Hi, thanks so much for your in-depth reply!

@James Wise Can you go a little more in depth.

Again just to reiterate, this is specifically for those who are NON-US citizens.I know my questions are very in-depth and seem complicated but no one in the Bigger pockets podcasts talks about how non US citizens or non-resident aliens deal with wanting to buy real estate and attempt to real their goals of achieving FIRE. 

@Priti Ag Airdna and Rabbu would probably give you more in-depth statistics about the demand.

We go over the lease in-depth in to answer questions + set expectations.2.

Without boring you with methodology, the result of an in depth study, leads me to believe that this is how gentrification starts.

All the time I hear.... if your new use Hospitable and then later once your accustomed to managing a STR you can change to another PMS that's more in-depth.

Looking into the STR market, i would suggest a couple things to include into your property search. 1) the STR market is very saturated here so look for something unique or offer unique amenities to your guests, this will help your property stand out 2) different set of rules for properties located within city limits vs without i.e. outside city limits doesn’t require a permit which the city is cracking down on the amount of STRs on any given street or neighborhood 3) HOA is a big deterrence as a lot of HOAs don’t want any rentals of less than 30 days so an in depth search into covenants and by laws would be doing your due diligence.

We would need to review your scenario more in depth to see what is the best option for an 80% rate and term using DSCR. 

If they are truly a local firm you'll want to vet their experience thoroughly to verify that they have the depth of experience to handle what you're anticipating.
