Maybe the tenant set the thermostat high? 

I see two high end homes for rent, 50k, 70k, 210k per month..

then rent out each room where possible3) Buy an apartment with little to no HOA (hard), and rent out by room to save up more to make the next step.

Highly reccomend joining local investor Facebook groups.

Gradually scale by researching high-growth markets, partnering with experienced investors, and exploring financing options like SBA loans.

In my observation here in Santa Rosa, the first lots out of the gate that sold went for too high of a price. 

Since Airbnb remits at the state level when I see high numbers (or low) of what I am remitting for other OTAs/direct I then drill down to make sure listings are optimized on all channels.

I was going to buy a owner occupied duplex with 3.5% down then buy an investment property using 25% down but my DTI ratio would not qualify for both mortgages in the same year unless I used a dscr loan but then the interest rate would be very high, and it'd be hard to make a deal work using a dscr loan because of that.

they won't pay super high in that area according to my experience. 2bed is paying 650 to 750 let me know if you manage to get higher than that.

The only exception I use is when the property is a high-end unit.Informative title makes your property look like a cheap business but it is still way better than common titles like cute, adorable, cozy.If you are charging over 1k per night, I think it is better to give more high-end title like Stay with 30,000 trees, tingle your inner artist with lake front retreatJust my opinion :)
