I have heard of cabin / mountain market STR operators doing some kind of hiking package, or way to connect a guest to a private tour guide for an "upcharge" which gives the hike tour guide an income and the STR operator a nice upcharge too. 

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

As you've mentioned, great schools, area in general is nice and it's centrally located.

If they think they have an "Airbnb" Unless they own the publicly traded company, then they only have a STR, or a vacation rental if they have a nice place/location.

I personally recommend checking Columbus OH - lots of job growth, population growth, and major companies moving and developing here.

One appeared visibly unoccupied, with a mattress and other debris on its porch and its upstairs windows boarded up.Of the remaining seven homes, The Inquirer was able to question residents of four about whether they continued to be charged rent.All said they had been.One tenant, Shanna Anderson, said she stopped being able to afford her $1,750-a-month rent to DHI Fund and RAD at her Parkside rowhouse after losing her job at a real estate brokerage during the pandemic.In late November, RAD threatened to evict her if she failed to pay $6,530 owed for unpaid rent since August.Her home’s rental license has been inactive since late July, according to L&I records.

They stated that they were not a lawyer so they couldn't comment on the legalities of my question and they still worked for the bank so they couldn't give me any more info without losing their job but assured me that I was on the right track, keeping asking these questions and don't stop until you find your answer. 

Not nearly enough for a gut job or to cherry it out.

At my point in life everything I own is both a cash flow superstar and appreciating nicely, because I'm invested in growing, popular areas.If I was just starting off now, I'd probably be aiming for value-add in good areas where I could either live there while improving the unit(s) - ie a duplex, triplex - or where I could trade sweat equity for profit, or both.

To address this I took detailed pictures from beginning to end of my most recent flip, documenting that we did a thorough job using quality materials.
