You made good choices with the books you're reading!

Local HML if rates are competitive to me would be a better choice they will help in the buy decisions and keep you from making a big boo boo.

Even if it is remediated they will always think and tell you that it is an issue- ultimately, we want our tenants to be happy and we have found that these types of tenants never are happy.

How many opportunities might you have passed up by focusing on something that ultimately is not what you want to do?

@Imdad Rahman, ultimately I feel like I am echoing the others, but will add anyways, because I have a nuanced take.1.

They prevent bedbugs from entering or escaping mattresses.Routine Inspections: Regularly check mattresses, bed frames, and furniture for signs of bedbugs (small black spots, eggs, or live bugs).Furniture Choice: Choose furniture with metal or plastic legs instead of wood, as bedbugs are less likely to infest non-porous surfaces.Bedbug Traps: Place bedbug traps under bedposts and other furniture legs to catch any potential bedbugs before they become a problem.Professional Cleaning: Schedule routine deep cleans between guest stays, and if you ever suspect bedbugs, hire a pest control professional immediately.Clear Guidelines: Educate your cleaning staff on how to spot bedbugs early, and encourage them to report any signs immediately.These steps will help you set up a smooth, well-managed STR that’s ready to generate revenue while maintaining a good relationship with your LTR tenants.

That's the problem because you have no ultimate control of your property and it's a sign that you're treated second class compared to the locals .

Here are a few I recommend: "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Roberto Kiyosaki; "Set for Life" by Scott Trench; "The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing" by Spencer; "The BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginners Guide" found here on BP; "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Tuner.

At this point I have read the How to Invest in Real Estate - Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Getting Started and I am currently reading Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat as well as learning what I can from the BiggerPockets website.
