Most are traveling professionals needing an alternative to a thousand dollar a week hotels.

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $150,000 This is our first deal as a full family (Parents, sister and brother in law, me).

Short-term rentals are popular around the downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods, mid-term rentals are common to target traveling nurses and doctors from health facilities like Nationwide Children’s Hospital.I’ve also spent time living in Cincinnati and it has a lot of unique character.

I work a lot, probably more than the average W2, but we also travel a lot, at least 6 trips every year.So that's what's driving me, numbers on a screen are nice, but they are not fulfilling on a personal level.

Many of also argued that forcing out many STR's will impact our tourism revenues, which we're very dependent on, as many travelers won't come here if they have to stay in a hotel.

That is with travel time.

It could be worth transitioning to a midterm rental if there's demand for that type of housing in your area, like traveling professionals or remote workers.

I’m self managing myself but the tax side of it is a little confusing to me but I’m recording everything involved as far as maintenance, traveling, expenses etc. just want to know what some people would do in my situation or what to I can benefit from come tax season  @Angelo LlamasI recommend that you find a real estate accountant to help you understand and prepare your taxes.Bigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant. 

In rare instances we will let someone pay through Square or Stripe, with them paying the cc fee, but only in unusual cases, such as one time with a tenant who was traveling and didn't have a bank account to use with our online platform.

Not sure her “design” fee or what was spent on travel.
