They're investing tons of money into those areas, and attracting a lot of good renters who work in the medical profession and will pay good rents to live close to their jobs. 

Tenant occupied properties can be attractive to investors if cash flowing...no one wants to buy someone else's problem. 

A skilled property manager understands tenant segments and their behaviors, which helps attract reliable renters.

When I had my B&Bs we also included local restaurants and attractions in the packet of information which you might want for a STR.

I've heard add 1-2% to your current rate, but it seems I could do a little more than that and it still be an attractive deal for the buyer.Also, I would like to find a loan processing company to deal w/ the payments & record keeping.

For more bookings, consider promoting on social media or offering last-minute deals.Regarding ticket partnerships, local attractions or smaller groups might be more flexible than larger platforms like Xplorie.

There are a couple REIAs in the Tri-State area, but none of them are backed by the power of BP and the incredible people that it tends to attract.

On the other hand, if you’re financially secure, the low-rate loan and potential appreciation make holding more attractive.

It also matters where the home is located, and what the weather, type of tenants it attracts/has been attracting, etc. other factors are.

There’s a big difference between an area that attracts stable tenants and one where you’ll be chasing rent every month.Personally, I’ve built a 12-door portfolio here, and it’s been a mix of cash flow and appreciation.
