Insurance relocations are a wonderful avatar to serve.Unfortunately, unlike students, they don't follow a predictable cycle of when they will appear.Definitely list on the sites @Allen Duan mentioned.Be prepared to respond quickly and professionally with an attitude of serving both the relocation company and the displaced family.

It's an asset that provides stable predictable income as well as appreciation and tax benefits next step buy yourself a Bently and celebrate.

This was both knowable and predictable.

If the market the house is in is conducive to STR, then it can be worth it, but in some circumstances and in some markets I think LTR still works better, but it is clear STR is taking a foothold as an option in the Investor mindset and we see that in the market and I think a pretty clear prediction is that STR will take a bigger and bigger share of the investment strategies of investors.

Often at a premium price with 2–10% above-market interest rates, just like you mentioned.Why do this because becoming the lender, not the landlord, changes everything:No repairsNo tenantsNo property managementNo capex surprisesJust a predictable stream of monthly payments that is secured by the same real estate we used to flip or hold as rentals.

It’s about assessing whether the environment supports property rights, enforceable contracts, and predictability in how assets are managed.For those who invest in New York or have exited New York or stayed on the sidelines like me, do you see any reason to reconsider?

It's the laziest possible path the outcome is predictable. 

That’s the sweet spot where performance and predictability align.If you’re going BRRRR or even just planning to hold, these markets are turnkey-friendly too, good local teams and infrastructure already in place.Happy to share more if you’re digging into any of these spots!
