I speak to the estate planning attorney on Wed (I have another property in Philadelphia in my name that needs to be sorted as I'm currently exposed liability wise and another internationally also in my name that I am about to start STR) so I want to read up before that meeting.Thanks!

Then there are calls about all sorts of minor stuff - and just odd behavior, like calling the gas company at midnight because they thought they smelled rotten eggs….. getting our gas shut off for a day, bringing over questionable house guests, bringing over a small dog and housing it without asking, and just overall kind of being a mess.

Borrowing with no income is ripe for that sort of result. 

They still like to see some sort of "grouping," whether it is in home style, neighborhood, SFD only, etc. 

Moreover, having a mentor or some sort of coach is an absolute must-have, in my opinion, if you're just starting out. 

@William Johnny if you only have $250-$500/month you probably don’t have enough to invest now as you would likely need some sort of a down payment and reserves.

Some counties have some sort of GIS (geographical information system) interface for their data.

I'm using the ENEMY method, AirDNA, Mashvisor, Revedy, and Pricelabs for comps and analysis.I was able to select the market and community that is marketed as vacation rental homes and most of the houses are set up as STR.

We have bought through this realtor before.I selected a Buyers broker to represent me, versus working with the Owner/Realtor to buy his ground.
