(Yes, sadly, a ton of activist judges like that exist nowadays- at least in my area).

The real drive for us to buy a STR in central/western MN area like Fergus Falls is that my wife and I want to get a property that will cashflow well first, and will also be close to our family, closer to the MN/ND border - so Fergus Falls is the biggest area closest to that.I definitely noticed as I reviewed the other listings on AirBnB that most of them are lake cabins, east of Fergus Falls in the lakes area, but I wasn't sure whether I should interpret that as that's where most of the consumer interest is, or if the immediate Fergus area was just less developed.I live in the Lansing, MI area, so we've got some decent LTR properties available here, and I think I'm going to be focusing on STRs first, both in Lansing, MI and in the Fergus Falls/Lakes Area of MN, and then look to add LTRs after that.I'll DM both of you for more info - I appreciate it!

What else I love is it's central proximity to the rest of the Western US. 

Not sure what the threshold is, but if you're over a certain amount spent for rehabbing a property you're required to raise the house if you're in the flood zone, which most of Poquoson is unless you're in the far western part.

I live in Western Mass and am looking to begin my investment journey.

I've owned 4 of my own houses and done well on all of them, but this Western WA market is hard to nail down.  

My team and I specialize in short term rentals here in Western NC and I would love to connect with you.
