ThanmaI would recommend focusing on Anderson, SC, as it has experienced significant growth in recent years and serves as a more affordable alternative to Greenville, SC.

About a year or two ago I pivoted and started flipping and finding alternative strategies, but I have realized those cannot replace this strategy, they can be in addition to it, but I need to continue buying, moving, and keeping as a rental every couple of years because this really is the best strategy for building long term wealth.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Ask for documentation that justifies these alterations.It's essential to feel confident and informed throughout the lending process, so don't hesitate to advocate for yourself and seek out advice or alternative options.

I know trailers are very popular and even considered renting out spots.

Unless there exists some alternative revenue source for a Paperstac-like platform to profit from (beyond transactions) or some amazing value proposition not already provided by Paperstac, it's hard to envision a similar site for smaller players doing well. 

Its a popular product and can accomplish your goals.

Branson MO is a very popular choice for both LTR and STR market with lower median price points and consistently draws over 9 million visitors.

And no matter how many homes I sold in 7 days or less, which was kind of my thing, still the popular messaging was "you got luck, now run away". 

You may not get it but set the bar high, or the alternative is you won't close. 

Now this is my opinion and for others it’s very different depending on the situation - I just wanted to share an alternative point of viewRegarding what has more wear and tear, I would say short term rentals have more wear and tear to them than long term tenants but also depends on the tenants.
