Personally, I find BTRs to be more predictable with fewer ongoing maintenance issues, and they tend to attract high-quality tenants.

Personally, if I were to sell the stock, I would buy more property, not pay off the existing one. 

.- cannot force exit- cannot force to open books- have to pay legal costs for Grocapitus if they ever take action- are indemnifying Grocapitus against false statements.

I personally have a separate account for each property I own.

I’m not a “people person” so they handle screening.

So now I have both my personal residence and a leased property as STRs.Even though I live 3 hours away from my leased STR property, I've built a team that assists with managing it, so I don't have to be there all the time.Here are some key things I've learned:Regulations: Research the specific STR regulations in the state and city where you're looking to buy.

I do have an agent I know personally but she's only in the area at certain times of the year.Section 8 would be better than nothing.

Fewer still actually show-up to deliver the value in-person.
