For any investors in the group, take a peak at #10 Greensboro/High PointIt's an interesting choice of verbiage to look at "median" sale price YoY because 10% feels like A LOT on the entry-level/investment inventory, and more of what I see in the high-end resale and, specifically, new construction inventory that tends to swing our avg's way up in the macro.Completely disagree that rent will be 0%.

These days as you mention with STR almost everything can be handled remotely...cleaning, painting, locksmith, yard care, even drive by pictures of the house occasionally or internal pictures too. 

I could quickly determine if I wanted to offer a discount or not.What I don't like is Pricelabs can swing pricing for certain nights by over $200 overnight.

G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

Best advice: don't get emotional about a deal.Found first deal on MLS, but have found stuff on FB, Nextdoor app, and even yard signs! 

I'm curious what lender would take something that can have swings of 50% on a weekly rate as collateral?

Conventional would allow you to add a fence or do yard work in your bid.I cannot lend to you personally in MA but happy to answer any general questions about the 203k or other Renovation loan programs!

The yard looked like trash, plumbing stack leaks and multiple water heater leaks.

Yeh they didn’t like paying the taxes but they got a new house, with a large yard, great neighborhood and twice the size.  

Builders in my area have told me that's generally what you can swing.
