This could potentially mean a better deal for you and higher cash flow in the long run.

some of the peripheral questions @Jack B. is asking:-optimizing your portfolio - potentially selling off either low performing or high appreciating assets, and-diversification into other asset classes?

Ideally these properties will have positive cash flow + buy and hold potential (probably goes without saying). 

When considering potential tenants, it is important to have a clear and consistent policy in place regarding credit scores and other factors.

Louis as a high-potential market.

What tax benefits might you receive that could potentially offset some of your tax burden with such high income?

Quote from @Carlos Ptriawan: you know what's funny, even when using direct booking (eg: from the PM), the potential renter is still has too choose from 30 different houses or even more.it's just not worthed, I also never type "hilton.com" or "hyatt" when booking i always search for "hotels" or "hotwire" , and that's it.for buyer/renter it is about aggregated experience....Sounds like we're on the same page.  

You can look to a bit higher risk areas for more appreciation potential while coming closer to cash flowing today.

However, most of the work involved involves searching for off-market raw land with development potential, finding the owner and seeing if they're willing to sell.
