In short consider the amount of hotels/STRs/major attractions near you.

Someone to stock supplies, an appliance repair person, heating/air conditioning repair, plumber, lawn care person, carpenter, salesman, and occasionally an electrician. 

Heloc’s are best utilized with a short term strategy, ie flx and flip, to BRRRR, etc.

If you were to buy, let's say a three bedroom or four bedroom home and rent out the other rooms to other single people.If you were to get a short term rental, you would probably want to have somebody else manage it and right now your average short term rental isn't doing really well.

I plan to use two of the bedrooms for Airbnb short-term rentals.

Like creating a stock portfolio, you could invest in some high appreciation markets and have some cash flow ones to offset the income.If you are thinking long term, appreciation is the way to go and generally at the higher price points.
