I understand Google continues to push into this space and disrupt the online travel agencies, so the landscape might be changing. 

I have someone interested in staying 8 weeks at my STR during my slow period for a traveling CNA position.

I STR my primary when I travel and have a STR in Tulsa, OK.🙌  make connections with other Airbnb strategy investors and gain the confidence to BRRR my first property with no previous construction experience 😅🤝  make a great connection with someone who is an expert in BRRR method 

I was thinking of changing my plan and looking somewhere closer where the travel distance to my job isn’t that much.

I would initially travel to the area for a couple weeks to meet and assemble a dependable team.

Kansas City has a strong medical presence so traveling medical professionals are always needing a place to stay.

But if you plan to travel back and forth, just make sure that the people you have working on your property are highly reputable and trustworthy.

If you want seek that golden lifestyle and looking for that hassle free life, perhaps renting that beautiful apartment and travelling to different countries would be ideal.
