For an appreciation play I think it's still a very strong market (probably the strongest of those mentioned), but if you're looking for immediate turn-key cash flow you can probably strike it off the list.

@Bradley Strong II, welcome to the BP community and STR game!

Hopefully it is bringing you some strong cash flow.

If you have a strong team of folks near the property (ie. handyman, HVAC repair, plumber, etc.) then yes, it can be managed remote.

I am certain that we can find something local that can work, it may depend on if you have specific criteria you need for bedrooms and location.Generally though, if you don't have a strong financial position, most people opt for cash flow first.

Many of the money-greats have been adamantly against diversifying because they wanted to focus their efforts into one arena, or just a few strong channels.

Also, taxes can be $3,500 for one building and $5,800 for a similar building turning a strong cash flowing property into a base hit.

I dealt with in the Boston rental market during December - February even though Boston is notorious for being a strong market.

That will affect your current ability to attract quality renters or receive strong reviews following their stay if made into a STR. 

I recommend you build a strong foundational understanding of real estate investing.1.
