The second of two homes I bought when I sold the rental, I would have bought a more expensive one as the one I got was close to the university and tended to attract students which had higher turn over (though it may also be my local market).I'd also look up how to do a 1031 (I think that is what it's called, I'm not in the US) where you defer capital gains taxes on rentals by buying another within a set period of time.

**Privy** tends to offer strong MLS data, **Propwire** focuses on off-market properties, and **Backflip** specializes in investor-focused analysis.

We’ve faced similar challenges with larger homes, as most traveling healthcare professionals tend to travel alone or with one other person.

They've got these city-specific groups where investors from all over the place come together to share the best vendors, suppliers, and trustworthy contractors in the area.

Affordability is about 1:3So yeah on the surface it looks like a big difference, but there's a lot of things not controlled for in the stats- There were a crazy amount of houses built in the years just after the war, so housing stock was easy to come by everywhere;- Homes had nowhere near the kind of features they have now - 2 car garages, dishwashers, OTC microwaves, W/D hookups, high efficiency windows, central heat & air conditioning, etc - all those doodads and niceties drive up the cost of housing;- Fewer mortgages were 30 year, so homeowners had to pay (relatively) higher monthly payments;- Rentals were almost exclusively apartments, so there was more supply for buyers;ETCI think these things tend to be more stories that make for good press but aren't really that grounded in reality overall.

For one, the rental income tends to be lower than with short-term stays due to the necessary discounts, yet we still face most of the usual costs, aside from savings on cleaning and supplies.

I tend to have an easier/faster time renting my 2 bedroom units than the larger ones. 

I tend to think about it a little differently.

Just be mindful the reverse exchanges tend to be more expensive than a traditional 1031 exchange.

You would want to check local zoning to make sure you could build more than one as a lot goes into that beyond just being close to plumbing, electric, and gas.When you mention "a lot goes into that beyond just being close to plumbing, electric, and gas," what are the top things people tend to overlook when preparing to build ADUs?
