I personally don't like STR's because they are more of a business than an investment(in my opinion).You didn't mention the amount of hours that you and your spouse work but I would have to assume it be between 1900 to 2200 hours assuming you work 48 weeks and between 40 to 50 hours a week.If you buy a STR and self-manage it, you are added 200-300 hours per year in additional work making your life more stressful and less time to do things that you enjoy.Best of luck. 

If you can't keep control of your personal finances, you are highly unlikely to succeed in real estate investing.

That sounds like a well-considered plan, and visiting in person is a great first step.

Thanks Dan I am emailing in PM
