I wouldn’t mind moving to another city that’s relatively close ( 30-40min) . 

Starting with the Right PropertyGiven that this is your first STR and you’re planning to manage remotely, I’d suggest focusing on a market with a strong local infrastructure for short-term rentals—like Panama City Beach or Destin.

I'll also check with the city on any potential liens, I think any inspection would have to be done after my $15k deposit so it would be a high risk, high potential reward type deal, and there is a 15+ bids already.

Hi Kendric, Ohio, and other midwest cities are good choices for low-price entry.

Cities like these offer untapped potential without the intense competition found in larger metros.3.

I have lived in Wisconsin and upstate New York in the past and have a decent amount of knowledge of those areas — but obviously need help.

I got a call from the Warren City hall and they reported pipes bursting and the whole driveway is flooded on initial reports.

However, in some cities, getting work permits is difficult and slow so it can really hurt the investors' timeline through no fault of their own.

One year many pipes froze in our city, including one of our rentals and our personal residence. 

IF the City does not limit to four total, there is a scenario where the City MAY allow up to 10 total units on single family zoned parcel
