@Ken M. rents are softening in the places that have had a lot of new units come on line.  

It takes a lot of time to build up a reputation in the wedding/event space.

In rural Idaho, it is much the same way. the counties have minimum requirements and if you keep things on the up and up, it should be fine.Now, in a historical district, that is a different animal all together.

Hey @Thanh Lu, so if you only have a couple of units, then self management isn't that hard.The key to doing it right is setting it up properly and keeping up on maintenance.I can count the number of late night calls from guests on one hand.

Your check will come in the mail.It fairly straight-forward process.Hope that helps.

Everything is handled by the booking platform.

Bragg you can see the ocean at height and I argue its much prettier than than the Oregon coast..

I could come up with a down payment for an investment property in a different state easier than my home state at prices are pretty high in the 300-400 k just for townhomes.

When it comes to multis, you'll also be able to add in your tenants rents as qualifying income on the property which helps tremendously.

would love some commentary from peer cities in the midwest especially property managers or STR managers.
