I would just try to enjoy the ride and learn as much as you can along the way. 

The best CRM is the one you will enjoy using and actually use. 

Part of my reason for getting into REI is so I can live the wanderer lifestyle while I'm still young enough to do it and enjoy the activities that we love; we have a Northern Lite truck camper and while it's a bit too small for my husband and I, our 2 dogs and cat, it's perfect for traveling up to a couple weeks at a time, which is what we both want to do.Thanks again to everyone for the great advice and warm welcome.

But lately it has come to situation where student sign 12 month lease, decide to vacate in the 11th month but property manager doesn't let them without paying for the last month which then students decide to stay through that last month.

If the tenant has vacated, you post a notice of abandonment ASAP.

This list is just one of many data points that can help identify areas.This is a 500 ft view, you still have to drill down into neighborhoods, streets and specific houses that will work well as a STR or Vacation rental (not just an airbnb).I look for higher end vacation rental properties above and beyond what people call airbnb's.A room in someone's house can be an "airbnb" after all.I love the new Vrbo commercial with Nick Saban.

Kyle - I'm local to the Philadelphia area and would enjoy a conversation on real estate.

I am looking into purchasing my first condo in Destin, FL for short term vacation rentals.

I now currently own 6 Vacation rentals across 3 states, 1 long term rental, and manage other Vacation Rentals through my business, Lubbock Complete Bnb.

. ;-)However, if it's cosmetic,I'd just wait until they vacate.
