Many of my customers who are traveling nurses buy condos or townhomes in Florida as vacation homes, then rent them out when they're not in town.This system has proven to be very lucrative, as it allows them to service the mortgage debt and generate a good cash flow.

Being in the Army limits my ability to travel and explore markets firsthand.

As I travel about the country I see those dollar stores or DG in some very odd locations .. so odd that I am fairly certain if you had to take the building you would never be made whole.. agree on corner locations like Walgreens does.. now those are locations to covet.

Lastly, check any shared doors or gaps and add door sweeps or weatherstripping to block sound from traveling between the units. 

@Tom Dieringer After purchasing my first property in 2024, I acquired most of my short-term rental (STR) knowledge from The Short Term Shop, which included maintaining respectful communication with guests, keeping calendar availability up-to-date, and ensuring high-quality listings.When I initially began May of 2024, I opted to list my property exclusively on a single Online Travel Agency (OTA) - Vrbo.

Furnished mid-term rentals can definitely pull in higher rents, particularly with traveling nurses, corporate tenants, or relocators.

When I think of Blythe, CA travel centers, gas stations and fast food chains come to mind. 

we just poured 5 foundations in Columbus Ohio in the last month the total packages with sidewalks is less than $30,000 and that's cheap.

You can pay for expediting for plan reviews and the best way to "expedite" beyond that is to make sure that your engineer / consultants are submitting complete packages each review cycle.

To that end I put together a nice package for them..
