Everything at our wedding was donated pretty much.

I would love to refi my primary home (and if possible do a cash out refi on another property) but I'm self-employed and of course most of my 2020 income has moved to 2021 since my main job is in the wedding industry. 

MTR does include traveling nurses but also insurance (waiting for home repair/rebuild), people waiting on their new homes to be built, other professions in town on a work assignment (Duke Energy, Bayer, have been a couple) and the STR's attract everything from weddings, funerals, graduations, fishing tournaments at Jordan Lake, local classes....in short, we do not have much lifestyle appeal but I still stay booked.

Pittsburgh is a nice city but doesn't has as much going for it as STR locations like the beaches and mountain areas so curious if your STR attracts wedding, job relocations, and/or sports events.Thanks again!

So, right now I'm working with a realtor and mortgage broker (aiming for FHA Loan) and planning a wedding. 

I have an awesome house, not on the beach (by choice) but close enough plus walking distance to the walking bridge into the city as well as wedding venues, restaurants and bars and all the tourist attractions.

Wed like to start looking and buy something during the fall winter so we can remodel and have it ready for the summer rental season and see we can visit as well.

This property definitely has great potential and multiple revenue streams with it offering wedding services, family reunions etc but in talking with the agent it seems it hasn't been managed well over the last few years and needs someone to come in and breathe new life back into the property.

There is also a great Meetup every 2nd Weds of the month (yes, there is one tomorrow) in the Columbia, MD area.

Large groups would come through as a stopping point, corporate stays for longer-terms, and many family members would use it as they come through for weddings, baptisms, birthdays, holidays, etc.
