For me, I may need to relocate to fully retire or may want to travel after retirement but always want a place to come back to.

As you plan to reset and pursue your goal of attaining $5,000/month in positive cash flow with decent liquidity, partnering with other investors could be a valuable option to consider.There's a famous quote that says, "If you want to travel fast, travel alone; however, if you want to travel far, travel in a group."

This is an area that thrives on travel as it’s primary industry.

I think we are already starting to see that shift, and that midterm rentals will grow in popularity not only with travelers but also with local tenants.

My biggest concerns are 1) the property is not exactly walking distance to the beach, and 2) the area looks a little crummy in spots with some trailers.

I paid 100% of the cost for the property , but while getting the deed( Tenancy in Common is default  in the foreign country) added my dads name to for convenience, as he being retired had more time to travel and do any tasks.

It was bought out by CHI Franciscan, and it's drawn tons of traveling nurses.

If you were able to actually occupy and travel back and forth overseas and back to the US but keep it as your USA primary residence, maybe that would open up options as a second home/primary, etc. depending on the full situation.

I currently travel a bit for work and often stay in short term rentals, and this list pretty much covers all the major items I think are must haves for a top review!

I've traveled around the area and talked to some store owners from Asian Foods Supermarket and Lil M bubble tea shop, and have heard great things.
