Are there any tips you might have on sourcing great deals, deal structure, and how to know whether LTR, MTR, or STR is the best route to take?

Thank you for the detail information this is very helpful.

.* logistics of maintaining out-of-state property and tenants* having time to research enough about this while moving across the country to be confident in your decisions and planning* having time to research other opportunities, what could be done with the money if you soldReason I bring up the emotional stuff because yeah property is a hassle, but there may be another vision that lets you get everything or most of what you want, with a little bit less hassle, or hassle in a way that bothers you less.
