Life is too short to sacrifice living somewhere I love for a dollar.Ergo why California real estate pert near anything within 30 miles of the coast line.. is so sought after and expensive. 

Based on the coast line there, would you say West (Palos Verdes side) or East (closer to the port) side?

Which part of the Lake Erie coast line are you from?

Growing up in South Florida, WATER has always been the buzzword: Waterfront, water view, water access...Since the sale, I have been searching the landscape, focused exclusively on the Florida east coastline, from the FL Keys, to Fort Lauderdale, all the way up to Jacksonville Beach. 

Now something I did not know was that the many other homes not like this one but the nice palatial estates along the La Jolla cliffs that go for 10 million plus cannot be financed and must be purchased cash because that area is the fastest eroding coastline in the U.S. and parts of the houses up there frequently fall in the ocean.

With the amount of coast line in Michigan there are an insane amount of opportunities for STR. 

@Jay Hinrichs One reason places need to cash flow in the twin cities area is that we do not get as much appreciation as the coastline or other larger areas. 

Santa Cruz, known for its beautiful coastline and boardwalk, is relatively friendly to STRs, though you must comply with local rules.

There's plenty of beach -- from the county: 35 miles of powdery white beaches and nearly 588 miles of coastline.

Upgrade the house if you need rental income to appeal to out of state renters...and keep a week free for yourself to visit some of the most beautiful coastline in the USA!
