Hi @Dylan Fraembs and welcome to Bigger Pockets and real estate investing!

Not every STR has to be a 4 Seasons and even those I've waited on service before and it's not like someone was breathing down their neck waiting to revoke their hotel license when it happened. 

I'm still new to real estate investing but I'm open to feedback  @Jade FrankIt really depends on your long-term goals.

. :) Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Look for areas with strong demand for affordable housing and check infrastructure availability like water, sewer, and roads.Building relationships with local real estate brokers and connecting with municipal contacts can help uncover off-market deals and streamline your search.

Hey@Briley Roe for my most recent real estate deal (brrrr).

Since there are technically 2 cities called Kansas City and they are located in different states (with different laws and building codes), it's very important to distinguish between the two, local referred to as KCMO and KCK.So, a long way to ask, are you interested in real estate in KCMO or KCK to start?

Additionally, it’s a good idea to network with local real estate agents who specialize in short-term or mid-term rental markets.Good luck with your new venture!

Hey Trevor, welcome to the real estate world!

Seriously—Pick a Property TypeDetached houses might be the easiest to work with, but the real key is committing to a property type.
