15 year fixed mortgages are very underrated a 200bps spread is enticing as well as lower transaction costs.  

I have three listings, 1. unit with a pool and hot tub, 2. unit with a hot tub, 3. both units together as a 12 sleeper.Gross monthly income (after booking channel fees) for the first unit over a 7 month period was $7309.Gross monthly income for both units over a 14 month period is $11,297 (after booking channel fees) As a long term rental the combined rent would be in the region of $5500.Is it possible to sell the property based on the income generated by the STR business or would the value always be based on bricks and mortar comps? 

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

I think if anyone chose to focus on inbound crews and create parking like you said, as well as crew amenities (large dining areas, etc), they would be booked year-round and in-demand.

@Alex Hymanson  you should read the book...Storing Up Profits. 

. - The ultimate house hack, live in the small ADU unit and rent out the two levels of the main house on AirBnb in San Francisco (I would have thought STRs are oversaturated in S.F. but it worked for them and they stay fully booked).

I'll check out the book.

So you transactional income and drip income.. both can be scaled.

Another option if you're looking for something with higher yield than index funds, that's hands off, and will teach you a lot about real estate investing without having to do it yourself could be investing in syndications which is referred to in the book Jonathan recommended.
