So, if you give your members a great move-in experience and they stay for a while, you'll earn more than the 12% fee structure. 

Worst case if I have to leave the United States and work abroad, can I still have my house as a rental property after a 1-2 years and earn passive income from abroad even as a non-US citizen? 

My initial thought is to invest this into the stock market (Amazon, Tesla, Google, etc...) and keep doing that for the next two distributions as well, ultimately pulling it all back out, plus the earnings (hopefully) in 3 years time to purchase a house.Based on the plethora of experience in these forums, does the above sound like a good plan? 

Just gotta go to work and earn more money.

German Village is one of the most desirable areas to live in, while Driving Park is one of the most affordable neighborhoods.

So far I looked in Idaho, specifically Boise and Nampa but property prices are a little high to have an LTR make sense and while Nampa has better Cost Seg estimates than Boise it also seems a lot less desirable for both STR and LTR.

@Kevin Orellana do you like the asset; is it in a neighborhood that you are proud to own it, do you see it continuing to be a desirable place to live? 

Even if they don't pay, I'm still ahead because I collected $3,000 in fees that year.Again, in my experience, I have had hundreds of pet owners and only a few of them have caused damages beyond what a deposit will cover, so I have earned tens of thousands in exra income for my owners.

I have had a desire to invest in real estate particularly STR’s for years.
