It's a banking and bookkeeping platform built specifically for real estate investors.

I find this screens out any guests that could have issues and lays the groundwork for a great stay.It also weeds out folks (in our case) that aren't understanding the distance to town and certain activities in our area.

I would take a 10% return in my home town A/B versus a 15% return in a C market OSS.  

We have done out of state investing and we hold 3 SFH and one Town home in Atlanta, GA and looking to expand our portfolio.We attend a monthly meetup every 2nd thursday in the month.

@James SyedIf you search your town and "process server" you'll come up with something.  

Google and Yelp in some towns could rank Applebees as the best restaurant.

A general rule of thumb though (not a hard rule) is that if a market has a prolonged history of vacation rentals such as towns whose commerce is very dependent on tourism like beach or mountain towns, then there is a good chance than those towns have established their airBNB regulations decades ago and are likely stable.

In 1.5 years, I will be moving to a large university town to start a dental residency program, and I am viewing this as an opportunity to invest in my first property.

I lived in a college town and student rentals did very well as did STRs for parents coming in to visit their children.  

It's a 4 bedroom SFH for $325k, built in 1990 and it's got many upgrades including a 2024 roof.
