The west coast of FL has created a lot of buzz throughout New England over the past couple of years.

Most of our STRs have an office set up of some sort or a spot to work with monitors and we do find this attracts a lot of guests where someone needs to work while the family enjoys the activities.Traveling nurses get a lot of the buzz around MTRs but displaced families from fires (Napa and Oregon do see a lot of these), other work force that can be remote or travel, or other potential guests.Also, definitely use Airdna or one of the other sites that estimate your revenue to see how it would perform in your market and then look at other listings as well to see what amenities they offer to see if you could be competitive in your market.

Moving into a tony neighborhood to give a child the best possible future in a  supposedly highly-rated public high school is largely a fool's errand, a game that we all play nowadays and almost every kid loses.

Still plenty of good investment opportunities but they just move a lot faster nowadays.  

They are popping up all over the place nowadays and while it may take a little time, you may be able to find some great leads through them.For what it's worth, I also agree with the previous comments; developing a relationship with your clients will definitely boost your probability of success.

Nowadays, many lenders would always pick a lower rate when disclosing the LE to the their borrower, but the borrowers are not aware how much are they being charged for their origination fees.

Nowadays it can be pretty slim pickings. 

I've taken into consideration that yellow letters may be a bit outdated, I just figured they're more personal than a text message or email nowadays.
