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.

Also it would mean I get a different tenant pool for example travel medical professionals, displaced people due to insurance claims, digital nomads, etc and I really want to expand my knowledge outside of long term tenants and challenge myself to have a diverse portfolio of real estate! 

I have a close friend who successfully flipped a self-storage facility, making nearly a million on one project, solely through direct mail.

It’s just 7 miles from the beach, 2 miles from a large new hospital and medical campus, and within 2 miles of the county government offices.

I don't frankly know I have a dinner with him in a week or so will get more detailI know he bought a facility .. he owns dirt all over Oregon so that's not an issue.. and I know he has the financial ability to execute.. what I don't know is if he has just done these so far for his own account or has sold to the public.Standby I will find out and report back..

Companies like TSMC and Intel are investing billions into new facilities, and it's creating a real surge in housing demand.One of my clients was set on investing in Philly but decided to explore Phoenix after we talked.From what I read in The Wall Street Journal, Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing cities right now.

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.

Reminder:Ground improvements qualify for bonus depreciation.This includes various landscaping.Roads and external parking areas.Sidewalks and pathways.Fences.Utility systems (including the installation or improvements to water, sewage, drainage, and electrical systems).Outdoor lighting.Rec facilities (like playgrounds, sports courts, and swimming pools).And more.It's a big category for depreciation/bonus depreciation that we love.

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.

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?
