Apartments.com didn't have all the features that I was looking for - like blocking partial payments. 

New to managing our STR that is 1/2 block from the beach. 

Investment in this area tends to be block-by-block so as @Paul De Luca mentioned, it's worth driving through and assessing prior to making any investment decisions.

I recently spoke to a property management firm that told me their clients don't experience any pain with financials or taxes Jan - April. 

They can be a bit of a pain since your have to have a licensed GC on the rehab and have to deal with some other process/compliance stuff, but they will be a conventional mortgage that can fund both the purchase and the rehab all at once (very similar to an FHA 203k).

Speaking of Wenatchee Ave an entire block is being demolished, and current tenants are vacating.

Neither one allow full access to the entire closet i.e either half closet blocked with sliding type or part of closet blocked with bifold especially in a smaller closet.

Milwaukee is block by block and most OOS investors (and relocation clients) are surprised by the range of choices.

I am a block away from a university.Here is the dilema.

As soon as you see that two-day block, then you'd go into the calendar, click on "Availability Settings" then "Add another requirement" and change your minimum-stay requirement to only 2 days for those floaters.Be nice!
