Hey Graham,I've been watching the Philly market pretty closely...it always has its unique ebb and flow.

This is  actually a very interesting post at a unique time.

Perhaps not the best example, but  what you are doing is no different than a medical patient who walks into 6 doctors offices with a broken finger asking to be treated with radiation.

Traveling professors and medical professionals would probably be my target avatars.I am biased though toward MTR as a strategy, and it's not without risk to spend a couple grand converting an empty LTR into an MTR, so consider all of your options carefully.

Every business is unique, so the decision should be based on your specific needs and risk profile.Before making the switch, consult with your insurance broker to ensure that a program-based approach is right for you.

There are some creative financing options and unique properties that might align well with your goals.I'd love to grab a coffe sometime and hear more about what you're looking to achieve if you are ever in the Phoenix area.  

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.

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 love purchasing hillside homes due to their uniqueness and I've done well with them.

They are unique in the fact that the development is completely vertically integrated project in which they do everything from manufacturing the building materials to manage your property.
