Needless to say, these late-payers are grinding down our tolerance and we are thinking of cashing out and moving onto a different investment or something within reasonable travel distance.

I can’t sign the closing document while I am traveling from country to country.What can I do?

There is also niche traveling progressional that could compliment an STR.Which has been the better success rate for investors in the area?

Buy a couple rentals, quit your job and travel the world is not realistic (anymore).As a city we have a lot of problems with OOS investors who do not take care of their properties. 

Yes, there can be external reasons - like a stinky factory next door - but mostly it is because bad landlords or property owners fail to maintain their structures and fail to enforce leases and rules.

In addition to being near the street car, we were surrounded by historic buildings such as the Anne Rice Estate House and a variety of the city's highest ranked restaurants that are regularly featured on travel channels such as Shaya.

While it's a topic for another day, I'm concerned over the softening of the market for domestic travel (although personally, it's great the US $ is doing so well).

ive been with Travelers for several years on one of my rentals. 

This is a big negative for me from ever wanting to do a MTR.There may be exceptions to this if your property is in a high demand area like a large hospital where there are many traveling nurses.

If i sell this, i may be able to net between 189k - 230k depending on what i get, not including fees (agent)  and capital gainsGoalTo be financially independent in 5 years or less so i can travel the world more.
