If enough people reach out, eventually it would be great to start a meetup group for STR investors in the area.

Now, Christian hasn't been active since 2023...but sometimes people just read things and don't respond very much.Now, the things I would share with you in your inquiry here:1.

I just can’t imagine how everyday people spend this much money on pipe.I don’t think insurance covers any of the foundation repair, also wonder if insurance will cover any of the sewer line repair work?

You should have an open conversation with as many people as you can find.

Let your criteria do the filtering for you.Regarding retention and renewals, the only time I have asked people to leave is when they have had rent payment issues and/or damaged the property. 

So it may end up costing you $400k within 30-60 days without any financing options.How do people overcome this when you do your due diligence?

Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).

When I go to events like this, I do go to some of the sessions, but most of my time is just sitting in the lobby chatting with people. 

Also Mid-Term Rentals to traveling professionals, people displaced for insurance reasons, or doing a renovation to their home and needing a place to live for  3 months or more are also possibilities.

Knowing the rent will likely show up each month—even if the tenant has challenges—removes a lot of the uncertainty that can come with rentals.The people listing this apartment as a “Section 8 property” are likely trying to target buyers who value that stability.
