As long as you're doing that, there's always a risk, and 50 years from now it will probably be illegal everywhere to operate STRs in residential zoning, just like it's illegal to operate a steel mill there. 

We travel for work (healthcare) and chronically live out of MTRs, so it will be our first time operating a shorter term, but won’t be an entirely foreign situation to us.

I personally recommend checking Columbus OH - lots of job growth, population growth, and major companies moving and developing here.

If you do decide to work with them, you could set up a clear partnership where they’re equity partners and you handle the management and operations.

.* Work Quality: Jenny never showed up to the house, she sent 2 people instead, she never mentioned she would not show up herself, she never asked for approval to send two others instead, they did not complete the job, and there were multiple unauthorized charges on my card.* Receipts and Expenses: Once I brought to Jenny's attention that we were 20k above budget, she refused for days to give me the receipts, saying that I needed to give her my credit card statement first.

That is the issue I am having now as my wife and I have great paying jobs and just cleared all our debt.

For a growth market to be growing, you need a lot of job and population migration. 

I can make more money spending the equivalent amount of time in my day job.

To address this I took detailed pictures from beginning to end of my most recent flip, documenting that we did a thorough job using quality materials.
