But, if steady long term cashflow is a goal, with no management, one can always sell farm land on a low down private contract.

Quote from @Jake Bute: Good Afternoon,I listened to Wheelwright's podcast the other day discussing how short term rentals do not have the same rules as long-term rentals when it comes to some of the tax laws around active/passive investing.

But I’m thinking of getting into STR investment and become more active.I’m a complete newbie to short-term rentals (STRs) and eager to wet my feet in this area.

Long term, your property is going to up in value; likely way up.

Now take short-term AirBnB properties like one of mine in Miami.

I have 2 properties now one I live in but Short Term Rent it when not home which is a lot.

@Joshua MiddletonI am very familiar with that street, good friend used to rent Long term on it for about 7 years.  

I generally look for two things: new homes on the market for sale are they being sold very close to asking price, with short days on markets or not.

Generally there are multiple units for each "zone" if you will when I've seen them installed.Regarding your problem at hand, I personally would simply adjust your plan to move and make your initial plan to get the current issues resolved, while costly now, in the long run holding onto the unit will likely pay off. 

I don't use padsplit (weekly rentals); I rent on long-term leases in B Class neighborhoods.
