One LTR and 2 STRs. Like John said, it depends on a ton of variables. 

i worked at the state, so it wasn't hard to match my income with cash flow 😂, but I am probably doubling or tripling that number now.

Check out the BP rookie podcast. Tony Robinson does this a lot. 

I personally also prefer to invest in STRs alone when at all possible.

Another vote for self managing for the reasons already listed. Also make sure to check local str laws. Nashville has clamped way down on Str over the years.

I'm definitely good with 25%. I feel like net should be a little higher? Are you paying for property management?

a) If you heard about it on a national podcast, then it's probably already over-run by investors (and maybe regulations)

b) Well Joshua Tree is out......

I'm still making the numbers work at 30% COC in the Smokies. It's more competitive than it used to be, but you just have to stay the course, and keep making offers.

5 Pitfalls When Buying These “Crazy Cash Flow” Properties (biggerpockets.com)

I have a friend that bought a property through her in the Smoky Mountains and he's doing great. I've been finding too many good deals in my local market but intend to purchase something in one of her markets in the near future. Listen to her podcast because it has some great advice about how to find a good deal in a good market.

 Agree 💯%

You can save a lot of time just reading her book, checking out the short term shop website, and see what markets they are in. Then contact them to help you find a property. Welcome to STRs!
