You won't know the ARV correctly or the repair costs so your budgets will be crap.

WHY take on all that crap when you were not motivated in the first place right?

There’s a lot of crap out there and some true professionals.Should you do it yourself?  

Most are crap but there are a few that have been great for growing my network.

I love it, but holy crap man those people are savage animals.

In my experience this is the only way to go one or the other. financing a STR and trying to cash flow and appreciate is a crap shoot right now. 

They can make restitution part of the sentence, and it will stop her crap from harming people down the line. 

They could only handle 1 or 2 clients at a time so the rest would go to crap.

As others have said, if it makes sense, buy it, have enough reserves and don't worry about what hasn't happened yet.If it makes you feel better, if the dollar goes to crap, the saving account you have won't be worth anything anyways. 

I think one of the main issue with exiting whole subdivisions of BTR is that the homes were built about as cheap as you can build a home.. and a neighborhood full of rentals, 100% rentals is going to look like crap from a curb appeal standpoint.. and who wants to buy an owner occ surrounded by tenants like the first people coming in would.
