Demand and occupancy appears strong, but the numbers don't add up for me to justify the effort of STR.

That's why I'm focusing on education first; I want to set a strong foundation before making my first deal.Apologies in advance-I'll be asking too many questions, just to warn you-but I really feel delighted to be aboard, learning from each and every one of you and subsequently sharing my own successes.

If you want to buy  STR or MTR, i recommend buying next to hospitals there or near strong economic bases.

Landlords who adapted quickly by recalculating rent strategies and communicating openly with tenants maintained strong relationships and minimized financial disruptions.5.

Avoid common pitfalls like skipping due diligence, underestimating repairs, and overleveraging having reserves and a strong team is key.Good luck!

This approach helps maintain strong relationships with tenants and avoids disputes.Hope this helps!

I think real estate is very forgiving (1) over the LONG term and (2) if you're well capitalized / in a strong financial position. 

It sounds like you’ve been doing some serious groundwork with all the reading and research, which is such a strong start to your journey toward FI and retiring by 55.It’s awesome that you’re exploring real estate as an option, even if you’re not completely sold on being a landlord yet.

I would strongly advice consulting with an attorney or financial planner to discuss your options.

If you’re considering other custodians, I recommend focusing on those with a strong reputation for consistent customer service, transparent fees, and ease of account management.
