I'm just trying to learn as I go and it has me questioning if I'm putting too much cash into points and closing costs that are just gone in contrast to a higher downpayment would translate into equity (if it doesn't have the same amount of points and closing costs).   

Being a maintenance coordinator, in contrast, would have counted for REP status hours, but not when you're a W2 employee.

In contrast to some/many I would never buy a scratch and dent appliance for my rentals.

In contrast, mid-term rentals are rentals of necessity, typically for people like traveling nurses or other people who are in a location for business reasons.

It adds an aesthetic contrast in the mortar.

Owners typically want buyer to have significant equity position which contrasts buyer’s desire for high LTV.

You can get a great deal there, I was told just because some people don't want to have to cross the downtown area like I did to go anywhere.By the way, San Jose del Cabo, by contrast, has a beautiful historic downtown with a great Mexican vibe.

I would be interested to hear other people’s experience who have had their STRs regulated away and to contrast it with my experience.  

I'm wanting to go with an off white likeantique white, navajo white or something similar...ceilings are flat white and doors and trim semi-gloss white, so I want a bit of contrast for the walls.

Also if you look at a market where buy and hold is the focus, and as Emily Dixon has pointed out University work could be a good start, you may find a different perspective.Not to get in the middle of it ;> but you can see the contrast between short term cost analysis as I think Ryan Richard is looking at it and more of a life cycle cost analysis as a buy and hold oriented group would.Of course scale comes into play and market too, but hopefully you get what I'm trying to explain.
