This will replace all of my W-2 income and I can travel to my STR.  

I am a nurse and my husband is a pilot and our plan is to start househacking within the next few months by hosting travel nurses. 

Looking for any insight on good areas to look in, up and coming, has good rental potential, safe, easily accessible and travel times to shopping, restaurants, etc are reasonable.

Having a rental property could allow you to deduct your travel expenses to/from the area. 

I travel quite often for work (6-8 months out of the year).

We have some short term rentals and are new travel nurses.

This goal will enable our family to have a secure retirement plan, college (or business startup) funds and long term passive income to vacation and travel whenever we would like."

For a 4-plex condominium complex, I was paying $144/year per unit in 2019, now I am getting quotes that are $550/year per unit for identical units in same complex.2) Insurance providers such as State Farm have stopped taking new customers for landlord insurance, and companies such as Travellers have set limits of no more than 10 units per landlord.Has anyone else faced a similar situation?

Considering VRBO in Saint Pete to give us an excuse to travel more and add to the portfolio.

You could do vacation or as others do here, check the STR threads, rent to traveling healthcare professionals.
