Question

Just like buy and holding can I invest in vacation rentals as a new investor?

Would it be as lucrative as owning a traditional year-round rental ?

Vacation Rentals depend heavily on location.

Some locations will work better with long term tenants because there is not enough demand.

Vacation Rentals tend to more work owing to higher tenant turnover, and handling communication.

While standard property managers take <20%, property managers who specialize in vacation rentals can charge north of 50%.

If you want to get your toes wet in vacation rentals, you can rent out a spare bedroom.
