@Khaled Seirafi I've invested in several things in real estate: residential, commercial, small multifamily, mobile home parks, short term rentals, co-living (rent by the room) and I just bought an assisted-living facility.

Quote from @Vince Scipione: Yes, they are a popular choice where I live and work, however with the ever fluctuating cost of oil heat, many people have swapped over their boilers/furnaces to what is called a "Propane Gun" essentially it is a device that is affixed to the front of the furnace/boiler that injects the propane and ignites it.

This isn't analyzing deals, this is just playing a video game.

We purchased it with the intention of living in the Ground floor + BSMT apartment and renting the 2nd floor apartment.

That was when I had enough, and decided to end the lease.He has been living month-to-month for some time now. 

My manger does this all the time.He has an inspection done to verify all the maintenance issue and has someone video the property to verify all the marketing issues.

So now I have both my personal residence and a leased property as STRs.Even though I live 3 hours away from my leased STR property, I've built a team that assists with managing it, so I don't have to be there all the time.Here are some key things I've learned:Regulations: Research the specific STR regulations in the state and city where you're looking to buy.

I would love to hear any suggestions about where I should look to live in the area. 

We have emails, video conferences, secure portals etc etc.We do have a physical office, and half of our clients are local.

@Michael Smythe the repairs were never completed while the tenant was living there.
