These props were in good areas so I am guessing that is why. keep in mind true A class areas whould see majority of comps being sales to homeowners NOT investors.. homeowners dont care what the cash flow is or the potential rental income is only investors do..

Quote from @Jeff Roth:Monthly rents for mid-term rentals are about 20% (+/-) higher than unfurnished similar long-term rentals.I would not base the income potential for a MTR on a rule of thumb.

Legal consequences and potential financial loss that could have been avoided with timely updates.2.

Hi Eli, This is a creative and potentially win-win strategy that could work well in the right situation.

VRBO may potentially ping you for not responding to all inquiries.

The loss may potentially be disallowed.Best of luck

I want to be able to find potential markets/listings nationally based on the return. 

There are going to be potential issues with tenants anywhere.

Angel investors might be interested, but you'll likely have to give up a portion of the ownership or future profits, and there could be potential complications in managing the investor's expectations and involvement.

Also send me some details on your service offerings, I am potentially looking for a new tax accountant.
