One example is that short-term rentals are more of a hospitality business then a property investment.I'm guessing there is more to your comment, but just investing in markets because they are "decently priced," may not get you closer to where you want to go. 2 of my first investment properties were very "decently priced," and had great annual % returns, only to cost me money to sell 18 years after purchasing them (no appreciation on values of rents and required fix-up to sell,, etc). ....Although, they contributed to my education, they did not directly assist in moving me toward my goals.There are many previous posts in BP (do a search) with good blueprints of how to get clear on your goals.
