Grand total of 9k of potential rent from this property.

I can say that self-managing a STR from afar is beyond me (no experience as a property manager) so that would eat into cash flow. 

Needed a place so we bought this property, updated it, then moved out after 2 years.

Some other things to consider would be liability insurance, max occupancy in the property, staffing.Any insight would be appreciated!

(We did put an offer down on a property that was just outside of Brown County but lost out on that one.) 

My question for investors: What is your protocol when entering one of these properties? 

I am open to any place on the northern side of California/Oregon or Washington, However, I am also open to any other states if I could manage the property remotely.

We try so hard to make our properties wonderful and somehow they will still find BS.

I’d also recommend connecting with property managers.

Sounds like you have a good understanding of the strategy.I normally work with clients by giving them a price range of a property they need to buy to get to their desired tax bracket.Best of luck.
