Any Ocean City investors doing STRs?
Hi BP! Anyone out there own any investment properties in Ocean City MD? Specifically that you are using as a STR? Would also like to hear from Realtors in the area that may manage STR's. Looked at a few places about a year ago but the #'s didn't seem awesome. Recently searching for a place to stay for the weekend and the prices seem very high. Just curious if anyone has a vacation property down there that they rent especially if you are self-managing. Thanks in advance!

I've analyzed the Ocean City short term rental numbers over the past five years and they've never really made sense. I own a few short-term rentals in Miami Beach and those do makes sense. But since Ocean City only has a good rental market during the summer it just doesn't work out even with the high weekly rental prices. Most of the people buy a vacation home in Ocean City and rent it out just to bring in some additional income. And a lot of people rent it out during the summer and then stayed there during the early spring and late fall
