@Reeti PeshawariaThis is a bit tricky to do since STR regulations are an emerging political topic so regulations are consistently shifting.

We are currently emerging them for Xmas in Malta.  

Now with 29 SFR, I don’t need much in emergency $ because the rentals generate 19k/month profit.

Somehow I think it's better to hold onto my own money and keep that dry powder on the sidelines waiting to get into the game if there are some emergency expenditures (haha, very likely with the kinds of deals I'm thinking about in class C neighborhoods).

Drop price $50 or $100 Wait 2-3 weeks and if no renter emerges drop it another $50-$100.

From using data to identify emerging markets to building tools that automate property analysis or management, your skills could really give you an edge.

My piece of advice would be to research emerging neighborhoods and focus on areas with strong job growth and infrastructure development.
