AirDNA Data for Des Moines Iowa... (& A few other cities!)

[Reid Sealby]

Hello, 

I'm a STR investor in Colorado... or at least trying to be!

I know the market is crazy everywhere, but Colorado has to be in the top 3 for unaffordable single family homes. Therefore, I've begun looking at other markets. 

My Fiancee is from the Des Moines, IA, area and we're both aware that the city is growing quickly. Does anyone here on Bigger Pockets have any inside market info in Des Moines Short Term Rental potential? We use AirDNA, but with our subscription, only have access to Colorado. Any market insight on Des Moines would be hugely appreciated. A few other cities we're looking at potential short term rental investments in, if anyone is feeling generous and would like to shed light on... 

Jekyll Island, GA

Columbus, GA

Spartanburg, SC

We are open to any and all suggestions for "hidden gem" affordable STR investment markets! Thank you!!

Hey @Reid Sealby. 

I don't have AirDNA, but I have several clients that do the MTR for traveling nurses and business travelers.  They are doing very well and it seems like there's potential for a lot more supply.  Not a ton of 'vacation' traffic in Des Moines, of course.

I don't personally have any STR in Des Moines, I 'd love to help with more specifics as far as properties go and can certainly hook you up with some people that are doing it in the market.
