I had this mindset, but have found that traveling medical professionals need furnished rooms and are able to pay a higher premium because of their stipend.

In other words, like if I travel due to work or life, I have a place to live in both.I’m open to suggestions (and criticism).

Our goals are to create a monthly cash flow that will allow us the freedom to travel around the world and invest in our retirement.

Studios are popular for Air BNB but also for other short term tenants such as traveling hospital workers.

I travel a lot for work so I’m not tied down to a single location.

Also, if we did an owner occupied and decided to travel for a few months or be digital nomads, is it okay to rent out that unit temporarily, assuming we aren't applying for another primary residence mortgageThanks!!!

Traveling workers are better than people on vacation. 

In my experience if any encumbrances aren't travelling with the RE, you should be OK.

I travelled to Myrtle multiple times a year to golf with friends.

If you are already traveling to Tampa a few times per year and you plan to continue doing so - you may be able to turn those trips into business trips which would allow you to deduct the travel expenses from your income.
