While rental demand is going down, there continue to be more people purchasing properties for personal use in turn causing there to be an overall shortage of rental units available in season.

STR and MTR investing is a different animal all together taking you from housing to hospitality and requires more of a time suck than many initially realize. i personally only do long term rentals and students. i do have a property in mind and making the connections to transition it into a sober living home. excited to see how that shakes out.

.- Continual market analysis to keep your prices neither too high or too low- For software, you'll need a PMS, some system for tracking operations tasks (we use Breezeway), communications tools for internal and external (we use Slack and OpenPhone, respectively)- The decision to self manage or outsource is a very personal one.

If someone injures themselves and sues, they will be suing the LLC and not you personally.
