Key insights

  • Established vacation rental markets like the Smokies, 30A, and Branson are examples of 'multi-reason' markets that have remained stable for years.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Buying in a 'one-trick pony' market where the local economy and rental demand are entirely dependent on a single industry or attraction.
