I'm hearing more and more about certain areas banning STRs with little notice.Another option that may interest you is investing cash into a cash-flow oriented Reg-D fund, such as an oil and gas mineral rights fund.

Land in Louisiana bought at tax sale also carries full mineral right ownership (assuming no drilling in past ten years by former owner). 

Have you considered exchanging into a DST or selling and putting cash into a gas and mineral rights royalty fund?

I live in Mineral County, Montana on 38 acres that border Forest Service. 

For their rare earth minerals. 

I like Kyle's idea.Because of potential crypto miners and growers of 420, I put a clause in my lease regarding any modification of power, meter-jumping, etc gets them a $40,000 fine plus any criminal/civil charges. 

How to examine Land quality, soil/ mineral use, if land is in sink hole, liquefaction zone risk

If they don't respond, they loose their mineral rights. 

to give you guys a little more background on me without a 1st huge long winded post....i hold a BBA from Southern Methodist Universtity in Accounting and Finance as well as a Master of Science in Accounting and MIS.During and after my college years, I have always been involved with real estate as there is nothing else to do in Dallas besides own a restaurant or dig for oil and gas...I was even a securities broker for some time.speaking of which I have had experience in dealing with Mineral rights and Natural Gas exploration.I have worked for the "big name" real Estate companies here, and have learned what the big boys do and how to implement those strategies on a smaller scale.I just hope that I can provide you guys with some more insight not only to how do to stuff and the things to look out for...but to help you all understand all of the relationships and the variables that affect and effect them.KG

Or selling, paying the taxes, and investing into an oil and gas mineral rights royalty fund?
