Near the Pearl and in the Med Center are two areas that are doing very well for STR/vacation rentals.

I'd probably look on the med-to-higher end of properties there, as you don't want to deal with the hassle of the lower tiers from far away.

There are also some spots near the Med Center that work well, and also near St.

@Sawyer Dina Im not surprised to hear that you had a good experience working for this company.

Sometimes a cat or dog is a chill well cared for and awesome addition to the house; other animals can pee everywhere, chew the door and window frames, bark all the time, go bananas and stuff their nose in the crotch of every visitor, or the owner simply will not spring for flea meds or vet visits, leading to problems all housemates can feel.Like many aspects of this, it's a balancing act, and something to be mindful of.While I'm thinking through it, other things to keep in mind include furniture, storage space, parking spaces, and visitors.

Take your meds.  

With a sole prop, you typically keep all profits and also pay taxes and SS/Medicare on all income whereas with our S-Corp we W2’s ourselves and take draws to avoid the extra SS/Med expenses.

Doesn't Columbia have several med schools there? 

It will be a long-term play because appreciation is low and slow here, but some of the highest risk areas are right outside of very popular areas (huge river renovation/development and out the medical district, think hospitals, research facilities, med school), so it's a good bet! 

So, your send is that should be okay if they don’t have much credit or income (med school student), and the main reason they are on loan is the O/O status, while my wife and I carry the credit and capital responsibilities?
