Good answer from @Kelly O'KeefeShort answer: the time you spend on a rental that meets IRS requirements to be considered and STR doesn't count toward REPS.  

G’Day BP folks,A fellow Toledo investor started a Facebook group revealing all local scammers.Mostly contractors.10+ years of investing in Toledo and stopped counting at $1m in losses.It’s just the nature of the beast and the cost of doing business in my eyes.Unfortunately, Toledo is notorious for bad operators and poor quality of workmanship in many industries.Maybe this group will help you not loose the same amount of cheese that I did $$$You’re welcome 😇 https://facebook.com/groups/786864700099337/

I've seen these more often than I care to count.

Disney World area in Florida is still viable in certain segments, larger bedroom counts with heavy theming still do really well.

What's great about using your 401k is that the payment wont count against your monthly liabilities so it wont affect your borrowing power for a larger mortgage.
