Who here is making 2-3x returns on their STR? I want to know what areas in the U.S. are hot. I have a full condo of furniture and have to move it somewhere to STR! Obviously I want it to be fully legal and licensed. I would love your experiences because my alternative is to spend a ton of money on airdna data! Thank you in advance!!!

@Bruce C.

Every day I have a Craigslist ad that shows up in the first search page.  Like this:

Todays ad

I also have 3 small billboards in and around the contractor parking lot.

Every spring I send flyers to every welding school in Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana. 

Every fall I send calendars of scantily clad women with my advertising to the H.R. dept of every contractors company that has rented from me.

There are magnetic signs on my truck.

I have a side job.  It's doing the pre-access drug screens for new contractors starting their jobs at the refinery.  Every contractor gets a nice metal pen with my contact info.  There are about 3000 pens floating around the Midwest.

Craigslist and my side job account for 75% of my first time rentals.  First time rentals are about 33% of my total rentals.  66% of my total rentals are repeat rentals.
