The only challenge is that I’d probably need to hire someone to manage it while I’m not there if I do an STR, right ?  

Challenges?

I have already had the pleasure of speaking with a few of you from Atlantic Canada here on bigger pockets. perhaps we can use this thread or create one to help with current issues problems or solutions to issues and challenges we face thoughts? 

Its just kind of the nature of the beast and investing were over 50% of all homes are rentals its a different lifestyle than what we are used to at least on the west coast were maybe 10% of SFR's are rentals  renters rent apartments.

Years ago, a friend of mine took on a similar challenge in an older neighborhood near Chicago..he opened up the top floor to create a master suite that felt less like a converted attic and more like a boutique hotel room.

This will give you a clear idea of what the house might be missing, and or need and gives you time to make those changes/additions before your first group.Another tip: I think it is natural for bigger properties to have more vacancies during the week/slow season.

Finding a deal on that list is challenging.
