I'm from Louisville KY and traveled to Bloomington for a Big Box company as a trainer.

We cater to families and groups traveling for the lake and the bike trails so we designed based on those demographics.

Hi Jack, there's a lot of old stock - I've traveled there and seen it myself, but word is out of Syracuse and it has shown up in various BP "lists" over the past 12 months as well.

STR is a bit weird because the Covid travel demand pushed the price hardcore for the last few years. 

What the local shop has, is what you get, unless you want to travel farther to see what else others have.

Deduct mortgage interest, property taxes, travel, and operational expenses.

I'm sure there will be others with their own (and possibly conflicting) opinions, but for question #1, I always advise my clients to focus on properties in areas that 1) they currently (or previous) live in/near, 2) they travel to frequently, or 3) they have family/friends in the area.For question #2, the answer is going to depend on what you do for #1.

I'm looking for someone is willing to spend time with me and maybe teach/talk/travel around the city some.

Also, to track spending habits - just had a prospect withdraw their application when we asked why they were spending half their income on gambling websites.

Managing five rentals can eat up a ton of time in any given week, often at times that are inconvenient to you and your personal interests (family, hobbies, travel, etc.).Of course you can manage on your own.
