It is fun and exciting and the best way that I have encountered to create wealth. 

@Ian Noble, I own a duplex and have encountered the same issues you are experiencing.

It is rare that a super host will cancel a reservation because we lose our super host status if we do.If you read the STR listing description and its reviews, and choose accordingly, you don't normally encounter surprises.

Asking is $350k but hoping to get it for closer to $275k (buildings are a package deal).Questions: Am I forgetting to consider something?

When eyeing multifamily investments, you’ll likely encounter two key metrics – cap rates and gross rent multipliers (GRM).At first glance, they seem similar, but there are some important differences between the two.The GRM simply divides the purchase price by the property’s total potential rental income–it doesn’t account for operating expenses.Cap rates, on the other hand, factor in both income AND expenses to give a more complete profitability picture.The main advantage of cap rates is their ability to evaluate better and compare investment returns, risks, and value.

I'm looking into multi-family units in Pittsburgh and I've been working with the Zillow API using the ZillowR package but keep running into a 501 error (Protected data is unavailable through API) with the `GetUpdatedPropertyDetails` function which returns critical info like price, number of bedrooms, number of units, etc.

Use HomeDepot's flooring calculator to calculate how much flooring you'll need (it includes a 5% extra flooring buffer because you will mess up some cuts)On the mental side, whether it's a big construction project or a simple LVP flooring project, you will encounter set backs, problems etc... you're going to want to give up, take a deep breath and push on.

Base case scenario is straightforward renovation, add class A amenity package, improve NOI and resell as a single asset. 

How do you deal with a dead body in an STR, and have you personally encountered an intruder in one of your properties?

To my understanding Flipster has 3 price packages. $97/$197/$297.
