I also notice that @Gregory Schwartz mentioned Huntsville in particular—I definitely think that it’s a strong market for long-term appreciation.As for your concerns about investing out of state, I think an investment strategy that is as close to passive as possible would be best.A do-it-yourself approach—where you acquire a property, place a tenant, interview a bunch of property managers, and handle maintenance yourself—is going to be pretty tough to do remotely.

I noticed some of the reviewers mentioned how the area is up and coming so if the area is questionable that might be contributing to this.

Quote from @Shayan Sameer: Quote from @Zachary Deal: As several folks have mentioned leveraging equity in current property you owned is a great tool but still comes with the some of risks as you had before using hard money debt as there is never a guarantee your new project will be a success (there will always be risks with real estate investing).Leveraging your investment property would probably be the first step I would take. 

Not to mention they wrote of over $300k worth of taxes for me utilizing a cost segregation study. 

If you think things are busy now, wait until you get stuck with a problematic tenant!

If yes, I would just serve this notice and wait for 60 days for him to move out. 

As I mentioned above, I appreciate your honesty. 

I will mention that a hot tub could really increase the frequency of bookings. 

You can find a bunch of lists that mention top amenities such as hot tub, sauna, etc.

If you do not feel comfortable pursuing additional growth, I'd wait it out just a bit.
