Send me a PM - our business specializes in designing flips and STRs across the US!

I'm not sure why that metric has held true but it still applies, the properties that perform well above that ratio are the owners that treat their STR like a business.

It's too much like the hospitality business rather than a rental. 

Busy street 2.

I’m about to expand my student rental business and am looking for rockstar contractors

Everyone was on bottled water for months.You may want to ask for proof that Flint is growing or attracting business investments.Now Detroit is an entirely different story!

Fast forward 20 years: I now have money in the bank, excellent credit, live modestly on my own, and run a business that’s doing well.Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to save much for retirement during most of my life.

Its not as easy but once you are up in running you are building a brand, equity in your business, and also constant flow of leads.

Is it on a busy street, does it have a view, etc..

Money for the down payments that comes in like an annuity either from your W2 efforts or from owning another business.
