STRs in Mountains vs Beach Towns
There has been a lot of talk recently about short term rentals in mountain vacation towns (thanks @Avery Carl - but really your episode was awesome) but are there a lot of you who invest in beach towns?
We own two beach rentals in NC and they absolutely crush it in the summers. The down side is that the off season is fairly long. Obviously not as many people go to the beach in the fall/winter so for the past two years we have found a month to month tenant from Oct-Feb and that has worked pretty well.
What are you thoughts on mountains vs beach STR investing?

@Sean McDonnell We love Lake Tahoe because it's dual seasons both as investor and to vacation at. I help a friend manage a beachfront condo in San Diego as well and it is fairly consistent all year long, but San Diego weather is pretty much the same all year long so that's probably why.
