That’s the best bet.

Clearly, shes not happy and an unhappy tenant usually results in more issues down the road, and you can bet they'll be expensive issues. 

It's a stalemate due to affordability and either wages or prices give, I would bet the latter. 

Now they are priced such that rates must go lower in order for the deals to work, and I'm not convinced that reality will support that bet.3.

You could certainly reach this demographic, but it could also cost you substantially more than the return.For the money, your best bet is probably a dedicated website for your property with the key words that you want to convey.

Nothing is a sure bet.

Your best bet is to ask for referrals from professionals in the space: realtors, other investors, this forum, FB groups, etc.

Just like doubling down on a bet you could lose it all. 

Quote from @Brandon Foster: Hello Ryan,STR is do able in the north county area but there are a lot of rules and regulations.The city of Oceanside right now will not allow anything STR unless it’s west of pacific coast hwy.This is changing a lot too so you need to be aware of that in your plans.Carlsbad is super strict too but there are some condos that are still available to do STR in.Medium term rentals are as safer bet but way less profitable.

I’m not a betting man.
