There is plenty of good turnkey properties on the MLS for sale that would cashflow using the 1% rule and you wont have to overpay for them on a "promise".

With high price per door and high rates, you wont find any cash flow.STR market is also very saturated and we're seeing more regulation there.I'd keep the end goal bigger multifamily deals.

This entire conversation in my opinion comes into play for a group or entity that may have 50-100 STR's where the branding will matter more but to be honest from what we have seen when they get that large they usually have lack luster service and subpar reviews- in the end someone that is 1031'ing mostly cares about that cash flow at that level and that's why and mostly only why they care about buying a brand. 1-15 units and a brand is nice but in my opinion wont break a deal- we are trying to do it but in the end its more for our guests to have a simple streamlined way to book with us.

We not only lost our hard-earned money but on top of everything, our health suffered, I had several sleepless nights due to the stress and anxiety that this horrible experience created for my wife and me.After the buy-back was completed, I approached Maverick to at least help us with our losses by requesting us to give back ~$6000.

She wont admit anything and neither are her guests.

No, only after missing significant payments then you could suffer a forced sale.     

Am I suffering from greener grass syndrome, or should I have "Lived where I want to live and invested where the money made sense."?

But a realtor will not know these underlying lots exist and for sure wholesalers wont have a clue.

But if you are doing AirBNB just make sure its in a seasoned market that wont have some random policy change that makes it to where you can not use the unit as a short term rental anymore.

Certainly not by liquidating their retirement accounts that just suffered an historic drop in value.Do you feel that Oregon’s bias against landlords is a temporary fad, or a permanent change that may even worsen over time?
