But you still have quite a bit of appreciation just on your half I would imagine. 

I imagine the 30 day was due to the ordinance that was in effect previously but those days are now behind us.

I imagine now that no buyer side commission will be there, they'll have a term in the listing where if they deal with an unrepresented buyer, there is an additional % or set fee to seller, as I doubt many listing firms will agree to handle work for both sides for just the listing fee. 

And you're seeing that in the headlines now as Detroit "dethroned" Miami as the highest appreciating market recently:https://finance.yahoo.com/news/detroit-dethroned-miami-faste...Happy to chat about my experience there or send some resources that might be helpful. there's a zip in miami we have been looking at for development deals (33138) that is unbelievable. like 30% appreciation. we underwrite about 14% in Miami for deals. imagine starting a 10 million dollar build that is worth 20 million on completion and it goes up by 14% when you are building. unreal 

Hard to imagine taking 22 years to reach a respectable size accumulation investing in RE. 

The income basis put the value at over 2x the value of comps (it was a true over 1% property in San Diego which you can imagine the value income approach showed). 

Thinking owner of property saved $30,000 to have it removed.Only imagine the look on people's face when they saw first day versus day on market. 

Hard for a person to imagine living there. 

Maybe working in the STR space just makes it hard to imagine that there is significant demand for longer stays?

I imagine once I buy a place with a small lot, designated spots are the way to go like you said.
