Next, a successful short-term rental just three blocks from the sandy shores of Lake Michigan—where beachgoers and weekenders keep bookings rolling in. And finally, a jaw-dropping 6BR cabin in Tennessee featuring an indoor swimming pool, game room, and in-home theater—this one is built for maximum occupancy and maximum profits. These and more shared exclusively with Investor’s Edge readers.
