If it is more residential, your options open up a bit.

If you choose this option, remember that you may not have time to view the home before you make a bid.

I believe there are limited options as a non-accredited investor.

As a general rule, it seems that places that were vacation destinations before OTAs are better represented on VRBO, while mid- and large-cities tend to have more options on AirBnb.

I will consider this and focus on other options to buy Real Estate. 

Venting a dryer can be a PITA if you want to put it somewhere else, but draining a washing machine is just as tough so...there ya go.Either way, it is a nice option for those squeezing into a small closet somewhere in their cabin.Yale Appliance is one of the largest appliance retailers in Boston.

I say you don't need to consider security cameras (or even trail cameras)- but you could put fake ones out or if you had wifi on site o(r wanted to go the sim card/monthly route), that's not an expensive option either.

I hadn’t considered that option 

Another option is to consider properties that need some work but have good potential for value appreciation, as these might be less expensive and provide a better cash flow once renovated. 

So house hacking isn't really an option for me either.
