I like the idea of allowing tenants to each individually pay out of convenience for them, which is why we have allowed it to date. 

This high demand can lead to higher occupancy rates and higher rental income.Seasonal Rental Opportunities: Beach areas often experience peak seasons for vacationers, which can allow for higher rental rates during these times.Personal Use: If you enjoy vacationing at the beach, owning a short-term rental property in a beach area can provide a convenient vacation spot for you and your family while also generating rental income when you are not using the property.Property Appreciation: Beach areas are often desirable locations for real estate, and owning a short-term rental property in these areas can provide a potential for property appreciation and a profitable exit strategy.Cons:High Competition: With high demand comes high competition.

If you had the time, I would love to listen to your advice on how to approach this whenever it is convenient for you.  

I want to get to the point where I am renting the entire property as it seems much more convenient from my perspective, but am not there yet.

Then the convenience of scheduling my own showings while shopping for the next deal.

Hi @Lisa Isaacs,I think that would depend on what you like to do when not investing.Ski, Beach, Hike, Mountain climb, Kayak, Deep sea fish, cave dive, base jump, gamble etc.

Several years ago I had Police draw weapons across the hood of my car as I took a shortcut off Oakwood Ave to intercept someone robbing a convenience store.http://communitycrimemap.com/?

Suggestion: Don't consider your brother as a partner based on nothing more than convenience.  

Converting this unit to STR is an act of convenience.  

Happy to connect and talk further at your convenience.
