I’ve worked with a lot of investors and property managers in both Texas and Florida, so hopefully, I can help you sort through the options.Florida VibesFlorida could be a fantastic choice if you’re leaning toward short-term rentals.

One, you might want to consider Seller Financing (in Michigan, we call it a Land Contract) which can allow you to buy property while using the Seller as Banker; not all Sellers are open to this, but it can be beneficial to both the Buyer and Seller.

I agree with @Jonathan Greene that the question is vague, so my advice will have to be as well.The short answer: MTRs are real estate, so just like all real estate, any place that can long-term-rent cash flow with increasing jobs/population can be a suitable site to purchase. 

I think there's a path to refinance that would flip me into positive cash flow, but I'm coming up short on ideas. 

Congrats on going under contract!

Purchase price: $310,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Big Blue - 2 units fully rented, 1 with section 8 tenant and 1 unit being used for short term rentals What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I have a property (fix and flip) under contract, but now, shoot, the REAL work begins.I am located in Milwaukee, WI, but my property is in a near suburb of the city.

Look at Homes.com or Realtor.com to get an idea what that type of property is selling for (look at the ones Pending or Under Contract)...or, look in the county's GIS system to see what similar properties sold for.Once you have an idea what a fair market value would be, let the landlord (if they're interested in selling) mention their price. 

Yeah the law changed I believe back in 2020.You cannot do short term rental with an HPR unless you own both sides.   

Of the many strategies I've looked into, House-hacking and short-term rentals piqued my interests.
