 Any more details on this? 

 Nope, don't know what kind of details you want...? Just check it out...

 What is your rational for recommending this location? Anyone can recommend any location, but why this one?

Need a bit of help as I'm approaching decision paralysis - I'm looking for recommended cities to invest in for STR. Trick is im planning to manage everything remote and/or use a management company. I was looking in Scottsdale, AZ because my brother lives there and can help just in case - but I know Scottsdale is very saturated and highly competitive - so I'm now looking into other locations too. Can anyone recommend other regions / cities that are hot / up and coming? (Would also consider international too)1

Pre-approved at 700k and ready to purchase any time. Not looking for anything with HOA. Willing to do a renovation if needed.

Any input is greatly appreciated as I am a first home buyer and want to start off on the right foot. 🙃

 Wait until the winter. 

Until winter where?

Hi Dustin! I would love to connect with you and discuss STR's. My name is Sloane and I currently work at Easy Street Capital- a real estate investment firm which does a lot of STR deals so I believe we could benefit a lot from each other.

 Hi @Sloane Kraftsow - tried reaching out to you as I'm interested in talking about funding options. Please message me so we can speak further :)

STR‘s are a lot more competitive than they once were. Only the best will be booked and anything less will suffer. Make sure you are buying to be able to cash flow as a long-term rental as well.

Completely agree. “Experience” amenities are key. Pool, hot tub, photogenic walls, mini golf, indoor slides, great lighting, etc. You have to stand out from the crowd. Marketing 101. 😎 I have a great eye for design in this realm, so I’m excited to compete.

Hi Dustin, you might want to consider Southwest Florida. Also, i'd like to welcome you in BP community!

Thank you! Florida is an option… for the right price lol 

Hello everyone - glad to be part of this community. I've been eyeballing STR for about a year now and saving up for a first property. I'm now ready to get moving and doing research on the best areas to buy! Looking forward to connecting with some of you!
