I live outside Nashville and am a law enforcement commander.

It took a bit longer than expected to find a tenant, and the rent the house commanded came in at the lower range of my expectations. 

It's also worth noting that long term rentals are so scarce here that they command a pretty good price. 

You will have to handle frequent check-ins and check-outs, provide amenities, manage cleaning services, and handle any issues that arise on a short turnaround.Pricing: Short-term rentals generally can command a higher price per night compared to monthly rentals, but the occupancy rate can vary depending on seasonality and other factors.Security: You'll want to consider investing in good security measures like smart locks, security cameras, and an effective vetting process for guests.Wear and Tear: STRs can cause more wear and tear on your property because of the frequent turnover.

@Andrew ChimeI am a real estate agent and investor in TX.Most cities tend to command quality tenants, and they have great schools.Get in touch with a local agent or investor and shorten your learning curve and save you a lot of headaches as they tend to understand the market better.All the best!

You'll know your ready when you have full command of the math and analysis of it all. 

Of course the mid term rentals to nurses or students command higher rents.

That said, I have a few premium properties commanding top 25% (really top 10% rent) for the area and I supply ALL appliances, nice ones at that, in those units.

I don't think your gonna command your rate or target vacancy in Escondido for STR.   

In Detroit, if you are the current legal owner and can prove it to the Precinct Commander at the local police office, state to them you have a person who is "trespassing in your property" and you want them removed from your property.
