We have rented the long term unit to family friends for over a year and the bills were always reasonable.

@Kasey Hardt very interesting,  didn't realize this was a pattern but even I've got friends that are getting recruited to the area for medical device startups etc, so could be a very interesting trend to watch.

Sacramento metro by contrast is more friendly, and there are some areas we target here that do very well for STR.

I plan on getting a property every year until I retire if I can find a good deal that cash flows positively.I have a very close friend whose stationed in Columbus GA whose a real estate investor and owns rentals there!

I agree that is will be a gamble as to how well it will do.Also, ask the owner if they will entertain partial owner financing to keep from dragging family and friends into this risky business venture.Maybe even rent from owner for a year with right to sublease to see how it goes before committing to a purchase.

To all the wonderful BP friends!

I'd love to help by sending over my investor friendly PMs, lenders, GCs, etc.
