Vacation Rental Investing: Hood Canal
Vacation rental websites such as Airbnb and VRBO have changed the way vacationers travel. Vacation rental properties have become a popular alternative to tourists looking for temporary lodging while on vacation. In fact, more and more guests are choosing to rent private homes rather than booking hotels. Due to the increase in popularity of these rentals, many people have become interested in buying a vacation property as an investment.
What makes a vacation rental successful?
It is important to buy a vacation rental property in an area that is a popular vacation destination so the property will be rented frequently. In Washington State, the most successful rental locations are usually near tourist visited destinations such as beaches, mountains, lakes, national parks, etc. Choose a place in a tourist area that not only has nearby attractions that are easy to get to but also has upside investment potential.
