My wife and I are can save about 30k a month so we are looking to add more STRs Tom our portfolio. We are looking at places in the smokies and Florida. I believe it makes more sense buying bigger cabins, homes, but she also mentions that we could scale up faster with smaller places. What would more experienced investors recommend?

Thank you Jaron,

I’ve been looking at the Smokey mountains market as well, right now I’m looking at the keys, smokies, and st Augustine FL and figuring what strategy to follow

My circumstances have changed a bit and right now I have close to 200k and I can realistically save around 25k every month. I've been looking at Marathon key since it allows weekly rentals in some areas. Which makes better ROI single family home or town home. Is a 10% vacation home down an option in the keys?

I feel the same way I’ve watched the prices skyrocket in the Smokeys and don’t know whether it makes sense right now. Thanks for the feedback 

If your option was only those two. I would do the keys, older little more stable, I think Smokey’s right now are over inflated and those who bought recently are gonna feel some pain in the coming years


With those with knowledge on STR, would 125k be a better investment in the Florida keys or the Smokey mountains market?

Thank you! I've been reading on regulations for STR in the Florida Keys since there's only 2 areas that allow for shorter rentals.

Hi all,

I’m new at investing and have close to 90,000 saved. I’m debating whether I should invest on  short term rentals either in blue ridge, GA or the Florida keys since I’m 2 hours away from there. Any advice will be appreciated
