If it's freedom and unlimited growth you want learn to manage the people that manage your business.

The purpose of investing is to produce freedom, so don't give up what little stress freedom you have right now...

@Jaquetta Turner I think if you compared the 10-14% for property management(for everything) to traveling there 4 to 5 times a year (as in the case above) + the stress of managing, the management would be cheaper and give your more time-freedom.

I'm guessing owners fall in a couple buckets:- Don't automate and can't handle the repetitive tasks of more than a few rentals (probably not most of the pros here)- Buy several STRs, achieve financial freedom, and are content to stabilize the properties and cashflow- Focus on new revenue streams outside of STRIs there any reason not to scale STRs like LTRs?

My long term goals include financial freedom, time freedom, and the ability to help my family and then contribute to a charity or start my own. 

Between the equity and opportunities to raise rents it has create financial freedom for us. 

Instead of a 10 year plan, there is a very good chance you can reach your financial freedom in 5 years or less.Cheers to your success!
