Have to agree with @Jonathan Styer about being VERY intentional if you choose to do this.

I would recommend that you screen your tenants and have them complete a background check with a company of your choosing and not just accepting Zillows in house background check that some of the tenants already have.

if I'm choosing one market/property vs another.

Only thing that scares me is the video as soon as you open the website "Why I'm liquidating 50% of my properties"?

This is particularly beneficial in popular tourist areas where demand for short-term lodging is high.Flexibility: Owners can choose when to rent their property, allowing them to use it personally during off-peak times.Support for Local Tourism: STRs provide a unique lodging option for tourists, helping to boost the local economy by attracting visitors who may prefer a home-like stay over traditional hotels.Diversification for Investors: STRs provide real estate investors with an additional income stream, especially if they own properties in tourist-heavy areas.Cons:Strict Regulations and Higher Fees: San Antonio recently updated its STR regulations.

I'm can record a Loom video response for you.Like any business model, you have to start with identifying the customer and where the demand is.

But in regards to your agents, you told me in the video that you know you go right up to the line on purpose and if you could you would just spam the crap out of everyone.

You can find Dean Harris's videos on you tube. 

I heard a video promoting Intellihost - wonders if anyone has used?

Choose your markets wisely to invest in.
