Quote from @Todd Wines: I am a retired Math and Science teacher of 25 years.  

thank you for an amazing threadI had a couple college rentals which I collected  the years rent upfront with double security deposit and signers on the lease were parents and had to have excellent credit and plenty of income I made almost as much money in damage fees as I did on rent Or unusual to receive 5 figure checks from parents for wine stained carpet.  

Sprawling 5,419 Sq Ft Country Traditional Estate on a FLAT ACRE with amazing PARK-LIKE GROUNDS with Gazebo, mature trees, custom pool and spa, island,, in the Gated Estates right off of Kanan near the 101 Fwy and just minutes to world famous Zuma Beach AND Malibu wine tasting vineyards!

Also, he makes wine on the weekend. 

If you can't distinguish between someone mentioning what an analyst has predicted vs what the guy bringing it to your attention believes, relax, have a glass of wine and call me in the morning. 

Mainly to make sure everything's turned off on check out but also to turn on porch lights when guests arrive late.We also have a Kasa smart plug on the game room wine fridge so we can turn off the fridge between guest stays.

I have a farmhouse that sleeps 14 in wine country in NOVA.

Some markets to check out: Lake Tahoe (high demand but strict permits), Sonoma/Napa (wine tourism, tight restrictions), Gold Country (lower buy-in, seasonal demand), and Mendocino Coast (beautiful but limited STRs).SoCal spots like Big Bear and Joshua Tree tend to be more STR-friendly.

@Justin Knighten I am new to real estate investing but am looking to start STR’s specifically in and around the Shenandoah National Park and VA wine country.
