So my current opinion is they aren't worth it.

I’m currently invested in the Ormond Beach 272 property and so far I’ve had a wonderful experience. 

I am currently renting but I like the idea of house hacking to start out.

i will say depends of you current rent and cash flow .

Many of our clients that are looking at STR are also looking at MTR as Charlotte is currently top 20 in the country for traveling medical professional demand (furnishedfinders), and we are currently one of the largest cities without a medical educational institution. 

We spent the last year remodeling the basement ourselves and currently have our first medium term renter (We fully furnished the unit to squeeze more rent out). 

I currently work for the US Coast Guard and will be moving to the Philadelphia area in June 2024 with my fiancee.

We are transitioning to nicer properties, but a few years ago I likely would have jumped at this offer (and I may still purchase it even though it is not my current buy criteria).  

I currently have an interest rate of 10% from Live Oak Bank.

I can pay for all my problems using the cash flow from my current rentals.
