@Nick Rivers, where do you feel you are coming up short?  

My short term goal is to start investing in single family homes/duplexes within 100 miles of Boise as long term rentals.

The allure of fat cash flow (at least on paper) and the low barrier of entry (down payment) never stop attracting new investors. 

It is normally the real estate that attracts the nuisance tenants which leads some to resort to section 8 believing its a cure all which is the furthest from reality.  

These type living arrangements are primarily short term until user circumstances change

We want to set up something short-term with or without wifi.

I am sure others will chime in here shortly!

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible but I am at a cross road in life here and can’t seem to find the guidance I need. 

I have owned 4 short term rental in those markets.

These areas tend to attract high-quality tenants and provide consistent passive income, which is a great foundation for building your portfolio.If you’d like, I’d be happy to share some insights about these types of markets and why they’re appealing to investors.
