Still sleeps 8 but will allow you two families. secondly and more importantly make sure your bathrooms match sleeping rooms, this is a deal breaker on all str that we purchase and has been proven time and again. 3 bed needs to be 3 bath thank you for the great thoughts. 3 bathroom or 2.5 bathroom is rare in this part of california unless it's a bigger house, like 4+ bedrooms. it's an important thing to note, tho: i hadn't thought of that, but if i offer to sleep 8 instead of six, yes, 2 bathrooms is not great. thank you for the insight! 

I have experienced cash flow anywhere from 10-18% with so much more to offer.

Also if this is a good strategy do DSTs offer this type of investment and if so any recommendations. 

This approach puts me in competition with smaller, local investors rather than in oversaturated tourist-heavy markets, offering a better ROI. 

I've studied 100s of offerings, probably 300 or more. 

@Brian Berry if you have no one in town to assist, then for this one you probably need to go and check it out.

@Ryan Holtz the Midwest offers many cities that will lead to cashflow on a purchase with 20-2% down.The challenge is YOU understanding the differences between Class A, B & C, so you invest wisely and your expectations are met.You'll probably want to target Class B or C for cashflow, but make SURE you understand the pro & con differences.

For example, the costs to obtain the mortgage are typically amortized over the life of the loan.Real estate also offers expenses that do not involve cash coming out of your pocket. 

On top of that, you'll have your own dedicated unit which will offer more privacy compared to sharing a single-family home with tenants.

I'm working alone here on the money side, as the beneficiaries are minors/youths that can't really assist financially.Appreciate any suggestions!
