So if the potential resident wants to drag their feet, but another party books on AirBnB, then that's just unfortunate for the FF lead. 

Self-driving cars are potentially amazing, but they need to capture a lot of nuance and complexities.

Finding a condo that allows Airbnb/STR will be challenging, they're rare and cost more because of it. 

I've seen estimates that are off by 300% when all said and done (e.g. the original bid was $10k but the final cost was closer to $30k).

The mistake could be costly.

It cost $38,000 for the framer to take on the risk and do the work - and that does not include the cost of the GC, or architect, or plumber that was also required!)  

Additionally, the cost to create a business here is not as inexpensive as the United States, in some cases it can cost thousands of dollars to setup. 

You won't find a deal where you live for free, but if you can live in a great neighborhood at a reduced cost of living that is a nearly risk free way to get started in real estate. 

I would include servicing costs of the loan and licensing costs.

So an identical neighborhood (income, crime, school quality, etc.) can cost you as much as a $100k less on the South side simply because your neighbors are brown or black as opposed to white.this right here is the gem advice.
