They stay many years, it minimizes my headache factor (and with that overhead expenses), our vacancy rate is close to zero and I am in neighborhoods that appreciate really well. 

My wife is a stay-at-home mom but handles leasing, tenant issues, repairs—basically runs the rentals.We’re exploring if she can qualify for Real Estate Professional Status to offset my W2 income.

I saw a lot of gaps but also learned a lot and decided to take my knowledge and solve problems in the industry inside of my brokerage.

In our market today it's getting increasingly difficult to stay busy.

Very satisfying flip with lots of experience and knowledge.

You have to stay in the program longer to succeed.

I have a few friends with STRs in Asheville and Boone, and they are nice enough to let me stay at their homes. 

Do the math on average stay for both and combine. 

Like I told the other gentleman, stay in YOUR lane.

Looking to diversify my long term rental portfolio with some STRs in the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area but I fully admit I'm short the knowledge in that space.
