They instead focus on fully gutting their projects and install entirely new kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, accent walls, etc. and any exterior or mechanical upgrades necessary.While I understand this whole hog strategy, part of me says this will end up increasing the value of a home so far beyond other homes in the surrounding area that it wouldn't sell for what it's likely worth.

With the regulatory environment surrounding short-term rentals always in flux, I'd never buy a place using Airbnb numbers.

I could never be surrounded by some many people, but it’s househacking there is a great opportunity.Go read the laws on tenant protections and come up with your own thesis.

Nashville and surrounding areas are certainly growing.

Hi, both markets are doing well look into Cleveland and surrounding areas a lot of people are definitely investing in Ohio's market. 

It doesn't mean they CAN'T appreciate - the only thing keeping a manufactured home that is permanently affixed to owned land from appreciating, from what I can tell, is the general stigma surrounding manufactured homes caused by poor quality builds from the 1970s - 1980s and the misconception that ALL manufactured homes depreciate because of those that are not permanently attached to land.

Prices might definitely correct themselves over time across the country, but I don't see any projections of them going down 30-40% anytime soon and all the projections I've seen, prices are going up.But with rents being so high, and prices still relatively low, compared to a lot of other markets in the country, my experience in this market doesn't lead me at all to believe the bottom will fall out anytime soon.If you've been in Northeast Ohio over the last 5 years you can see for yourself how much they've built up the downtown and University Circle area and literally have poured billions of dollars into it's medical infrastructure, which is one of the best in the world, creating thousands of high paying jobs and people willing to pay high rental prices.But I do agree with Nathan that it's all about having the right team and property management to be successful in this market. 

My question to y’all is, is arbitrage legal in Denver or surrounding cities?  

So your competition is getting larger as a landlord.Traffic and infrastructure are starting to have issues keeping up with all of the building.

As many of the surrounding regions grapple with rising water, heat, population and traffic problems and tensions, those invested in the Oregon Coast will have a sanctuary from climate and its societal effects.
