inspection on Saturday and after the inspection serving them notice to vacate. 

For instance, with more rent control restrictions, there are now many property owners who are renting units only as short term corporate, vacation, etc.

I was more thinking about maybe a cabin (I live really close to some good mountains) and just build something as a vacation place.

I say Houston brokers and just search for that, all my brokers will come; their cell phone numbers, their e-mail address, their wife’s name, their son’s name, their cat's name, everything because you write it down or they went on vacation in Italy they talk to you about it or they want to or things like that.

I would give her written notice to vacate.

It slows way down between March - August, with June-July being the slowest of them all.I'm interested in seeing if it's just a local, region, or nation thing, related to summer, vacations, weather, Government, or other economic changes in areas. 

The guy also probably will go on vacation sometime too.

That being said, I love the idea of them and still think they could make an interesting value add to a portfolio, especially if combined with some sort of short-term/unique/corporate/vacation rental aspect.
