Note: We do 50+ investment property loans a month and the most important thing I tell BUYERS of properties being sold as or soon to be STR is make sure you are paying the market price per square foot and do NOT buy based on income approach/CAP rate.

@Andrew Steffens the pool of buyers that have six figures of cash (you really need about $150k in cash to buy a $500k STR), have some subject matter expertise, AND want to self manage is even smaller. 

Our project management kept everything on schedule, making the property highly attractive to buyers.

Apple has been quoted a ton in papers and every realtors says it to buyers etc.

But there will be some markets or sectors that are buyers markets. 

Our combined efforts made the property appealing to buyers, leading to a successful sale at $99,000.

Leave some on the bone for the end buyer.

It had zero affect on me as the buyer
