I guess my question is this: is the very low cash flow (due to my low down-payment and high interest) going to improve?

You should find out what percentage of the rent is being paid by S8 and by the tenant.Tenants have to sign the rent increase and some won't because they don't want their payment portion increasing.It's also highly unlikely a S8 office will approve the huge increase from $797 to $1300.- BTW: the $1300 includes all utilities being paid by the landlord.

I was relieved to hear you speak highly of his program after reading the posts before yours.

For the PA investors out there or maybe in other states with high transfer taxes (2% of property value).

Areas with high inventory (e.g., Austin, TX) are likely to see slow or negative rent growth and appreciation.

What people want in this area of the business (STR) is humans.Look at the top STR coaches and they all say that the more you humanize your listing with personal videos and messages, the more you go up in revenue.

About me, most of my assets are RE but in another market so I would be diversifying in that market.Potential for appreciation is very uncertain: prices have risen a lot locally lately and are as high as they have ever been, and it’s unlikely higher prices would be affordable by locals.

Condo's usually have high HOA dues which will eat into your cash flow.

The 10% vacancy and repairs, along with 5% capex in my opinion are pretty high.
