Quote from @Mike Grudzien: Two thoughts:1) stay in your STR for a day or two and you'll discover things it needs or that would be nice to add2) use several touch-points to communicate with Travelers/Guests.

Hi Rennell, welcome to BiggerPockets and the exciting journey into real estate investing!

I’m very much excited about becoming a landlord. 

If you're prospecting the entire coast, just keep in mind travel times for tours and be mindful of the weather.

I'm excited to see so many of my peers in tech, prefab construction, government policy, architecture, et al come together to try to help those who need it!

This is a new venture that I'm looking into and real excited about. 

Congratulations on your last semester of college & the exciting endeavor of the military duty.

As a resident (who travels a lot) I would say the Midwest does not have the attractions like palm trees & beaches (the great lakes are cold) or amazing mountain ranges, which often come with some disadvantages like high cost of living or hut/humid weather, stroms etc. 

Second question is, if we don't live in the city we will invest in, we understand we will have to be traveling often, but who could be a good person to check in on the construction so we don't have to go every week?

Please consider the following:- Monthly savings: ~$4-5k- Full time job: Traveling and always relocating- No real estate currently ownedMy wife and I have long term goals to live on a remote ranch and would like to use real estate investing as a means to get there.
