I liken it to the "cash value life insurance for retirement success" or "invest in crypto to become a quick easy millionaire" ideas. 

Our current focus is for a family lakehouse / lifestyle play here in TN but would like to work my way into commercial properties, short-term rental facilities, business acquisitions to name a few.

The way I finally found success was through repetition and then building systems as you repeat to help you scale...

While short-term rentals in areas like Kissimmee, Florida, can pay for themselves and offer lifestyle benefits, the ROI typically doesn’t match what I see from my traditional portfolio of long-term rentals in North Texas.That said, short-term rentals can still be a great choice, especially if you're drawn to the area and the opportunity to combine personal use with investment income.

What’s not working right now is traditional long-term rentals—high interest rates have crushed a lot of those deals.

I attended the RALA 3-day training in Phoenix and took a couple of online courses as well, and while I found these courses to be very valuable in helping get a clearer understanding of the space and what it might take to be successful, I eventually I found it most beneficial to bring in a partner/advisor who has built residential assisted living facilities here in Texas and has been running them successfully.

He owned a duplex, and one of the long-term tenants had built a small deck out back without permission.

I think most people would agree that a single family home is better than a condo for a long term rental.

To maximize your chances of success, recommend sharing that and the percent increase in taxes & ins with tenant and asking them what they think a fair increase is.- If they say $0-$50, you'll have to get rid of them at end of current lease.- If they are more reasonable you may want to accept if for now, but let them know you'd be doing regular increases to get the rent more inline with market rent.Too many newbies here will tell you to get market rent or get rid of the tenant.
