Cashflow is hard here but with STR and creativity it's possible, and the appreciation makes it worth it in my opinion.

I look at who the company associated with.These are just my opinion about it.

I'm of the opinion that a property that cannot create $15-20k+ per year in rental revenue is going to struggle keeping up with maintenance and repairs.

G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

Welcome any thoughts and opinions!

Greg,You are correct I made some opinions based on reviews and a youtube video I watched where the first thing the gentleman said is "We are Not a lender".

I know this is an unpopular opinion around here that you won’t see on the front page of the daily BiggerPockets newsletter, but it’s the truthI get where you're coming from, and I think you make some good points about the challenges of the short-term rental (STR) market right now—high housing prices, mortgage rates, and fierce competition.

Whether you’re managing properties, operating STRs or long-term rentals (LTRs), or just have an opinion on the state of the market, I’m eager to hear your thoughts and any new developments you’ve noticed.Here are a few things I’ve observed:Increased Supply of RentalsI’ve lived in Gainesville for a while now, and I remember a time when it was tough to find a rental.

In my case it was someone who knew a friend of mine and that friend vouched for me.In my opinion it is a great way to go if you have it available.

@Steven Catudal, In my opinion 100% you and 0% partner.
