They all think they are going to a meeting and the lovely Christina is going to be there to show them how to remodel a home.The folks that are TV reality show stars ( other than ARmando) simply rent their name and make a bundle doing that. they might show up at the big event and talk for 30 minutes shake some hands and down the road they go.

If he did that today, he would be a YouTube star selling investment courses to suckers.If you borrow against your equity at 6.5% and then get a mortgage at 6.5%, you will finance the entire purchase price at 6.5%.

@Diogo Candido i'm definitly up for a good challenge ;) Looking at what is in the market already, it seems we would need to "build" some kind of 4 or 5 star hotel but ready for seniors.Then we would have two options:1) find an operator to run the assisted business who would be our tenant (not the seniors) and pay us a rent;2) manage the property and the assisted business;At this point in my life, i would be only interested in number 1).

One would need to be a serious sucker to value some Airbnb 5 star reviews and some sheds in the backyard at $200k+.Not necessarily. 

Coffee stains under the fridge or a dust bunny in a corner, not if you want the 5 star review and the repeat bidness 🤪 What would be included in a deep clean that is not normally cleaned?

A lot of people will pay $1200/nt for 4 crappy budget motel 6 quality rooms at the All-Star resort rather than $175/nt for an 8br themed out mansion with a private pool, theater, and $30,000 arcade room.To answer your original question on investing over a long-term period, that is really this market's main strength. 

Yes to all of it.Definitely stay there a few days to find things your cleaners aren't going to notice.You need to create the 5 star experience from the beginning.
