There is no way it’s worth that.

As an investor, you should only make numbers-based purchases.Also, agents are only transaction-based - if they make a mistake (or choose to take advantage of your naivete) they still get their commission check and can disappear:(So, a great PMC is often the best choice to start with, since they obviously know the rental market and they have to deal with whatever they help you buy, on a daily basis after the purchase!

Hi Paul,On top of softwares like AirDNA, you can check the actual listings on Airbnb!

Check it out 

Each parcel is worth roughly $350K.

@Andrea Prada SerranoNo - not worth it.  

The goal is to find a way to offset some of the unexpected W-2 income and pick up of a vacation/rental property at the same time.I like the eastern shore, but I’d really consider your actual goals , if you want to own a 2nd home and use rental income to offset it great, if the only goal here is to save on taxes It’s probably just not worth it.

@George TurnerYou are taking the right steps to significantly improve your net worth.

Next deal like this I'll probably just double-double check that I have more cash ready to go than needed, even when the lender says it's all good to go.

I just created a free account to check on one and you still don't get any info until you upgrade to "premium."
