Summary
AI-generatedFor investors with less than $100,000, the best strategy is often to avoid high-competition vacation markets entirely. Instead, look for 'non-vacation' markets where property values are lower and the existing short-term rental competition is low-quality. By simply providing professional design, quality photos, and affordable amenities, you can dominate these markets with a significantly lower initial investment and higher cash-on-cash returns.
Key insights

Mistakes to avoid
