STRs also have the seasonal aspect to it for the winter time in COS and long term rentals are steady. 

Locally, I look forward to soon having my VA loan seasoned to refinance and fully rent out, and acquire another property. 

In Cleveland, they may pay a premium, but in MY neck of the woods, the max rent allowed is far below market.

The LTV ratio must be:75% or less, if the seasoning of the mortgage loan is between two and five years.80% or less, if the seasoning of the mortgage loan is greater than five years.Hope this helps! 

When did you buy, is it an area you're interested in continuing to invest in, how are bookings during the off-season, etc?

Any seasoned investors pls share your thoughts.

It is the most popular software in the industry, and most Tax Preparers are familiar with it, which makes tax season easier.

HOWEVER, very important to understand is that these 3 month seasoning products are VERY expensive.

Sale to sold ratio is 5:1 wow but price is flattening without reduction of seasonality ; basically this market is bought by in-migration from NYC/MA area pretty much, it's not an organic growth.
