I wanted to share some key insights from Rentometer’s analysis of over 5 million rental searches in 2024. The findings are particularly interesting for those focused on the Columbus, Ohio market, which topped the list...

the key to investing in these types of deals is just like you just said.. you can lose the money and not change your lifestyle..

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Stephen Birnbaum: Sure, California has problems but it also has amazing weather allowing for a healthier lifestyle.

We still end up doing a few things like upgrading appliances or installing recessed LED lighting and dimmer switches and other life-style upgrades to attract top-notch tenants. 

I have posted other real-world ones in past. 

Now take short-term AirBnB properties like one of mine in Miami.

You are missing my entire point, but maybe one day you will get it. 

Secondly, tiny homes promote a minimalist lifestyle, encouraging reduced consumption and a greater appreciation for experiences over material possessions.

I hope you can achieve your ideal lifestyle.

Look at Homes.com or Realtor.com to get an idea what that type of property is selling for (look at the ones Pending or Under Contract)...or, look in the county's GIS system to see what similar properties sold for.Once you have an idea what a fair market value would be, let the landlord (if they're interested in selling) mention their price.
