When i read about how their deal was really messed up with most investor probably going to take huge loss's its not shocking.. you have to stay right on top of these and have the manpower to do it.

I've largely stayed away from the "sub-to" buz word, but I have done a couple sub-to flips knowing that I only needed to hold onto them a couple months and I was prepared to pay off the notes if they were called.Sub-to for long-term hold on the other hand has me nervous. 

I have thought about Ohio as well but may stay local and we definitely need to put time into our STR's to get them better.

If it's gas heat, electric still needs paid so that the furnace stays on.

Great to hear you had a plan, stuck to it, and executed it consistently.You've made the shift to the "I" quadrant, while your working friends wish to stay in the "E" or "S" quadrantsWhat are the plans now with your new FREEDOM?

To streamline design choices, create a design guide or "mood board" beforehand to stay consistent with finishes that match the neighborhood's expectations.For monitoring progress, a property manager can sometimes oversee construction, but it’s typically better to rely on the GC for updates.

I've had 1 tenant stay for 3 years, the others have stayed for a year on average but it depends.

Stay patient, keep learning, and leverage this community for support.

In my opinion, your occupancy rate and min night stay seem in the ballpark for planning purposes at this stage.
