Sites like HomeAway and Airbnb are very trendy these days. Vacationers are looking for more than an affordable staying option; they want to immerse themselves in new cities and live like locals. Investors looking to get in on this trend and purchase vacation rentals have so many destinations to choose from. In fact, Rented.com published a report on the top 150 vacation rental markets in the United States. So how do you decide which market is best for you? Here are Rented.com’s top tips:
