These are the top three features I always keep in mind when evaluating a potential property:1️⃣ Location Matters: Properties near attractions, with great walkability, or offering something unique—like a waterfront or mountain view—tend to perform better.

I'm a huge fan of San Antonio as an STR market, but it is, like most "mature" markets, very sensitive about WHAT performs well. 

.- PM is contractually obligated to perform annual maintenance/inspection to keep property in top shape. - PM provides a cash based accounting report every month, for every unit under management, that clearly labels all rent, all expenses, including management fees, and the net directly ties to the amount of money deposited into my bank account.- PM is a licensed handyman, or has them on staff, and takes care of most unit turn work at a reasonable rate. - PM has no breakup/termination fee- PM does not take project management fees, except on large or complicated CapEx projects exceeding $5,000. 

I self perform most of my construction at this point and find it very difficult to make ground up construction pencil in Philadelphia unless I am selling for $400/ft.

He even agreed to selling me one of his since it’s already performing and ready to go.

Hey @Sidney Duquette so I am not a fan of buying properties that can't perform with the hopes that it will build equity to offset the losses.

Show a solid performing AirBNB and then punch out a list of prospecting for arbitrage and also promoting yourself as a co-host. 

That will buy you some time to get more capital together, and you know that money will be used to perform the job.

For durability check the max weight and look for performance fabric options. 

The client gets to receive the home as a performing asset with built-in property management in place so the entire process can be smooth and enjoyable.
