STRs require a lot more cash up front so you just want to make sure you have a good idea of what you're getting into first :) I own STRs and love it but I also wish I had learned a little more about the analysis and management prior to going live - I did some of that on the back end and could have been successful faster.Another idea is to talk with some owners 1:1 to see what advice they would have for someone starting out.
