Soon, there will be a ton of posts below from agents in Columbus and Cleveland to "help" you, but you already know where you want to be.I wouldn't be thinking STR for Ohio unless you are doing woodsy, which can work, but the table stakes are high on those (swimming holes, saunas, game rooms, hot tubs).

I believe you are referring to portable lockers or PODS. 

I don't know that the payback would be worth an indoor sauna.

I have an opportunity to buy a nice 1x1 condo for $240000 in an decent area of Santa Ana (which is an OK area of central Orange County [it isn't the safest, but it's very convenient to a number of business/universities with lots of potential renters]).The condo is 713 sq ft, with community laundry, semi-upgraded (newer/upgraded cabinets in the kitchen, laminate flooring throughout, tile counters), carport + 1 extra parking, large patio, 1st floor, corner unit, lots of light, safe/gated community with good amenities (pool/spa, club house, sauna, small fitness room), location is convenient to shopping, freeways, other cities, etc.Purchase price would be $240K with 20% down.

If they have hot tubs, maybe you put in a sauna.

Also, Scott K is right about off-seasons, even with a great house- mountainviews, sauna, hot tub ect you're lucky if you get more than just the weekends.
