I've had issues with this tenant in the past, as discussed in a previous post.Currently, I'm concerned that my tenant might have a drug problem, as he seems to never sleep.

I almost typed "independently" but there is a nuance stopping me from that, the very issue we're discussing.If the two of you do not have other STRs, as seems to be the case, you only have this one STR to draw the required hours from. 3 material participation tests to try:1.

There are specific cities/areas that seem more promising than others (such as Orlando, Jacksonville in FL, and Midland/Odessa, College Station in TX) but I'm finding it hard to pick one market to then resume my search for the right neighborhood and specific property.

I've been looking at AIRDNA and it seems like it could work if we get the right property at the right cost. 

Seems like all the more reason a trustee's deed would be issued.

After 2 weeks of forms and all kinds of little add ons to the fee schedule that magically seemed to appear with each new form packet, my wife and I simply told them no thanks..we were tired of the games.

We open support cases with everyone and that seems to work best when all sides are looking into things. 

We’re not sure of this deal is going to be able to close without our seller as the official owner, but there seems to be no other option.

Considering your situation, holding onto your current duplex with its strong cash flow and exploring refinancing later when market conditions are more favorable and you have built up more equity seems advisable.

I think this could be for a variety of reasons but likely has to do with the fact that remote work seems as though it is here to stay allowing for more digital nomads, professionals to live/move cities more easily or even just "check out" a new location for a few months.Couple of key takeaways:-Casting a wide net and not focusing only on traveling nurses for example-Knowing your market and target clientele-MTRs are ideal for corporate travelers -How you operate your MTR is key to success (responsiveness to request, amenities, etc)-Protect yourself with a security deposit and ensure your lease fits your property/marketArticle: https://www.azibo.com/blog/mid-term-rentals-pros-and-cons-fo...Curious on everyone's thoughts on this article and overall market trends!
