The title company itself has lawyers and people who make sure you are covered in the legal aspects.

Are they soliciting feedback from showings to understand why people are not interested?

The mortgage business is notoriously difficult, investor and lender guidelines (bank rules) are complex and vary among investors, generally speaking, brokers are not lending their own capital and the liaison on concierge gate keeper. 

My advice is to connect with right people.

Being that competition is big, it no longer makes sense the numbers that have to be offered in order to get the deal.I’m looking in to shifting to out of state and I’m open to be on site pretty often by hopping on to a flight.I’m debating between markets in TX and Ohio but in the same time willing to hear that I’m completely off between these 2 states or that their are better.I am looking for places where population is growing, prices are not too high, landlord friendly, rent are above $1200 for 2BR, big businesses and jobs and a very big focus by me is to be in a safe area.I would appreciate if I can get some honest opinions on this.

As far as a second/vacation home and STR would you consider MTR to travel nurses/business people?  

I wonder if Newsom even realizes how much pain he causes landlords; if the laws were fairly balanced for both tenant and landlord, most people would be happy.

While starting off with this strategy you could also be studying more about value-add options and start attending meetups in your area to get an idea of what other people are doing. 

I think people think of daily and even weekly rentals as truly transient renters, whereas monthly and annual rentals as being more resident based.That said I have seen 14 day minimums and 3 month minimums as well so while by and large monthly and annual terms are common they are not all inclusive.

I personally don't like STR's because they are more of a business than an investment(in my opinion).You didn't mention the amount of hours that you and your spouse work but I would have to assume it be between 1900 to 2200 hours assuming you work 48 weeks and between 40 to 50 hours a week.If you buy a STR and self-manage it, you are added 200-300 hours per year in additional work making your life more stressful and less time to do things that you enjoy.Best of luck.
