Hi, I’m highly considering a mixed use building which includes a few residential units and a couple commercial units.

I would find a property that can provide you both.I used to aim for 8% cash on cash return + 4% appreciationGiven where the market is now, it is likely hard to find 8% cash-on cash and a 4% appreciation.I think 4% cash-on cash and 4% appreciation is do-able.

It ensures they did a good job and a thorough job, it also provides evidence of the state the house was in when guests arrived in case there are any guest complaints or guest damage.

As both a realtor and a general contractor.

Here's info on screening tenants here from BP - and a link to a screening partner.BP's Tenant Screening - Ultimate GuideGood luck.

My original SFR was 1100sf and I added 2 units: an 800sf SB9 unit and a 750sf ADU (converted garage plus addition).

I sat in on a lot of the meetings with owners/city and it seems for the most part to me, the city is just not interesting in AirBnB and as an investor, that's not a good place to be or be right.There will always be probably a few people who skirt the law or think they have a good workaround, but often catch 22. 

Do you have your finances in order now and a pre-approval so you know what price point you should be targeting?

I believe your witness to the smell and a signed affidavit from a neighbor or two would be enough to evict.

My STR had 15 Mbps, and I could stream Netflix on four TVs and a mobile device without any lag.
