Brady,When I do my screening for new tenants I would weight the rental history the most.  

Owner occ developments there is no value associated to the income approach so these props generally speaking will appreciate a lot more as the neighborhoods are much more desirable. builders the last thing they want to do is sell to investors if they are creating owner occupied communities.. rentals degrade the neighborhood and they will be sabotaging their own values to allow a bunch of investors to buy and rent out in their communities.So when you buy new builds keep in mind if its a build to rent community they will NOT appreciate like owner occupied neighborhoods.. might be best to find something already 3 to 5 years old where the stigma of renters dies down.. that would be best to protect your investment.

We were especially thrilled to start our investing journey with a duplex, and it was even better that the tenants desired to stay and had been consistent with rent for many many years.

Quote from @Paul Azad: Beautiful property Blake, and great growing area, i drove through a few years ago, amazing scenerey and perrenial vacation spot, would you feel comfortable sharing the structure of the syndication for the investors, fees, projected IRR, or time weighted avg returns etc from a potential passive investor perspective?

Personally I think there are good loans out there but people look for the "perfect" loan that fits their buy box and meets a desired return - which the return is going to be based on risk.So for many you cannot have your cake and eat it too. thoughts?

It's a spacious 4br 2.5 bath with finished basement in desirable school district in a B Class neighborhood.

That also makes that scenario less desirable.  

I am torn between pricing rent lower with a minimum 3 night stay or just weeding out the less desirable/more work clients with higher pricing.  

For instance, do 2/2 properties typically have longer average stays, or are they more desirable?

Playing sports isn't forever and I know a 9-5 isn't for me, I am very much desiring to get ahead and learn how to build wealth from all those smarter than me!
