Jim,Are you thinking of buying an active STR?

That is the exact thing I'm trying to avoid.I don't want to be dependent on making money via active income for that long of a time, I want PASSIVE income.

If you don't like the idea of giving up control, being an active investor might be better for you. 

Add to that the time and stress. 

Then I would focus on either the active side of investing with finding deals and providing value to other investors, with the possibility of partnering with them on a deal.

Send me the active, pending, and last 6 months of sold duplexes in my area.

I’m thinking of being active in wholesaling and flipping.  

If you sell, unless you put the money towards another income producing activity, then it stays stagnant and loses to inflation. 

Basically only NE Jackson has owner occ activity Sojac very little to none anymore all investors who are only going to pay for what ever the cash flow is and deduct for risk.

This area and all the house band needs to be invasively inspected by a licensed general contractor to locate and repair the source of the moisture and any decayed woodThe crawl space had evidence of high moisture levels in the form of mold growth and some fungal activity.
