Why did you choose to purchase in this location?
I knew they would be good investments.
When you purchased the property was it already a working vacation rental?
No, neither were previously working rentals. They weren’t sold furnished either.
Are you thinking of purchasing another vacation rental property?
Yes.

Would you prefer to purchase a turnkey vacation rental property (i.e. already furnished, with rental history) like one you can find on HighFlyRE?
No, because I want to make it my own and not use someone else’s furniture, etc.
Has your experience as a vacation rental owner been a positive one?
Yes, and I am looking to purchase another one.
