Hey @Richie Matthews, do you have a rule of thumb regarding how close to be to the beach? In some beach submarkets, there are not many apartments right on the beach or in easy walking distance. Mainly condos right on the beach in a lot of markets. I know for myself if I'm booking a full week vacation for the family, I want to be on the sand. If it's a quick last minute trip for a long weekend, I am sometimes willing to be a short drive from the beach. Anything you can share that you've observed with your own coastal properties or a guideline of max distance/miles from the beach you'd recommend? We are stuck back in market research. Regulation in three markets we were very interested in require a responsible party to reside in the market. So we've fallen back to square one with research. Couple beach submarkets pencil but the proximity of apartments to the beach is a short drive.

Morning everyone! Hope all is well with everyone. I had to take some time away due to a back injury but I'm back and ready to continue this grind. Doing my best to stick to the basics and continue Richie's strategy for success. Good luck to everyone and I hope you're all staying the course! Cheers!

hey everyone! I'm Todd and live in Ventura Ca, I work in tech as an engineer at a software company. I previously worked in the luxury hotel industry on Maui and LA. I travel alot and have always had an interest in real estate and short term vacation rentals. Excited to be here!

Anyone found a way around this without hiring a property manager in-market of course? "Name, phone number, address and email of the person that will be the responsible party for the short term rental operation. The responsible party must reside within a 25 mile radius of the subject property." We will not reside in the market we are hoping to operate so the 25-mile radius requirement may prevent us from going there. 😔 Not sure I've heard anything creative in dealing with this in any of the training so perhaps it's just what it is and we need to pursue a different market but thought I'd check here first. Thanks in advance for any ideas!
