Especially in a high interest rate environment where cash flows on long term rentals are muted and there is significant capital required to purchase and list on airbnb.I live near NYC but would invest out of state in an airbnb / landlord friendly state.

With today's high interest rates, it usually doesn't make sense.

@Elmer Urias I ended up buying a vacation rental on Emerald Isle NC instead of Ocala.

also we do not know what is going to happen with int rates, they are very high now, the economy is not good and it is not certain they will be coming down this year. we know there will be more responsible gov spending, so maybe rates will come down, no way to know...I think you need to know the market where you plan to buy well, and go from thereBest of luck

This highlights why it is also important to manage lease-end dates. 

Some high-end STR's (like in Joshua Tree) do use professional models, but for your market and property type, I’d suggest removing personal photos and focusing on the space itself, so guests can imagine themselves there, which is really what you want.You also have 81 photos, that’s too many.

The overhead to start a company is low, but the cost to scale is high. 

What do you do to relax at the end of the day? 

We ended up just selling our 4plex, but out of the three, I liked heart and home best.

It gets quite cold here and power bills can be pretty high.
