Branson area's a top spot in the country for STR investment. Super similar to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge.

Wow, what a great looking place! Keep up the amazing work and hope you see continued success.

Hey @Max Tierney I've worked with thousands of buyers over the past couple of years. You should check out Branson, MO because it's a killer investor market for STR's, and only 3 hours away. I used to live in KC and never thought I'd go to Branson.... Now I work exclusively with STR investors here. Southwest Missouri properties haven't appreciated as crazy as some other major market areas. Hit me up if you want to connect and chat about the industry!

Through most of the year, the Poconos has mostly weekend bookings from my experience and then summertime is peak season. It's not a market that I saw that had weeklong bookings month over month. 

Sounds like a great investment! Wish I could purchase a cabin there right now for $203,000!

I know the properties that allow self management and the ones that are exclusive management agreements in the declarations/CCRs. Feel free to message me @Wesley Useche

 I work pretty much solely with investors and truly the biggest thing that helps me is if someone actually helps by showing excitement and doing proactive research into purchasing in my market area. I don't have the time to be a personal research assistant. We only get paid when the deal closes. If someone turns into a data pumper, that's a huge turnoff and I generally don't continue working with them. That being said, I do everything for my clients and give them my all when they show their loyalty and respect in return. 

Also, Let's not even bring up deals that fall through. 

Give 'em what they deserve. Bad customer service and bad advertising warrants a brutal review. Rake 'em across the coals!

Or negotiate and try to get a discount. I'd print a screenshot and send to the owner of the listing and tell them it's about to get real and there's going to be a big ol' fuss if they don't' do something to fix it. 

OR you're on vacation, it's just a grill and it's whatever man. Bigger things to worry about in life.

Some markets are heavier Vrbo markets, some are heavier Airbnb markets. I get most of my business through Vrbo though and haven't had too many issues with problematic guests.

There isn't a centralized resource for this answer to my knowledge. There should be, but also regulations are changing frequently all over so it's one thing to know where things are currently, but to forecast where things are heading is a different animal altogether. Here's a good thread though if you want my opinion on where to go:
