Of course I always approach the market with a higher rent value. 

I am not sure if I should stay local to my market.

Cleveland is a great market, but hopefully my warning here will help you avoid the headaches I endured.

I live in a town of about 100k people here in Dothan, AL, so STRs aren’t the most popping market.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

It's a good time to review markets, but living in China there are a lot of other closer, international markets that could be options as well.

There are only 2 ways, as I see it in the current market, to get actual income/cash flow from a rental property - a paid off long term/mid term property or a well bought short term or rent by the room rental.

Can you please share any information on properties or markets where you are that can help guide my search?

our first baby is officially on the market and i have mix emotions but more happy because im excited for the next chapter !

Hey GaryI manage about 65 units in FL and I broker for STR buyers in this market, and some do self manage.Obviously the ones who choose us for management, we can assist with all of those items, but the ones who self manage do so by building a team.
