So in my mind STR is good tool to catch long term appreciation and REDUCE EXPENSE when folk is vacationing.For me it is as the following:if you like snowboarding you would buy in Tahoe or Denver or Aspen.if you like beach you buy in Hawaii, Destin, Panama Beach FL or San Diego.if you like hiking/forest you go to these Servier county,etc.The problem is if you don't have hobby and don't like to go for vacation LOLI cut 90% of my vacation budget by having STR, this is the internal profitability metrics LOLIf my own purpose is to make money I would find investment that yield 30% IRR and >1.5EM and I know it's not that in vacation market in 2023 lol.

Hi San,I'm in Charlotte and collaborate with many investors along the coast.

And it's not only the cost, it's also install time: a couple hours vs 2 weeks.When I talk about prefinished slab houses, there used to be several in San Diego that had plenty of slab with a finished front edge and you could pick up a 8 ft long one for $100 - $200.

Even in the San Fernando Valley.A couple of questions I would ask your agent (as these are things I go over with my clients):1.

I am a 20-year-old in the San Antonio area and I’ve recently started my journey into real estate, I’ll be it very early on in my journey, but I want to take advantage of every asset available, including these forms and the community available here at BiggerPockets.

I don't mean live minutes near it but just keep in mind this is the key to accessing the San Juan area about 1.5 hours away. 

Say Raleigh and Nashville have been the best, then Charleston & San Antonio. 

Alamo Ranch:- Growth Potential: Alamo Ranch is one of the fastest-growing areas in San Antonio.

Otherwise known as thongs to ya'll...here in the south "thongs" have a totally different meaning. hahaha - I resided in North Co San Diego in my 20's and can absolutely tell you that you will miss that climate.

In San Diego I'm renting 2 homes out, but I can't afford to buy another Investment here.
