But if you’re looking for a free alternative, county property records can work but take more time.

Alternatives? 

I understand (mostly from this thread) they are generally higher fees and low(er) returns vs other 1031 alternatives.

This is particularly beneficial in popular tourist areas where demand for short-term lodging is high.Flexibility: Owners can choose when to rent their property, allowing them to use it personally during off-peak times.Support for Local Tourism: STRs provide a unique lodging option for tourists, helping to boost the local economy by attracting visitors who may prefer a home-like stay over traditional hotels.Diversification for Investors: STRs provide real estate investors with an additional income stream, especially if they own properties in tourist-heavy areas.Cons:Strict Regulations and Higher Fees: San Antonio recently updated its STR regulations.

I have seen these appreciate very well given that they are the alternative for those who cannot afford a 3 bedroom home.

Despite its popularity, very few actually understand the asset class and how to achieve optimal returns.

But they are not very popular and usually for larger properties.

MTR seem like a great alternative there, especially with so much demand for flexible stays.

The Hocking Hills is popular for short term rentals but is competitive.

Alternatively, does anyone know of a loan originator who can help me create my own friendly line of credit from one of my LLCs and record the liens?
