I did not factor the math in as a LTR + STR but just a LTR so it did not impact me financially as it was just gravy.That is not to say yours will, but I notice in the better neighborhoods tenants do not want guests coming in & out.

Financial freedom goes beyond simply replacing your current income; it's about sustaining your lifestyle for life.
