I just found this thread very helpful in not choosing them to contact for my future project.

Markets are very important, while most rents have slowed, some markets a lot less than others, and the better markets will rebound quicker.If we go back in time, this song has been played.

In your normal course of business, you may choose to try to pass that fee onto the tenant.

But before we go on the quest for all the fancy amenities, I think a lot of STR owners should focus on the basics first.Just my .02I agree, but assuming you already have the solid basics like a nice, clean place and you want to figure out how to choose the best amenities to make your place stand out and increase profitability, the tool I’m trying to find is what I’m asking about. 

While the obvious caveat to this is a slightly higher purchase price (if you choose to do so), there are a variety of benefits to this strategy as well, such as:- The idea of getting a Lump Sum Payday (from the bank) AND a steady stream of Passive Income from you as an investor for the downpayment is incentivizing to most. - If the seller is desperate to close (due to health issues, family problems, liens, etc.), they may agree to Seller Finance the small amount in order to ensure the deal makes it to the closing table. - You're minimizing how much is coming out of pocket when closing arrives. 

What would happen if your investors choose to leave their money in, would the capital amount just go up?

Many investors from California are choosing to invest in the Midwest because of the low barrier to entry and yearly cash returns making more sense in these lower priced markets.

In strong sellers markets it may be more difficult for unrepresented buyers and they may choose to get a Realtor but this is the market dictating the circumstance and not the NAR.

Want to make sure I am doing my due diligence in choosing the right tenant for my property.
