MTR attracts a lot of traveling medical professionals and WFH individuals who need a quiet space during the day, which may not be compatible with families living in the attached LTR.

I live in NYC and started investing in Buffalo a few years back, mainly for the reasons that you mentioned. 

The property has an amazing creek canyon (attached photo) is 5 miles from all the major attractions to Yosemite, and 7 miles from a lake.

But that also depends on your down payment- putting only around 20-25% down is hard to have a profitable STVR.Ultimately with STR v LTR, I'd be mainly curious about your intended use of the property. 

To hit $1mm net equity in 5 years you have to approach from mainly an appreciation approach.  

You should have two main lessons learned from all this.First: Tenant screening.

We actually have our main meeting coming up on January 14 and a county meetup in Clermont the following week .

I mainly use FCI and Madison for the majority of my notes.

When all the dust settles, and the  person searching is tired and discouraged and gives up, Jerry may not have bought  a single lot, but he's made some money from the training he sold you, which was his main goal from the beginning!

I have actually been thinkin about cutting losses honestly, I am not sure this is the best investment I could have made as my first but worried about how much of a loss I would have to take.It is meant for S8 for sure, I would have a stringent application process, and give the neighborhood a C from my research.I invested there because it was the first deal that basically fell on my lap where the mentor works with agents that Seller Finance deals, it was only $3k down and had thought the proximity to St.Louis would be attractive to tenants also.I effed up on waiting to post for rent until after all repairs and the COO for sure.
