He brings a lot to the table!

However, I just closed three refinances for an investor in the Pocono Mountains of PA. 

Plenty of money on the table, but extremely difficult underwriters and less than helpful loan officers in terms of information.

Each state can be a little different so the details matter. https://www.omglawfirm.com/arkansas-probate-intestate-succes...Here is the pertinent excerpt:If you don’t have a Will, the default order of descent goes like this: (1) full blood and adopted children of the decedent, subject to any dower, curtesy, and homestead interest of a spouse; (2) if no full blood or adopted children, then everything to a spouse of greater than three years or half of everything plus dower, curtesy, and homestead to a spouse of less than three years and the other half of everything to other heirs (per this table); (3) to the decedent’s parents or surviving siblings; (4) to the decedent’s grandparents or surviving aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.; (5) to the decedent’s great-grandparents or surviving great aunts, great uncles, etc.; (6) if none of those intermediate descendents are alive the remaining half can go to the spouse of less than three years or to a predeceased spouse’s heirs; (7) finally, if none of these apply, all the property escheats to the county where the decedent died.

To be successful right now in STR, you either need to go all out and beat everyone else on their table stakes (pickleball, basketball, game rooms, saunas, hot tubs, etc.) or you need to understand the market better than anyone and pick a niche for that market.Right now, you are one post in and just asking for someone to tell you anywhere in the United States to invest, which is silly.

It would help if you could give more information like which strategies you are using and what do you bring to the table.

Leave your price too low and you leave money on the table, too high and your occupancy will be abysmal.

It's very likely, you got played  fair & square per the letter of the law but if it makes you happy to scream at the top of the mountain go for it.

@Jason Frink, this page seems to cover it:https://www.omglawfirm.com/arkansas-probate-intestate-succes...Here is a pertinent snippet from that page:If you don’t have a Will, the default order of descent goes like this: (1) full blood and adopted children of the decedent, subject to any dower, curtesy, and homestead interest of a spouse; (2) if no full blood or adopted children, then everything to a spouse of greater than three years or half of everything plus dower, curtesy, and homestead to a spouse of less than three years and the other half of everything to other heirs (per this table); (3) to the decedent’s parents or surviving siblings; (4) to the decedent’s grandparents or surviving aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.; (5) to the decedent’s great-grandparents or surviving great aunts, great uncles, etc.; (6) if none of those intermediate descendents are alive the remaining half can go to the spouse of less than three years or to a predeceased spouse’s heirs; (7) finally, if none of these apply, all the property escheats to the county where the decedent died.A good way to visualize the order is to imagine the following scenario: Alfred dies without a Will.

And it's written under the pseudonym of Sean Cook by Paul Kaseburg.Paul’s sat on both sides of the table on over $2 billion of real estate deals.
