I have used Waivo for 1-2 years and been happy with it.I think it's easiest to just get on the phone with them and let them pitch you so you can ask your questions.

I don't often speak to peoples background but in this case it's important and I would be surprised if half of them graduated Highschool.

Their goal is to eliminated group homes, half way houses etc, even STR, so check out the local zoning as well. 

The only thing I'd mention is cash flow with a paid off property is a lot higher than with a mortgage, so it is 6 of one, half dozen of another. 

Four properties were existing STR's that had a permit 'transfer' and the other half were eligible properties that successfully launched with astounding success.

Also, to track spending habits - just had a prospect withdraw their application when we asked why they were spending half their income on gambling websites.

If it's in a high tax /flood area taxes and insurance could easily be 5-6k or half that then with title insurance points and closing it could make senseWhat is the breakdown ?

Personally, I airbnb half of my house, individual rooms, and stay nearly 100% booked.

I purchased both as a package and for the next six years enjoyed great cash flow as I paid the tax on the house lot annually at about half of what it should have been and neglected to pay anything on the tennis court lot.  

I recently added a half bathroom to existing footage in a unit that is valued over $1k/ft that the comps showed the half bathroom added ~$50k of value.- not sure of your home market but i assume you are choosing ohio for its lower cost.
