Hey everyone,I'm looking to get started in the short-term rental business and could really use some advice.

First off, apologies if this post is too long or has too much information for a first post, I am just trying top get as much put there in hopes it connects with as many people as possible.About me.. 

If you can find a fixer at a good price, with room for an ADU, and the comps are good, then you have a deal.Are you planning on flipping or long-term holds?

Do you get nervous about the long-term commitment of a 14- to 16-month lease?

A couple of things I like to tell my newbies-Owning a short-term rental property can offer significant financial benefits.

My name is Omar Santander a new investor that is interested in residential units (single-family and multifamily, with a particular emphasis on multiunit), house hacking, long-distance investing, BRRRR and mid/long-term rentals.

Does anyone have any advice on effectively setting up temporary battery-operated cameras on a long-term rental property to deter break-ins and squatters while rent-ready repairs are being made before a tenant moves in?

Once I've completed these initial projects and built up some capital, my long-term goal is to transition into buy-and-hold investments in potentially more affordable markets to maximize cash flow and scale up.Right now, I'm particularly interested in investing locally here in the Seattle metro area.
