Make sure to thoroughly review the reports, including eviction history and criminal records, to protect your investment.

You are reading books, but not interacting with real estate investors at meetups which is why both things you said don't make any sense.

First, are you sure its a zoning variance you need and not merely a use permit? 

I found the strategy to be less intensive than short-term rentals, but still challenging at times because there is more turn-over than long-term rentals.We make roughly 20% more on average in rental income with in being a Mid-term rental.My advice for picking a strategy is just to pick ONE and go ALL IN on that, so you can scale it. 

A year or two feels very long in the moment, but it can make a huge difference. 

Anyone know where I can find it?

The report makes a big deal about the neighborhood and local economy in addition to the property itself.

See what they have to say and if they have data you can review!

Hey Karl, @Karl SzymanskiI can definitely understand the temptation to do something close to home, but it likely will depend on whether you are planning to manage these properties yourself (which I personally, wouldn't since you are simply just buying yourself a new job) and where the best forecasted ROI is at.
