I do emphasize on showing that my 1800 property is not going to magically become modern. 

Does it look like a modern-ish apartment with breezeways and internal stairs, or is it built like a roadside motel with long walk ways along the front.  

In today's competitive real estate market, having modern amenities can set your property apart, making it more attractive to a wider audience.

Modern is all dependent on the area.

Because of that success, and the tourism of Santa Fe, I'm assuming a STR will likely out preform a LTR with modern amenities, design, etc in place.  

Modern well-constructed condos will probably last a long time.

Late payments, property damage, and evictions are avoidable when you have a PM who knows how to find reliable renters.I encourage you to seek out a property management company that emphasizes tenant screening and uses modern tools for verification.

The key difference, though, was he spent months carefully getting to know the local architecs, reputable builders, and even a couple of niche design firms that specialize in modern builds for mid- to high-end buyers.

But tuned out to be a pretty nice profit deal for us about 650 to 700k net in less than a year.the lady got her home back free and clear and I told her do not Borrow against it ever again her kids had forced her into last time and of course took the money themselves.

We got robbed by a seemingly sweet old man just like Lloyd Christmas got robbed by the sweet old lady in the motor scooter in Dumb and Dumber.
