Taking the leap into STR

[Sam Deacon]

Hi all, this is my first ever post and I am exited to start my STR journey. I have owned a LTR in the past but am intrigued by the possibilities of owning a STR. I cannot seem to wrap my head around good locations and where to find STR's without being overwhelmed by many listings and different information in regards to occupancy and predicted ROI.

I am looking for decent monthly cash flow and would probably hire a management company to deal with cleaning etc as I am looking to invest outside of CA. 

Any information on where to start would be hugely helpful.
