I wrote this post that lists out several midterm rental alternatives to Furnished Finder https://rotatingroom.com/blog/2024/07/15/what-are-alternatives-to-furnished-finder/

Given that there are two ways to grow your business, organically, posting here and on social media, I for instance have a blog, now both in my experience and talking with people who have or had tried to build that way, it’s wayyyyy harder now than before, interest in real estate is way down, I know a few people with pretty large YouTube following’s views are way down.

Dave Meyer- from bigger pockets wrote and interesting blog a few years ago about the 1% rule being deal. https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/1-percent-rule-deadIt's pretty fascinating.

It is filled with resources and a plethora of knowledgeThanks for joining.I wish you all the best in your real estate journey.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/think-like-a-real-estate-...I wish you all the best in your real estate journey.

He even wrote a guest post for my blog about this topic, and would absolutely be a good resource for you!

I wrote an article a while back on out of state investing I think you might find helpful: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/2014-12-23-investing-out-...

https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/short-term-rental-loans-a...Also - PS on the advice regarding getting a vacation home loan - if this is referrring to the conventional 2nd Home / Vacation Home Loan (10% Down Loan) - I'd be very careful here, these are not supposed to be for STR investment properties (you are required to rent it out no more than half the year, not utilize prop management, ec.) - which doesn't sound like your plans for this investment

I think this is generally true (in fact I wrote an article saying the same thing a year and a half ago and so far it's been correct: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/this-housing-market-isnt-...)I don't think it's going to be good though.
