Welcome to the land lord life and congrats on getting started so young!

I don’t believe you need to allocate more for a STR compared to a LTR, but should consider the life of the property and what expensive items might need to be replaced/age of these items such as the furnace, A/C, roof, water heater etc.

I would love to add value to your life as you would add value to mine by responding to this post. 

And in this case, it didn't and so now you lose not only a hundred thousand dollars in equity you lose most of your life's time savings your IRA your 401ks, and that asset can literally drag you right down to the bottom of the ocean and you didn't even know what happened to believe me I know I've been there I've done it a bad idea.

If a hot tub time machine brought me back to that age, knowing what I know now, what I would do would be:1)  In the very beginning I'd get the absolute cheapest housing possible, be it studio apartment, mobile home in a park, a bedroom somebody is renting out, whatever, and not worry if that makes friends and family laugh and worry about your life. 

Math, Psychology, English, Law, Physics (as it applies to such things as structures, etc.)As a boost to general life skills add logic and history.

Looking to get a new start in life.

See, as a patient quality of life is vital but being imprisoned to appts and treatments makes it hard to travel anywhere much unless to drs so I’m thinking if I theme each STR differently from decor down to even snacks etc I may stay booked a lot but mainly it’s my way of making a difference.

I’m a 20 y/o college student from Oklahoma, and within this past year I’ve consumed real estate knowledge like my life depended on it.

I'd start by writing what you want your new life to look like then match that to a few areas that can deliver it, the rest will take care of itself.
