But based on what I know around the country, there aren't many areas doing well right now with STR's.I will probably keep mine as long as I have a full time renter, but unless short term picks up, I will probably sell.

So you have people with thousands of dollars in monthly mortgage + monthly expenses who aren’t even breaking even in peak summer season.

For better or for worse, we aren't "federally" in a short sale environment anywhere in the country at this point in time (Yes, maybe one neighborhood in one city may have disproportionate value to debt, but not on ANY large scale ANYWHERE).

I'm curious as to what your occupancy rate is + margins are in areas that aren't the immediate central area(Think Pearl) or La Cantera area. 

That law is usually for managing properties that aren't yours.

I can tell you to avoid 39209 zip code because it's a war zone. 39204 and 39213 aren't much better.

I have even come across appraisers that aren't. 

However, HOA fees can be high & eat into the profits, and rental restrictions aren't ideal.

If you put it out there and no one is biting, then you know that the numbers aren't enough for the investors. 

We are quite rural right on Lake Coeur d'Alene and there aren't a lot of reasons to rent long term.
