Airbnb and VRBO are popular platforms, and corporate rentals or mid-term rentals like on Furnished Finder could also be an option depending on demand.

I think it really depends the style and setup.

Quote from @Unal Baris Kancoglu: Quote from @Corby Goade: Depends on the area and type of system you want.

@Blair Ross Jr depends on how much experience you have with investing in rental properties.

@Anna NickensDeciding between investing in mentorship or self-education for real estate investing depends on your goals, budget, and learning style.

@Bryce JamisonI think it all depends on where you live.

Initially I really wanted to do a STR down in North Padre Texas (as it is a place I have vacationed for years and have stayed in at least 8-10 of the STR in the exact complex im looking into, I see how my STR could stand out amongst the rest since Im huge fisherman down there and that is mainly what those STR are used as, already have boat rental option setup if I go this route, list of fishing and possible guides to go with depending on style of fishing, family, fun, hardcore wade fisherman etc etc and equipment rental available for those that do not have.), the places im looking at are decent $ properties that after running through calculators etc showing 18-22% CoC after management fees etc.But after listening to BP for about a month, now thinking BRRRR possibly and doing up here in the DFW area.

It's always worth comparing rates and terms, as some lenders might be more aggressive with loan-to-value ratios, depending on the location and property condition.

It would depend on the nature of the repair.

Deciding whether to sell or keep renting really depends on your long-term goals.
