You want to make sure that your property type and location is suited to the type of travelers coming to your area so that you market it appropriately, price it appropriately and can be competitive. 

If you are going for more appreciation (and it is in an appreciating market) the taking a lower cash flow might be fine.If you're confident with your rent number and the fixed expenses you have, then the only thing to negotiate is price and terms.

You insight helps me to feel confident in my methods I've been doing/thinking.

If I put the property in my personal name then its a non issue, but I can not find anyone to do specficly STR in a company name.Any help would be apprciated.ThanksMike I recommend Travelers!!

I was connected with a masterminds group and this is where I really gained my confidence to make an investment.

Nevada has lower taxes and more landlord friendly without the hassle of traveling to the midwest. 

I joined the BP community to network with people who I can learn from and also to learn how to analyze deals to give me the confidence to put an offer on something that makes sense for me.

When you travel, you can choose to use the card with the best foreign fees. 

I've begun volunteering with Habitat for Humanity to gain more confidence in DIY improvements. 

There are multiple large hospitals and plenty of large companies here, all that have employees who travel for work and are great STR tenants.
