@Nathan Frost uhm, not sure you understand Detroit market.Motion lights & cameras may work half the time at best.Too many insurance claims will get you cancelled and eventually black-balled.But, what do we know after 24 years in the Detroit market...

Half of me wants to gather as much information as I can before making an offer, but the other half of me wants to just make the offer so the seller knows I'm serious, then check all the leases and expenses during the due diligence phase. 

It's a simple 3x5" card that is folded in half.

My guess is that the promotions feature will turn into a variable commission model in the future (20% Discount, Airbnb offers 10% to the customer and pockets the 10% in extra Commissions).

That is assuming your DTI can cover the increased mortgage payment.If you have use for that extra $100k that you would get back right now then don’t wait.

december has one unit fully booked, 2 units half booked, and one unit that is virtually the same as one of the half booked units that has literally 0 nights booked (why?

While I am extra nervous I am trying to make this an investing opportunity and decided to house hack or buy a place to rehab which I can later rent - let’s see how the DC market treats me.Suerte a todos y un placer ! 

Would you rather spend a half an hour on a phone call, and under $200 to fix a small issue now, or the other end you people being slum lords and not handling YOUR responsibilities in owning, renting properties????

I say that but my goal for sfh rentals here in illinois was to get to 20 houses in 10 years and I ended up getting to 83 in 15 years (I've since sold half though so I don't own that many now). 

Tenant has not paid entire rent for first month, do I have any other options other than charging late payment?
