While you might use $100-$200 as a healthy goal for a LTR, several investors I know use $1000 per month as the BASELINE goal of a STR inclusive of all savings per month.

Fortunately, all of my personal and professional investments have yielded healthy returns, at least in part to strong initial evaluation and negotiation but they weren't all necessarily winners from inception or during transition. 

If you are still trying to achieve financial freedom and escape the rat race, then you may need to put in the time to self manage and keep that bottom line healthy, so you can reinvest in other assets. 

New construction prices have gone up 10-20% over the past 3-4 years, but existing construction is much more in line with a healthy national average under 5%.

And only buy and hold vacation/short-term rentals specifically.Commercial property is also profitable… depending on location.I personally was out there gathering information and documents regarding raw Oceanfront property (with permits in place for Hotel Casino and Resort), Acreage for agriculture development (Puerto Rico is blessed with very Fertile Soil), some shopping centers in urban areas and 2 private islands that a broker wants me to help him market here in the States.So HMU anyone that would like more info about Puerto Rico.

You can do this by diving in data from places like Redfin or you can approach it a bit more simply by pulling up the map on Zillow and looking to find markets where there is a healthy balance of Sold Properties to For Sale Properties.

In fact the readjustment of prices in the Bozeman market during that time was healthy, compared with wat happened to the rest of the country, and we rebounded very quickly.In 2008, Housing Predictor Montana Rankings had five Montana cities in the top 25 and two within the top 10 (you may recall that in January 2009, Billings ranked 3rd and Bozeman ranked 9th, placing both cities in the top 10 for US home values appreciation in 2009).Pertaining to Montana real estate prices for 2010, Housing Forecaster had Montana real estate prices dropping an average of 2.5% across Montana, with its top four cities all posting declines: Billings down 4.2%, Great Falls declining 3.6%, Missoula dropping 3.1%, and Bozeman down 2.3%. 

Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy during these crazy times.Cheers,Ming

This would be the case in any (healthy) market so I wasn't giving any opinion about the market there and I wasn't even being negative.
