hi! new to STR investing

[Emily Davis]

Hi there! I am new to short term real estate investing, looking to nail in our first property this year. I have been looking in Santa Fe NM area, as well as Gaitlenberg NC, Myrtle Beach, or Savannah Georgia.  Trying to nail in a location that will have high volume of renters. I'm happy to hear any suggestions you have around specific neighborhoods to look in. I am also curious what is the wise way to buy, in terms of price/size of home. I prefer not to spend over 350k, but as I said, this is my first time so looking for any guidance and ready to learn!
