@Jacob Daniels, I don't think the hold period is going to trip you up. 

Then you can start throwing money at the principal, saving for the next down payment, or planning the Hawaii trip.

I currently have 2 places in Florida and text my cleaners every time we get a booking, and also if someone cancels or extends a trip.

I'm actually planning a trip there in about two weeks to check on potential properties.

In my STR market (Galveston TX), folks sometimes offer ghost tours or art walks to add to one’s trip.

When I lived there I loved going on road trips up that way.

seemed to do the trick, but I wasn't sure until I went on a one-week trip in late spring.

Trips and falls are huge exposures to landlords in the northeast and often result in substantial claims.

Someone just posted a question about Trip Advisor and mentioned they had STR in Mexico.

@Valentina Naumenko I'd be interested in touching base with you about your property management strategy out there, particularly as we are investigating neighborhoods and types of units that fit our budget and are known to us from our various trips there.
