Working with a great broker can also help as they will know how best to represent your interests and play the game.

Curious how this will play out in the courts (granted it's LTR) and affect pricing products used for STR such as PriceLabs (which I use but have to seriously manually adjust for very specific reasons).

Within my 20 years of experience, owning 30 properties and managing over 300, I've found that the question always comes down to this: Can you do better than the rate you're paying—either by saving more or making more?

Is this ultimately a land play? 

@Emily Gowen so as you pointed out you would not have to do a 1031 exchange on your current home to avoid the capital gains tax and coupled with what Dave Foster pointed out I think, speaking from experience you would have a high likelihood of success. 

You want to play the charitable hero.

Example; I am invested in a fund that does active option plays on Tesla.

There are many good locations - I'd suggest that you play around with the "Market Finder" tool at the top of the screen here, included with your pro membership. 

You need to remember that, hopefully, this is a long-term play for you, so work with a trusted STR designer (I have great recommendations), and spend the money upfront so you can be the most successful in your area.

I also think, the flat rate ppl are playing to a race to the bottom.
