Clearwater and Tampa are hot STR markets for sure  

I live in Los Angeles County and there are a lot of laws protecting the renters.

It started with the "heartbreaking" single family houses, full of run down yards, overgrown trees, ceramic sewer pipes, leaking galvanized water pipes and Cochroaches throughout.

I know there are a BUNCH of out-of-state STR/MTR PMs that will manage properties remotely and I'm definitely not looking for anyone non-local.Hi Kimberly, I have both and live outside of Canton. 

I live in Texas, so info on San Diego STR rules is very valuable.

I have lived in these 2 small Markets my entire life.

Where I live it is about 30 days.  30 months is a long time to go without rent....and if 30 months is average, then that means some might be 40 months. 

If you don't have a 70,000,000 SF+ industrial market size near it'll be hard to really specialize in just that and make a strong living.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Josh MyrickYou technically can but if you start the non profit typically you cannot be an employee or make $ from it, and profits should be reinvested in more housing.If your goal was to profit in any way, the answer is no  Yea, the goal is no profit or it be reinvested in more housing or improving the current rentals for better living conditions for tenants.

Each person’s core values are unique and shape how we live our lives and make decisions.
