Hey Eric, appreciate you laying out the journey.. sometimes, real estate can feel like a marathon where every mile has a new surprise, rght?

Thank you so much in advance for your help.If you have a property manager and live 100s of miles away, it’s unlikely that you meet the material participation requirements to qualify for tax benefits you mentioned. ...

I'm curious as to whether others have walked this mile and whether you have any suggestions on how I can accomplish this. 

The farthest I’ve gone is about 20 miles away from my house which takes me about 30 minutes to get to.

The Oregon Coast is rugged and roughly 400 miles long.

LTRs with long term conventional financing and standard management aren't really cash flowing anywhere right now. sure, there are lower cost markets that look better on paper, but there are costs associated with those supposedly cheap markets as well - deferred maintenance, more challenging tenant base, higher cost turnovers as a percentage of the rent.2. i wouldn't pick a random market thousands of miles away based solely on statistics or numbers. 

But given most people's diversification is value-add multifamily in the southeast, bought in 2021/2022, and the only real diversification is between one BP/LinkedIn sponsor and the next... well that isn't very diversified. 

My property is located in a C+/B- neighborhood has the following landmarks nearby: -1.5 miles from a major university with a popular D1 NCAA college basketball team-1.5 miles from a children's museum-1.5 miles from an art and nature museum-1.5 miles from a beautiful nature parkIt's the dead of winter, and I'm wondering who I can market and how I can best market my property to on Airbnb.
