Our STR/MTR portfolio typically sees around 80% occupancy, and I’ve noticed that the online travel booking sites often push properties with consistently great guest experiences.

You also don't need to do a traditional long term strategy, is there a draw the  area that playing host to a traveling nurse or other professional/student would be interested? 

Got back from traveling. 

I am also a licensed EMT, and would love to provide housing for travel nurses, contractors, etc. in that realm since I can relate to them in previous jobs that I've had.I'm looking to invest in these states preferably: Georgia (1st choice - preferably near or south of ATL or in/near Savannah), Alabama, South or North Carolina, and Florida.

.: Quote from @JD Martin: The 1% "rule" is just about dead everywhere outside of the midwest and some places in the south that are still relatively cheap.

Grandpa and Grandma take five acres on the back forty and punch in a well and sewer (when it was cheap to do so), run some water and sewer lines with the old backhoe. 

Due to our love of traveling and hating the negatives that LTR brings along, we prefer STR and offering the same memorable experiences to travelers that we have experienced when traveling.

I'm looking for someone is willing to spend time with me and maybe teach/talk/travel around the city some.

I have a solution that I do myself once a year.Here's one of my best tips: go on Airbnb as a TRAVELER, in Traveler mode.

Thats really awesome, I travel to Mexico quite often and have been thinking about this.
