The strength of this property is its visual impact and also the amenities offered.

This market already exists, if it hasn't gotten large it's probably a function of market dynamics not idea/execution is my guess. 

The family dynamic isn't a major concern. 

Dubai is a dynamic city with great potential for growth.

It's one of the few things you can't see during a showing/ visual inspection and I've seen issues up to $100k with sewer lines so it's worth the $150 to send a camera in and see what's going on.

Hey @Alex Dixon, great visual representation!

@Ben ClingerHi Ben, I just noticed your post.Toledo just clarified their inspection criteria for section 8 houses and decided they wanted their cake and to eat it too...we don't have to have an interior inspection (since LMHA inspects that during their inspection), but we DO have to pay for a Lead Inspector contractor to visually inspect the exterior of the house and of course we DO have to pay the $45 fee (which is of course what this is all about).LMHA of course inspects the outside of houses along with the inside so the whole lead inspection is redundant.

Vrbo and Airbnb sync with each other for free, Vrbo has free dynamic pricing, both platforms send out enough automated messages for me.I check in on guests after they arrive to provide that small personal touch.We get consistent 5 star reviews with minimal effort.

Hey Mike, good discussion and good that you have some clear expectations going in.As others have mentioned, since you'll be living there, it can be better to start with a subset of cities that you'll genuinely enjoy living in, then work backwards into data and metrics from there.For the cities you mentioned, here's a visualization of current rent-to-price ratios.

If you don't understand the dynamics of these communities, it can sink you.
