If you're unable to find comps within a 3 year time frame, I'm interested to know what your other search parameters typically are ( sq. ft. range, bed/bath count/ etc. ) , and also the locations you are unable to source these comps. 

We typically use this unit as a mid term rental and then in between time while we try and fill the vacancy, we list it on Airbnb.

Validate planning zoning requirements and access to utilities.

On top of that, our STR management company now oversees more than 90 listings under the Cozy Co-Host banner.My wife and I have transitioned from the typical 9-to-5 grind to achieving financial freedom as business owners and real estate investors.

i keep seeing:1. buy out of state rental in a solid neighborhood with long-term potential (just as you are recommending) but then...2. have one rough tenant turn that costs a couple grand, and3. give up on real estate investing, and turn on everyone involved in the transaction for not guaranteeing that sweet cash flow in month 1 I literally just had this conversation with a prospective client when he asked me what a typical outcome looks like.I told him everyone nods and agrees when I drill into them the risks of investing OOS and in Detroit.

I think clean, nice finishes that aren't too flashy or unique is typically the best choice, especially in the price range you are looking at in Boise.

The if is the challenge as ground up ADUs typically cost more. 

@Michael Izbotsky In community property states like California, assets acquired during marriage are typically owned equally by both spouses, which may complicate transferring jointly owned property into your sole-member LLC.

If you have zero vacancies, zero tenant damage, make sure utilities (especially heat) stay on every winter even if the tenant doesn’t pay.
