AIRBNB and the like, can produce a strong and steady income (game days, graduation, events, greek life,etc).

It's a Greek thing.

I live in an amazing 1840s Greek Revival with a barn AND a carriage house and parking but I can still walk to the subway and I'm a $10 Uber from world class entertainment, and we're 1.5 miles from my wife's dream job.So here we are:I bring in ~$5400/month in wages + ~$800/month in rental income from the pure rental property.

This poor girl, didn't understand the difference between prepaid insurance and insurance expense and I may as well have been speaking Greek to her. 

@Mai Barnes@Dennis M. is completely wrong, despite his dual economics and finance doctorates.I have it on good authority that @Caleb Heimsoth is completely unqualified for this sort of prognostication with an engineering background, of all things.Thanks to my Greek heritage, I can read the stars and the coffee grounds and I am certain it's going to be in 118 days.

But post-Patriot Act, I have to go by the name printed on my Consulate Report of Birth Abroad certificate, which was taken from my Greek Orthodox baptismal certificate in 1976 and transliterated as the full, most formal, religious form of my name.I used to live and invest in Greece.Just try to get something like this done over the phone with an Arab name in Greece, something good and ethnic like "Imran ibn Tarik al-Shamoon."

@Jordan Greek a good CPA is a valuable team member but I’m not sure that you actually need one just yet.

Greek Islands and especially Cyprus one will notice every building has a black water tank on top of the roof.. this gives all the hot water one would need.. that would be a nice step forward for desert areas of US.. not that expensive and totally basic.. just a black tank.. on the roof.. gravity floor water in black tank is very warm/hot. 

While Greeks have celebrated Christmas on December 25 since the 1920s, when your tenant googles Orthodox Christmas and January 7, she'll have to crawl through all sorts of bewildering information on Russians and Old Calendarists on the subject and will undoubtedly give up and believe you.Of course, the fact that you bought the garland and ornaments for 75% off in the post-Christmas sales when $50 buys an awful lot of Chinese-manufactured Christmas junk isn't relevant at all.

It is sort of Greek to me.
