Hi @Mat O'Grady I was looking for the same kind of information, Sean's name came up in another post but I could not find any contact info.  Could you send me that as well?

@Lorraine Patterson please let me know if you are able to find any good information on STR in the area!

Thanks @David Wolber ! I will reach out to them.

@Michael Baum
Thanks Michael.  I am still kind of open as to what area but I live in north eastern CT so I am hoping to find something relatively close by.  I have considered NH which is a few hours drive and could look for a lake house near some ski mountains or snow mobile trails.  I have also thought about looking in CT at a beach front property that is near the Casinos to hopefully get more year round potential.

Hello,

I am just starting out with real estate investing and am looking to get into short term vacation rentals.  I am still very much in the education phase and am having a hard time analyzing potential properties as I don't have a good way of estimating how often it will rent.  My only strategy right now is to look at the calendars of similar properties in the area on vrbo/airbnb.  This doesnt seem very effective to me however as I can't see past months and I also don't know if the property is just not available on certain dates, maybe due to the owner using it or anything else.

Does anyone have any good ideas on how to go about this?

Thanks!

Hi All,

Some friends and I are looking to purchase a STR property somewhere fairly close to home (northeast CT). We were thinking that the Mystic area might be good due to its proximity to the Casinos, aquarium, beaches. I have checked on some of the rentals on vrbo and it seems like they are booking at a pretty good rate. Does anyone have any experience doing short term rentals in that area? Or are there other locations relatively close by that would be a better place to look?

Thanks!
