We have 36 STR stays under our belts and in some cases left the properties in better shape than we found them since I'm a clean nut.

Real estate investing can be a tough nut to crack, especially with high expectations for returns.

Coeur d'Alene River runs through there too which is well known for it's fly fishing, which also brings quite a lot of tourism.

My advice on situations like this if you are a small fish stay in your own back yard plenty of good deals .That way you can keep track of all the stuff that needs your attention fill in the blank ___.BIG fish well the whole  USA can be played they have the team in place to do a long distance rent ,rehab etc...

That’s just nuts.

A lot more sharks than fish out there 

Put more down on properites (very anti a lot of advice you get on here) to keep your monthly nut down.

So figure this, I made $200K in appreciation just sleeping in my apartment, but have to drive myself nuts to Philly, or have to deal with a PM.

Even if inflation were 0% 4 months it would still be above 2%.It will probably drop in February below 3% and people will cheer (read it first hear everyone will go nuts and say here goes housing….)then in March it will go back up above 3% - why?

Expect to fish.
