No debt, they bought this place for like 200k in early 90s, quite old people. im not sure if they will be alive for the 7yr term but they chose it..The reason im putting so much down is im buying w gift money and i want low monthly payments.

Would your STR business even exist without Airbnb?  

Some people like Yardi and some like the next one. 

In Oak Park, we have had people like Ray Kroc, Ernest Hemingway, Bob Newhart, Sam Gianncana, Betty White. 

Does anyone know about Tupelo for Business?

Looking to connect with people who have some local knowledge of Detroit.

And don't forget, states don't have 4-profit business to create wealth, no money-tree out in a yard to shake, states $ is from THE PEOPLE, so that $50 Billion is all Californians paying for it.  

I still think that the appreciation question boils down to the "Do people with options want to live here?"

Just my personal opinion - get a mentor or a person who already has good experience running STR business, preferably in your area (but not 100% required). 

Plenty of people do have 10-20 unit and work thru it, you just need to think it thru and have a plan if you don't want to do all the work.
