The big stuff is gone and if anything does come available Mom and Pop know what it is worth. 

Definitely worth looking into!

I'm not sure I'd want to go past 10 STRs ever and I'm trying to decide if it's worth Co-Hosting or just save up for the next one.

And your net worth will thank you.If you still want to go ahead, you'd be better off buying a house than an apartment because, while the value of the building itself will go to 0, you'll still have the value of the land, bearing in mind that the land might actually lose value too given the depopulation and the yen depreciation.Sorry if I'm pooping a party but make sure you understand what you're getting into (which you're already doing by asking the forum) and then make the decision that's right for you according to your objectives.

i wouldn't cash out your 401K, it's not worth the penalties.the only thing I can say is to keep looking and don't buy just to buy.

I know I can get an insurance plan, but is it worth the headache?

West Valley cities like Buckeye and Avondale, East Valley spots like Apache Junction and Mesa, or growing areas like Casa Grande and Maricopa are worth exploring.

For what it's worth we had a good experience overall..

as a flipper, with the participation of a wholesaler and a hard money lender, what actions should I take BEFORE I close and buy a house (tell me step by step please because i dont really understand the sequence of events) and also please tell me when to do due diligence to make sure how much does it cost to renovate the house and is it worth buying this house?

Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Jamie Parker, for what it is worth, I tend to agree that you can't take the 70% rule for much of anything.
