@Daniel Purcell with City of New Orleans being so restrictive, is there a neighboring City that seems to have less of an issue with STRs and is still fairly accessible to all the things visitors are interested in?

@Shivani KumarYou would need to operate on a very large scale, or have access to a TON of airline miles to make it worthwhile flying to inspect properties you are interested in.

From prior research, it appears that Avail is on accessible via website; it does not have a mobile app yet?

I get access to a lot of large multifamily deals and happy to connect and help any way I can help.

They are a legitimate company that helps you access 0% lines of business credit and help increase your personal credit score. 

More importantly, with the rate and lending environments of the past two years, having mortgage insight, access and resources has supported or improved the invest-ability for the majority of my real estate clients.

Quote from @Madhul Shah: I live in New York and I'm 22 years old.I'm interested in starting to invest in real estate and am still new to the process.I have been exploring STR deals around the country.However, my question is if someone has access to a substantial amount of capital, would it make sense to invest in LTR's?

I used to work for the VA and I know for a fact that the VA loan will allow for additions, if nothing else, for handicap access and disability related navigations of the property, to include stairwell modifications, handrail additions, etc.This is usually only for unique cases of disability though, IE severe injuries and/or disabilities.

It will allow me to purchase a larger deal by having access to heloc and pay it down within a year 3k per month from combined cashflows from other rentals. 

Part of the HOA includes lake access with a shared dock owned by us including 16 boat slips.
