> which cities have less probability of natural-calamities (wildfire/dam/flood/quake et..)Elevation from sea-level etc..

If the property is grandfathered in for ADA compliance or other requirements (elevators, handicap ramps, etc..).  

Additionally, sometimes after a flood if the property is significantly damaged you may have to raise the elevation of the property. 

I would look up Michael Manthei and Jerry Horst of Elevate Investing in Lancaster.

My goal with BiggerPockets is to get connected with people who can share in my knowledge and love of Real Estate and elevate it to the next level.

I don't allow longer stays at my STRs for this reason.Many MTRs, other than Corp Housing, seem to operate like an STR by collecting rent & fees upfront but without the protection of an additional security deposit, just elevated rental rates over a LTR.  

If you don't delead within 90 days, you're on the hook if the kids have elevated blood lead levels.

Rental rates historically go up over time or remain flat so it may take a couple years for the rents to catch up to the higher debt costs, should they remain elevated, to entice the buyer pool currently remaining on the sidelines to jump back into the game. 

While this might be scaled down by smaller injections of capital, the administration here and risk is elevated by the volume.
