Excellent point on the IRR, I haven’t built my spreadsheet out to accurately calculate that yet but I know it’s pretty high for the SoCal properties.

I'm sure the answer is "it depends" but in general, do people that operate medium-term rentals tend to find a better response from a unit that looks pretty or a unit that might have some more perks while someone is there for a short time?

We have a huge influx of people buying in NH at the moment, obviously mostly short-term COVID-related, however I do feel this will be pretty sustained, now that so many people are questioning city life and have realized it IS possible to work from home, so why not do so in an incredibly beautiful place with hardly any crime and tons of outdoor activities?

Landlord’s only option to collect funds for damages is to take tenants to court.More and more tenants are only having a portion of their rent covered by S8, so landlords need to still screen S8 applicants for portion they must pay.Landlord cannot charge S8 tenants a portion of shared utilities – which can lead to the infamous tales of tenant retaliation against landlord by blasting heat on high with open windows during winter.S8 caseworker response times can be very slow, as they are usually overworked & underpaid.Again, overall it’s a pretty good deal for a landlord that does some decent screening.Exposing Section 8 Housing | Tenants From hell 243 - YouTubeLiberals Blame this Eviction on Landlord Despite the Before & After Footage | Tenants From Hell 241 - YouTubeMy first Baltimore buy & hold investment - SOLD (Lessons learned) (biggerpockets.com)Besides MANY self-labeled "gurus" exaggerating their success, many of them just supply readily available info.If you're too busy to find the info and are willing to pay for it, no problem as you accept their time vs money solution.REGARDING S8 GURU ISSUES SPECIFICALLYMost of them don't share all the facts about how Section 8 actually works.They claim you can get HIGHER rent from S8 tenants vs private-paying tenants.Why would the government allow our tax dollars to be spent this way?

You can usually tell pretty quickly if the meetup is legit networking or if it's just a funnel for a sales pitch.

Plenty of owners don't like S8 tenants, but this guy was pretty golden I thought, just bad circumstances and teacher income. 

The entity would need to be pretty large for a state to bother with it.   

We have some pretty excellent locations to do house hacking here and as others have said Airbnb, this way, you can always make profit, even when you are not here.

For $10/mo I think that is a pretty good deal and convenient for people (especially during NFL season), no matter the size and level of luxury of your unit. 

I used to flip in FL before I moved out and looking to get back into it so this product seemed pretty ideal since interest only for the first 10 years.
