Starting to consider whether to convert one of my LTRs to an STR. I'm already familiar with some of the basics of how the markets differ, but I'd be curious to hear what some of you have experienced in regard to any ...

My wife and I have loved real estate for a long time and invested in other areas, but are focused on building our portfolio in Kansas City.

A lot were doing air bnb up until the new rules came in place for the city of San Diego but you can still find a property outside the city that you can potentially do STR with to cash flow. 

You need to research/know the rules, laws and regulations (including HOA if applicable), like you'd do in any US city.

If you intend to continue 'helping' dogs, you need to move out of the city and to a rural area with acreage.

I've been doing investment real estate for many years and the biggest way to get started is finding a commercial real estate market you can afford as the biggest hurdle.

I like the idea of a different city that give me a lot of the benefits of San Diego without the high cost. 

My wife and I love Chicago but it is not an easy city to invest in.

I would be delighted to connect if you have any questions or if you're considering exploring the Kansas City market.

@Peter AlbertHi Peter, Canton city, to be clear, looks great for investing from afar.
