We do not have much seasonality, but do have some minor peaks that occur in Fall during football season and Spring for University related travel. 

It’s just 7 miles from the beach, 2 miles from a large new hospital and medical campus, and within 2 miles of the county government offices.

@Dayana Castellon the only marketing that would make sense is marketing Airbnb & VRBO are NOT covering already.Maybe market directly to insurance companies looking for rentals for their clients needing temporary housing while their fire-damaged home is being repaired.Corporate travel departments might be another option.Hospitals with resident doctor programs.The challenge will be doing this marketing efficiently enough to make it worthwhile.

That's why my question was to go ahead all over the USA to see people's suggestions for better locations.The fact that you don't think it's silly to ask a forum to recommend any place in the United States for STR and expect to get answers from people without a funnel to sell you something is silly.Jersey City and surrounding is very good for MTR opportunities because of the proximity to NYC and since you are in residency, you would be MUCH safer focusing on MTR since you have an in to other medical professionals.

I priced it only about 14% higher than the long term rental which matches traveling health professionals' budget on Furnished Finder.So I'm leaning toward longer term rental because even if I secure midterm tenant, that 14% more isn't really worth the potential vacancy. 

We, like many investors would just like the financial burden to be somewhat lifted off our shoulders and to not feel so tied down to our jobs but have the option to come and go as we please or are needed and to spend more time traveling with our family!

@Jonathan Greene I’m traveling for work this week, but I’d like to get looped in on this. 

We are well visited for our 3 tier 1 universities, the research triangle park, travelling educators and nurses, and students.

People search on social media where to travel long before they would on the OTA platforms!

Are there areas you do not want to invest in because of travel time, lack of a network, or other life factors?
