So I would suggest keeping your STR property geographically close and doing as much as possible to keep your profit% high as possible.As far as the actual house you use, I would just say - be honest, be fair and strive for the best area, most amenities, cleanest house, best communication, and any other extras you can get.

i had a lot of success with direct mail and actually a fair amount with email. 

Fortunately our remedy was fairly simple, large floor fans and new ceiling tiles but it was a massive inconvenience and the damage would likely be much worse if it repeated in units in other places.

Quote from @Edreco Amosco Amosco Amos: Hello BP community,I am fairly new to real estate.

We certainly haven't ruled out investing in Wisconsin, but we have friends and family that live in both CLE and CBUS, so we travel to those markets fairly often.

However, for major issues, STR insurance ensures you're fully covered.

Price fair, don't get greedy, play the long game.

@Nathan Gesner Yes, I'm fairly confident if we were to hold long term, we'll do just fine. 

Now taht real estate has gone back to the good ole days of not being an appreciation machine and a good investor needs sound fundamentals in managing and overseeing the properties - now you are given the wave of "creative finance" which comes off as its easy to get a home but it will be interesting to see how these people are fairing in a few years of mismanagement of these assets. 

It's frustrating, but I wanted to pass along the message to ensure this phrase is in your leases if you have items on your property.
