Hi @Asif Ali Kabiruddin RajaniBeing a non-resident, I only invest in short-term rentals because, given my current situation, it's the only strategy that's profitable enough and not too risky.

Hire a property manager who knows they are doing and work that into your profit numbers.How do I find new expanding and promising areas? 

Pay close attention to the capital stack, how much debt there is, how much preferred equity there is, how much the GP is co-investing, how much they project rents to rise organically every year, what exit cap rate they're assuming, how much cash reserves the property/investment will have, how much does the deal returns change when you add 50-200 bps to the cap rate, what is your breakeven occupancy and exit cap rate, and a bunch more. 

Your 'profit' will come when you own and eventually sell an all TOH park.Here are some additional bullet points that I follow for your consideration.1- The best buyer is the one currently living in the home. 

This project showcased our ability to add significant value through strategic improvements, resulting in a profitable sale for our partnership.

The deal highlighted our ability to identify profitable opportunities and execute them efficiently, delivering a substantial return on investment.

Or They are a for profit business, that looks at their bottom line from a cush client?

Our thought here is that we will cash flow enough to cover property taxes, insurance, and management fees and possibly net $500-$1000 per month in profit.

I do know an independent landlord in our area that has one duplex and a fair housing organization filed a suit against him two years ago and he has had to defend it.  

She ended up flipping, renting it for 2 years, and then sold it for a 30% profit.
