For example, areas like Chicago have a strong demand for furnsihed rentals, especially in neighborhoods near medical centers.

Owensboro, the state's 4th largest city, has a population under 100K, and many OOS investors prefer cities with at least 300K residents and strong job growth.

If you don't have anyone that has booked a week or so before, you can move it to 1-night min on weekends but I would hold strong personally.

We seem to have a strong (but faulty) bent towards following prognosticators, for better or for worse. 

I own a high-demand business that I've been planning on selling anyway but that sale will take a minimum of 6 months, so I can't use that for the initial purchase. 

You've overcome the initial hurdle.

Also, I assume a 10% property management fee in my calculations and based on initial conversations.

I wanted to bring in more houses, I wanted to take pictures with the guys and our remodeled houses like trophies and make media to bring in more sales, perhaps joint venture with other investors and grow a really strong powerhouse of a team and take on tough, challenging places and really beautify an old neighborhood.

What are your returns like, is it a strong STR market?

Yeah that is a huge pet peeve, but also could be AI posters who don't care or my even least favorite, didn't get the initial feedback they wanted so they didn't look again.
