@Alex Khan I'm looking at a different emerging coastal spot right now (Black Sea region, Georgia) — tourism is growing fast there, and short-term rental rules are still pretty flexible compared to Western Europe.Still early for me too, but the seasonal cashflow potential looks interesting.

When portfolios grow, a few factors usually drive the change:Operational control — faster decisions on leasing, maintenance, and capital projectsCost efficiency — management fees start to exceed what an internal team would costConsistency — standardized processes across units and vendorsScale efficiency — enough units to keep staff fully utilizedThat said, door count alone isn’t the whole story.

The root cause of unaffordability in this region isn't high rents — it's not enough options.You can't solve a supply problem from the demand side.The MisdiagnosisRent control is the most popular proposed solution to New England's affordability crisis right now.

I am currently eyeballing either the Orlando or Atlanta market to make my first investment with my wife.Generally speaking, this first investment will serve as strong foundation for becoming familiar with the real estate investing process, and for establishing a portfolio we plan to grow.
