. - Downtown location, near restaurants and a 3 min walk to train station- Only 2 off street parking spots, street is permit parking only but there is free parking down the street- Units have just been completely renovated- The city does not have any ordinances against short term rentalsThe biggest hurdles for me are: we're about to go into a slump/down season; potential parking issues; and if one of the other units were rented long term - dealing with the hassles related to that.

Time would be the biggest variable.Assuming the same repeatable services will have to be provided for STR & MTR, that are not provided for LTR, the costs may not be that different.Taking care of lawns, monitoring & paying utilities, taking calls, etc.Some services will be the same, but vary in frequency: cleanings, resupplying amenities, responding to inquiries, bookings, granting access, etc.

Your biggest asset right now is your time and your hustle.

The triumphs: What were your biggest wins?

The biggest change will be that tax deeds will not automatically be issued to the tax lien holder through the tax deed application process.

This describes one of the biggest problems found in the last 3 or 4 decades. 

I like Columbus Ohio because I see it being one of the biggest metropolitan cities in the next 10-20 years, all signs are pointing here!

* If you own an STR/MTR, what are your biggest challenges in getting them set up to rent?

I would NOT just let them out of the lease... turnover is going to be your biggest expense.

@James Wise my biggest concern is for new buyers who have no idea what they’re doing.
