Good enough to rent now or wait for a remodel?

[Drew Nashmy]

This is our first STR. We were lucky enough to secure an oceanfront property and are excited to get things moving. With all you experts on here, I wanted to get your opinion. Since it is oceanfront, primetime is right around the corner. Would you rent this out now or wait until a remodel? Primarily looking at the kitchen and bathrooms needing some updating, but not wanting to miss out on income . . . what are your thoughts? Rent now, remodel in off season?

It is a tough debate for sure but with the busy season coming up and how it looks. I would rent now and renovate later, as next busy season you will get that much more and not miss any of this busy season.
