200K property producing 60K/year revenue first year - Looking New

[Paige P.]

Hi there! 

I'm new in the investment community! Me and my fiance purchased our first condo last year, it was a turn key purchase that came with bookings. It generates an average of $5-6k per month as a vacation rental. This unit is in NJ near 5 wedding venues, so it gets a lot of wedding guest bookings and can sleep up to 10 people. The condo we own cost under 200K, and will pay for itself in less than 5 years (as long as the vacation rental market stays legal in NJ). 

We would like to buy in some other markets to diversify, but i'm having trouble finding a deal as good as this.. Does anyone have any suggestions for great revenue generating areas (low buy in, high rental activity - even just weekends and holidays) - we are flexible and open to invest anywhere in the states! Looking for hot markets for vacation rentals with cost, or even turn key rental properties that are already furnished!

Wow, that is a great deal.  You don't come by those everyday.  Consider yourself very fortunate.  I think it would be hard to match that kind of deal anytime soon.  But maybe lightning really does strike twice.
