The only reason I'm responding to this nonsense is because I really do enjoy helping people.

It’s a bit more boom and bust than the rest of the country.throwing out a number here, but I’d be willing to bet 75%+ of STR owners either bought well, bought with a long term view, or enjoy personal use and this don’t really care about the next few years.I mean, pick your asset class, shame on anyone who tried to get rich quick on a short term time horizon.

For those of you who enjoy reading court decisions here's one from NJ on a claim of unjust enrichment I found interesting.  

So I check the plumbing that we replaced, I look under sink, I check smoke detectors, also look at spot I repaired under a bad window seal,  heck doors for light leaks.

If you are more focused on building wealth and enjoying the benefits at the traditional retirement age, you should choose a different path.

The only I'd add is find a Lender/Realtor who cater to investors and enjoy coaching their clients.

Best for singles, but I know couples who do this successfully and enjoy meeting new STR guests.

That doesn’t seem like quiet enjoyment to me.

A house doesn't go from 70 to 50 in a few hours unless they open their windows to enjoy some fresh air.

My apprehension stems from the possibility that the elevated borrowing costs may outweigh the potential rental income and tax advantages, making it challenging to replicate the financial benefits I've enjoyed in the past.
