Choosing an STR-friendly area can save you significant hassle and protect your investment in the long run.

Friendly reminder to anyone else reading to carefully review your PMA before you sign it and before you decide to change property management companies.  

Friends pointed it out to us How did you finance this deal?

Every Week I scan the MLS, navigating cities and towns in South Florida that are friendly (and not friendly) toward short term rentals.

Thanks friends!

While I often “trade” properties, a friend of mine is a buy and hold guy.  

Self-proclaimed Section 8 guru's online claim to do the latter and then find Property Managers after they purchase the property in whatever state, but I don't know how real that is.I'm a big believer in purchasing in a landlord friendly state.

Of course it isn't going to work for everyone...then again, I also have many friends with degree's that cost them 6 digits that cannot get a job in their field!

The trend is your friend.

When the housing market became seller friendly, I unloaded 5/6 of our long term rental units, paid off our house with that and invested in stocks and mutual funds…completely no fun, right??
