I feel as if the regulatory conditions around Disney and overall vacation or traffic make them safer short-term rental investments.

Time of year can play a part in a property being slow to rent, but it still shouldn't take months to lease if the property manager is actively reviewing the traffic and feedback on the listing each week with you.

Traffic to JBLM seems reasonable from there.

If its a older style home even the wood floors without a poly overcoat,   just blend in the stain on high traffic areas looks better than carpet. 

My thought process is that if I have to deal with the traffic I should make some money off of it at least. 

This will at least start attracting traffic.

-Hold open houses to get traffic.

If they didn't, for instance, using their security deposit for their last month, I will be asking the current Landlord for that info but then I also need to see the Oct. 2018 payment.There are always enough traffic for my apts that getting this info from someone means that if they don't provide it, I will not take the chance to rent to them.

Wear on a carpet in a doorway caused by foot traffic through the doorway.I agree with Frank.

Find a rental property in a high traffic area and discuss terms with a landlord who will allow you to AirBNB the property.
