Hi all,
We just closed on our first STR property (DFW NORTH TEXAS) and am excited to start setting up our property!

I’d recommend asking about the property's overall condition, especially the roof, plumbing, and electrical those can be big-ticket repairs if something’s off.

From our experience, success comes down to a few key factors:Amenities: Hot tub, fire pit, water access, kayaks, and a well-equipped kitchen all go a long way.Bedroom count: Aim for 4+ bedrooms to appeal to larger groups and families.Year-round appeal: Properties that work for both summer and winter (e.g., near ski resorts or with cozy winter vibes) help maintain strong occupancy.Happy to chat or share more if you're seriously exploring STR investments.

Frankly any area can be a great STR area if you buy the property great and there is a big draw.You can't go wrong with a lake front, beach front (or near), major skiing or high mountain getaways.
