Heard through a friend as potential for cash flow even with current rates and growth potential due to proximity to TX north border, casinos etc.   

There are companies that are vertically integrated specialized for helping investors who don't have the time nor the effort to spend sourcing deals, managing contractors, finding residents and managing.

We have found several fake applicants so far this year on the north side chicago rentals, especially the higher end units with multiple bedrooms.

@Beck DeYoung Not sure where all you’re looking north of Boston but you may have to look further out.

I'm Jaden Rodriguez, i'm 22 years old, originally from Florida, and I recently moved to North Carolina to be closer to family and pursue investment opportunities.

For that reason, I decided to start flying to/visiting states like North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Missouri, etc. 

I'm currently looking a little further north.

@William SilvaInvesting in states like North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio, or South Carolina offers a mix of long-term and short-term rental markets.

Our property management company is based out of New Brunswick, we see a lot of success with rentals around Middlesex County and they're more affordable to buy vs North NJ. 

I did STR in a duplex starting back in 2017 and managed for others in North Conway, Ive since converted to all long term tenants and happy i did so... unless your property has something unique or a "rare" amenity.... like, sleeps 30, I honestly would not waste any energy on it in the north Conway area. so saturated, and so much big money being invested in the hotels, its tough to match amenities vs cost, and I see travelers trending back towards the hotel style accommodations. granted, for the right price, I'd buy anything and figure out what the best use for it is. use airdna.co for decent data on # of Short term rentals in any particular market. can also identify opportunities. the point of my response.... be careful in STR in any area and always have a plan B. you can change a lot of things about a property, but your cant change your basis!
