Add on top all of the Californians getting out of there and moving this way too, we'll see growth over the next 3-5 years+

I guess my only other option is to add padlocks onto the cash boxes on top of the regular keyed entry.

BiggerPockets is a great place to find featured agents experienced with long-term rental investments—they can guide you to cash-flowing properties and connect you with resources like contractors and property managers.

Looking to STR top floor lofts and furnish 10 units as MTR.

To remedy that, the carpets should be ripped up and sealant applied to the subfloor, at minimum.There are also tiles in the smaller upstairs bathroom that are lifting up and creating a safety hazard; putting a rug on top is not a sufficient solution.The house is in a condition that materially interferes with the health of household members.

I'd be happy to help and have nothing to sell if you think that I can be a resource.

Thanks, Matt, for the resources!

You won't know everything you'll need to up front, but if you surround yourself with resources and tools, you'll find the answers you need when you need them.You're doing the right thing by building your network now, attending meetups and posting here! 

I am responding as a consumer not a STR owner we had one its lasted for us for exactly one tenant then we felt it was too much work for the return  on investment we do much better loaning money and buidling new homes than to worry about people goofing up our homes :)I do have some MTR you know fully furnished homes in Vegas and those are money makers for us top of the line tneants paying double the going rate for rent.

In Columbus, you can still find the 1% rule and there's amazing appreciation potential due to how much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing there (recently Anduril just announced another 4,000 jobs coming to Columbus Ohio on top of Intel, Google, Amazon, FB, Nationwide, Ohio State University, etc.).
