The three properties referenced above: a) one turns into a mid-term allowing me to get higher than normal rents that cover everything; b) one turns into a short term; c) the third I focus on getting the highest dollar with short fall of may $100 per month and planning to raise rents in the next few years to cover that eventually.Problems: I have been a long time airbnb user.
