Why the Best Markets May Not Be Where You Live
STR performance is driven by tourism demand, regulatory environment, and property economics -- factors that have nothing to do with where the investor lives. An investor in Chicago may find far better returns in Gatlinburg, Tennessee than anywhere in the Chicagoland area. An investor in San Francisco may achieve three times the cash-on-cash return in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Limiting yourself to local markets because they feel more manageable means potentially leaving significant returns on the table. The key is not proximity -- it is having the right team on the ground.
The Infrastructure Required
Successful out-of-state STR investing requires local vendor relationships (cleaners, maintenance, handymen), reliable communication systems, and professional operations management. Building this infrastructure from scratch as an individual investor is expensive and time-consuming. Most solo investors who attempt out-of-state STR investing end up either flying to the property repeatedly or accepting suboptimal performance from remote management.
