Let's say it is a 2/2 in a trendy area that allows STR.

We've seen so many Denver metro area hoods shed their bad reputations in the last 20 years: Highland which was kind of rough then became hipsterville which spread to West Highland and now Sunnyside, Berkley, Sloan's Lake etc. in the Westerly direction, Five Points was basically considered a no-go zone 20 something years ago now it's almost fully been gentrified, RiNo was an industrial wasteland now it's obnoxiously trendy and Cole and Commerce City are in the path of progress in the Easterly direction...

My duplex is located in an up and coming trendy area and I always have a line out the door.

@Kent Hall My RUBS is on a three-unit in a trendy part of town where I end up renting to mostly young professionals.

Im invested in what I called the normal parts of the city, which about 60% or more, not the trendy areas.

I do, however, think the trend is only going to get worse over time.

In the trendy areas of KC, the market looks to be pretty active (e.g. properties have lots of reviews and only a small % of folks even leave reviews in the first place so you can tell that their occupancy is solid).Has anyone tried, or considered, the viability of buying a property solely for AirBnB rentals?

While Portland may have a few large buildings that fit the bill, the majority of housing is tiny shotguns which are not really trendy. 

The current trend is not de-accelerating.

With a 100k down she has cash on cash return of just over 10%.This is just one of many I have looked at; I’m assuming the trend is to over price and hope that an international or institutional invest comes along?
