Starting with the Right PropertyGiven that this is your first STR and you’re planning to manage remotely, I’d suggest focusing on a market with a strong local infrastructure for short-term rentals—like Panama City Beach or Destin.

I'm in Columbia, South Carolina by the way and no I'm looking to build in another city but in South Carolina.

The City Board met twice a month. 

I bought 4  three bed properties in Kansas City in 2011 for $160k.

This is verified based on the good schools, department stores opening up (Costco, Target etc.) as well as verified investment from Jerry Jones (Dallas Cowboys owner) and the city to grow the population.

I can’t imagine what kind of things the city ask for turning silo into a house haha

Looking to purchase a duplex, triplex or fourplex in Panama City and do short term rentals for summer months and long term through the winter. 

If that isn't satisfactory speaking at a city counsel meeting about the subject would also seem appropriate. 

The city has great macroeconomics - population growth, job growth, and lots of companies choosing to move and develop here like Intel, Amazon, Meta, etc.

But since that time I left my corporate job, moved states, my daughter was born and is now 6 months old, and I began investing in a new city.
