Traveling professors and medical professionals would probably be my target avatars.I am biased though toward MTR as a strategy, and it's not without risk to spend a couple grand converting an empty LTR into an MTR, so consider all of your options carefully.

That's why my question was to go ahead all over the USA to see people's suggestions for better locations.The fact that you don't think it's silly to ask a forum to recommend any place in the United States for STR and expect to get answers from people without a funnel to sell you something is silly.Jersey City and surrounding is very good for MTR opportunities because of the proximity to NYC and since you are in residency, you would be MUCH safer focusing on MTR since you have an in to other medical professionals.

First, a lot of people exploit old people (some registered nurses, members of heavily regulated profession, with multiple degrees and licenses in nursing and medical sciences come to mind.

From now to April has been a slower season for us in that our properties stay vacant for longer this time of the year.

Do they pay for vacation pay, medical insurance, workers comp, payroll taxes, PTO & holidays, ongoing training, trucks & commercial vehicle insurance, liability insurance, admins, marketing, SEO, liability insurance, bonding fees, licensing fees?

Point is, yes, this strategy works and MY place works well for business travelers (individuals) and the occasional medical professional (who--no offense--ALWAYS asks for a discount :).

I wasnt even there.My insurance company took all the info and will take it from there but it looks like he may be able to get medical expenses.They said that if it was a single family he probably wouldnt get anything but because its considered commercial then he might be able to get paid.

Summer is usually much slower, then we have a smaller "second selling season" from early September until around Halloween. 

I am in the process of purchasing 3 properties all right next two each other. 1 multifamily and 2 commercial office space of which we plan on using a significant portion of for our medical practice.
