If you’re looking for a long-term fix, go for a more robust approach.

My mother is a RE agent back home in California (30+ years), I have one rental property in Virginia Beach, and I'm mostly interested in BRRRRs, flips, and long/medium-term multifamily properties.

If I do this on my own, how would someone show a home long distance. 

Hey @Justin Brown, what @John Underwood said is spot on.SLC has been restricting STRs for a long while now and it isn't going to get better.People who have STRs in areas where they are not allowed are breaking the law and will eventually pay the price.Having said that, you should check and see if there are certain areas where it is allowed in some way and that is why they exist there.

Since bathrooms are relatively small, using some unique tiles and fixtures won’t break the bank and will go a long way with buyers.3.

Hi Anthony, what's your biggest priority - cashflow or long-term appreciation? 

Unique pieces are great for "Flair" and individuating your property but if it fits in a suitcase and isn't fixed to the wall or floor then it will not be long for your STR.

you'll probably still need something long term like software as others have suggested but this was a thought i had... you could see the actual profit or loss from a tax perspective for each property.

Our bank will let us use equity that exceeds 25% across multiple properties that are either owned free and clear or where they hold the first so long as the deal still cash flows with however much cash is brought to the table.

But I'm getting substantial pushback from family exactly for being on-call like that for so long.
