I like the quirky design and 50+ MPG doesn't hurt either!

However to your point, using them for only a a few loans in a policy that wasn’t designed properly, wouldn’t be worth it.Most of the people who downplay it online, don’t explain the full picture unfortunately.

I would argue there's more important things than a balcony. interior finishes. we build a triplex stacked over and over and no balcony. on our infill single family home we have two rooftop terraces and covered balconies that we are designing now to sell quick. it's more of an amenity to compete and get a quick sale. 

But, if you need to increase your radius as I did, you will attract quality MTR leads if you buy and design with them as your target tenants (know your audience).

Any kind of remote work would be an option: Virtual assisting, social media management, website design, etc.

It's designed for individuals over 62 that want to stay in their home but otherwise can't afford to. 

get more micro. we define a zip code as a market. there are about 7 zip codes in the city of columbus that we work in as well as about 15 in Miami. we look at the average housing unit delivered and try to develop under the median and average home or condo where there is a lot of absorption. that is mostly through smaller Floorplan design, smart floorplan design, etc. new construction and development you also have much more control over the overall development just my 2 cents. if you are just buying existing it's going to have some issues 

I am interested consultation regarding the feasibility & design of developing rental cabin placement and/or RV campground/park.any recommendations as to whom I could reach out to regarding this?

For those STR operators and investors that are not comfortable self managing (communication with tenants, scheduling cleaners and organizing supplies) one option is to hire a designated full/part time employee. 

the REI will be able to place risk controls by knowing how to analyze markets (not properties), understand how money works so they can develop and use multiple strategies instead of relying on just one, and understanding what a plan is, and how to design one for them,...and stick to it.
