.: Just getting ready to post my 3 bed/2 ba home as an STR in San Diego.

Don't use overly rozy projections based on self-management and renting it out forever.2) Higher risk - how do you know which tenant caused the damages or brought in the bed bugs?

Quote from @Sidra Amir: There was no complain of bed bugs before.

Purchase price: $118,000 Cash invested: $118,000 Tried to buy a place during the pandemic in NY but was getting outbid like crazy over 100k, so I was lucky enough to buy a condo in tulum mexico and do a short term rental. 1 bed, 1 bath, with community pol, 15 minutes away from the beach and 15 minutes away from the city.

But I could easily make this a 3 bed, 2 bath within the existing sq ft. 

Two are 3 bed 2 bath, and one is 4 bed 2.5 bath.

After catching the investing bug, I flipped my first property and turned it into a rental—which I am still renting today!

Computers can analyze property based on subjective data (square footage, # of beds/baths, etc.) but cannot calculate for objective data (quality of kitchen cabinets/counters, size of bedrooms and bathrooms, view out the living room window, etc.).You should study the market yourself.
