If managing the STR is no longer sustainable @Robbie Shiver, here are a few alternative options to explore:Mid-Term Rentals: Consider marketing to travel nurses or corporate relocations for stays of 1-6 months.

I have a guest nearing the end of their stay who would like to extend for an additional week.

Only do this if you'll be staying in the house for a long time.

With experience in both the Treasure Coast and Boston markets, I bring a fresh perspective, local knowledge, and a commitment to helping cash investors, builders, and developers maximize their returns.

Guest checks out, cleaners arrive to clean, conduct post stay inspection, and reset the home for next guest.

Start small with manageable properties, mitigate risk with house hacking or partnerships, and stay active in the community.

I also have helped place tenants in section 8 properties as a volunteer with nonprofits etc. and agree that they tend to stay pretty long.

for $1000 coverage, a tenant staying 6 months would pay $354, or for a year, $708. 

You can scale from there.If you are planning to stay in the area long term, I recommend buying a primary. 

We will also use Touch Stay and AirDNA to integrate with Hostaway.
