I was researching the condo market for cash flow and unless the condo is under $130k and in a popular neighborhood like North Park here, it is hard just to meet a 1% rule.

Kaaawa (1/2 mile from where they filed Jurassic park), Haliewa is super popular (famous for shave ice and artists studios). 

Arizona is a pretty popular state for solar panels.

As for paint I recommend painting the entire interior agreeable gray with white trim as it's the most popular color scheme in the US right now. 

There is also the Popular Annual Financial Report, which is smaller and more marketing than details.

@Roland Paicely Here in Phoenix it’s quite popular- especially in areas like Scottsdale where SFH are so expensive.

I think it's too soon to see the economic carnage from covid but if the trend continues where c and d class properties become more popular from the tenant pool that bolds well for MF long term

This type of rental is becoming more popular around here. 

Can anyone provide me with popular destinations that are STR friendly?

You can't get do this if you don't have access to some kind of capital to finance the deal which is why what the gurus teach is so popular.
