We relocated our family across the country.

We will be moving cross country and not involved in the management much so I don't think we can claim those losses. 

I have compared them to dozens of leases from around the country and can tell you the BP version is better than most.

We've got expenses dancing around $2-3k per month, a modest $10k stash, and a student loan payment ($725/month) the size of a small country's GDP.

Bottom line STR restrictions are just going to get tougher over the years so one needs to choose very carefully up front and also if your buying based on cash flow I would think you need to make sure your OK at long term market rent and base your buy on that.. if you get STR added revenue thats a Bonus.. there are areas of the country were STR will probably never get attacked like we are seeing in many markets.

Punta Cana accounts for 66% of the country's tourism.

Pete and Sarasota are ranked as some of the most overvalued markets in the country primed for a correction.

This country is being left into a beautiful embarrassment of riches as I see it.

@Molly Jones it sounds so interesting honestly - i am personally intrigued even though i don't want to invest out of country at this time in my career - i might have when i was younger like you..... 

My business exists specifically to help close deals with deceased owners/probate issues all the time all over the country.
