However we are still on the fence.Just curious to hear how other STR owners are doing and what strategies they are using to stay afloat.

I had a meeting with a representative from Prime Corporate Services about their tax planning and strategies.

Alongside my studies, I’ve had the privilege of competing as a Division 1 hockey player, which has taught me the value of discipline and strategy—qualities I’m excited to bring into my real estate journey.I’m looking to purchase my first investment property in the U.S. with a budget of $250,000 to $350,000 in cash.

@Roger Garner the strategy will really depend on what level of involvement you want in the project.

For investing, I'd always recommend house hacking to start off, as it's the most approachable strategy, and you also learn very quickly if you like owning rentals or not. 

Overall, I think this would be the best strategy. 

@Nik FarooquiTo maximize value in construction markets like Akron and Bessemer, consider strategies such as flipping, renting, local partnerships, and joining investor groups.

Don't let anyone tell you that X strategy doesn't work in this market or that market, all BS.

Can you locally house hack and do the room by room strategy? 

New to this local market, I wonder whether buy and hold is a good strategies for this market (balanced between cash flow and appreciation for class A or B, I know cash flow is difficulty in general given today's real estate environment )?
