Welcome to the community @Tyler Fremarek ! That is great you are in nursing, one popular strategy we see a lot lately is renting to traveling nurses using a "mid-term" rental strategy. Who knows one day you may get to financial freedom through housing your colleagues. Best of luck on your journey! 

Welcome to the community @Joshua Giles ! 

Hey Peter, welcome to BP! 

@Jon Martin Thanks for the tip on the Go Daddy vacation rental template! That is who I used to purchase my domain name, so I will check for their template as well 

Hey @Brett Sheeran and welcome to the community! Seconding what @Max Wilhite said, Multi-Family is a great way to get started. And if you can't find any multi-family that pencil out, sometimes you can find some hidden gems through ADU's on the property or a nice walk-out basement, etc. Of course just make sure to check with the town zoning laws on ADU's etc.

Welcome to the community @Leo Szac ! What areas in the Midwest were you focusing on and is investing in NY your new goal? Or are you going to invest long-distance from NY to the Mid West? 

I am in a couple of areas where that price range works including outside of Pittsburg and Springfield, MO 

Hey all! 

For your property websites, weather if its a direct booking site or not, what website builders are you using? And what are you using to help optimize the SEO? 

Welcome to BP @Colleen Sutherland ! I have some out of state Airbnb's and having people you know, like, and trust there is huge so that is great that you are originally from Ohio so hopefully you can find some good connections there. Reliable Cleaners will make or break your success with short-term rentals, so that is a must. Secondly a reliable handyperson will be very important. If you can find those two with a desirable property and location you should be ok. It is a huge plus if you can be near business areas or hospitals so you can always pivot to mid-term rentals if the short-term rental becomes too much hands on work or you can even use short-term rents in between mid-term stays 

@Kim Hardman Welcome to the community! That is very exciting that you and your husband are getting off of the sideline and into the game! Try to pick a strategy that you can be passionate about and of course makes sense. If you love hospitality and hosting, maybe the Short-term or mid-term route is for you. If you want less turn-over and just want steady rents, go for possibly long-term. If you don't want to deal with any tenant communication, you can use property management companies. Whatever aligns best with yours and your husbands personalities
