Even if the area is cleaned up, I wouldn't purchase any rental real estate in Kensington, Fishtown or Northern Liberties for a few years.

A 32-year-old would never insult a politician in person, but they have no problem getting nasty from the safety of mom's basement.If profiles were verified and public, then we would clean things up a bit.

Vrbo and Airbnb makes it pretty easy to self-manage.Add a great cleaning team and you are 95% of the way there.Its good to locate handymen and the like but those are easy to find on local FB groups or thumbtack.

Currently working on the floor plans.

I would use cleaning services but it's my understanding I could use more than one company over the course of the year to limit how many hours one company spends on it.I'm looking into a utilitarian STR more for business travelers, so this won't be one where everything is perfect, it's bound to accumulate wear and tear I think.The STR would be out of state, but I plan to travel there for probably two weeks a year where I would perform many repairs myself.

The other things to keep in mind utilities, cleaning before/after (fee, does it need to be dictated?)

Zoned 401-commercial. .353 acre lot7 0f 8 units updates in past 7 years. unit 8 in good condition long term(13 year tenant). all 1 bed/1bath. fully occupied. 4 units on 1st floor, 4 units on 2nd. just had the parking lot repaved spring 24', good drainage.

And a nice rehabbed cash flowing house with a new roof, hvac, driveway, LVP floors and updated kitchen and bathrooms.

Perhaps one level is just to clean up the unit and install new appliances.

Booked every night for a month, doesn't even cover the mortgage, let alone the cleaning fees and maintenance of the pool, etc. and if you have a property manager, you have to be cashflow negative.
