We use and are happy with Avail as a lease management platform for when we get a FF renter, but it doesn't play well with the OTA booking platforms (which are becoming greater sources of residents for us).

This long-term play has less risk for someone just starting out.

Nothing wrong with that - it kinda “plays it safe”.  

@Salvatore D'AgostinoMy clients and I have had great results with Cost Segregation Authority.

Well my guy that I helped found it on Facebook marketplace the guy was only asking $9,000 and I basically told him I liked it I wanted it and the seller tried to play the smooth saying I've got a bunch of buyers and the price went up and I basically told him to take it or leave it and I bought it for 10,000 bucksHow did you finance this deal?

It is important to keep in mind that DSCR is just one factor that lenders consider when evaluating a loan application, and other factors such as property condition, location, and market conditions also play a role.It is also a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or loan officer to get a better understanding of the loan requirements and to get an idea of how your investment property will be evaluated by lenders.Feel free to reach out if you need more feedback, happy to help.

Air Conditioning, if an city is hit or miss with A/C units does this play a large factor on rent and/or property values?

I plan to evict them however wanted to know if anyone knows of any landlord programs or resources to assist with repair costs, currently the housing authority will not pay for any repairs.

I'll be interested in how they make the Experience "exclusive" to Airbnb as that seems like a terrible business model for the people hosting the Experience unless ABB cuts a check for them.IMO it is also a branding play to differentiate from VRBO, Booking, hotels etc.

But that only comes into play if you sell the property later and don't 1031...so if that isn't the plan then I wouldn't worry about it now.At the end of the day you never pay more in taxes than you make in income.
