Prices softened at higher price luxury new construction back when rates went up in 2022, and new construction has slowed down bc of that combined with some 'green' building regulations that went into effect in 2023 significantly slowing down res new construction in KC MO proper.But everything else sub $500 in most regions has been appreciating well year over year.

Very cool that Greenville made the list.Although its illegal to have STR's in the city limits, there is a lot of opportunity right outside the city limits.I have a bunch of LTR's that could be converted to STR's, but I only am interested in vacation rentals where a family would spend vacation money and use their vacation days to go stay.Plus I'm trying to minimize my working hours where possible.

And I’m here to tell you: it doesn’t have to be that way.Great management isn’t a luxury.

Forget the course and put that money on a quality vacation short-term rental.  

We usually see those tenants will vacate once the eviction notice has been delivered, but we have had to evict them before.

I did think the same as John - A luxury mobile home? 

Meanwhile, prices are still going up, sellers having high expectations and buyers fighting them, while there is a great reluctance on both sides to even deal - which makes my day-job (selling luxury real estate) much harder than it used to be.

It's also only 5 miles from the beach, so STR could be an option, but I think there are better locations for vacation focused Airbnb's. 

@Joshua Piche I think you need to pay relocation expenses in california if you want them to vacate for you to reno and potentially increase rent so get  a good understanding of the law and how it would allow you to raise the rent including any relocation cost.  

Perfect for a single-family build or vacation home.
