My current strategy is to focus on STRs where I can juice my returns.

I would tell people who were worried about a recession or a slow market that "It does not matter what the rest of the country is doing, we are in our own world here, they can go belly up and we will always be alright".

Oooohhhh man, thank you, seriously, I have not had a belly laugh like that in a long time.
