As for the investing side of things, Vegas is experiencing some major growth in real estate and even now as the country as a whole is in a slow-down or market is definitely and hot and still a sellers market which is what you're looking for in terms of appreciation.

Is this due to the varying climate of each market, hot or cold (in terms of home pricing), or could it be due to cultural mismatches with the message?

There’s major renovations that would need to happen over time like new kitchen remodels in a few of the units as well as maybe replace one of the hot water units and one of the boilers.

(One Airbnb client of mine outside Denver added a hot tub and barrel sauna and outperforms his competition by nearly 40%.)

My tenant is clearing out right now, and at the rate he has been packing and moving, I think he will be gone within 24 hours.I'm tempted to throw an air tag on his car, so I can have knowledge of his new whereabouts for this purpose. 

The problem is that these bad guys are always going to exist, it's like trying to kill ants during a really hot/dry season, there are just more and more of them, and while we need to stand up to them to a certain extent, I personally don't want to give them too much of my bandwidth, I feel the world needs our talents doing the stuff we are good at.

.- remember that you'll be paying all utilities if you rent by the room, so factor that into what you charge for rent, and consider using remotely-controlled nest thermostats so they can't jack the heat up beyond what any normal person would pay for (if you're in a cold area). the same could be said for a home with central air in a warmer climate.- consider baking into the rest biweekly housekeeping, so that you know that the property is being kept up with (prevents pest issues), and you won't have to deal with any quarrels over who's cleaning the common areas more than who.- always have the parents co-sign the lease.- make a manual for them. what would your own kids be calling you about when they first move out on their own?

Your lack of concern for what your lack of knowledge can do to them, hiding behind the false narrative that you are helping them with your "investment strategy" is going to land you in hot water some day.You don't need to justify your actions to me but let's just hope you don't get put in front of a judge to justify them to the courts.

I have a guy who has an avionics business that wants mezzanines built for office space, technician training rooms, rest rooms and etc..You actually hit on a great opportunity that is currently out of my budget limits and that is Air Park development.  

Welcome to BP - lots of people have definitely had success in the SC market for short term rentals - Myrtle Beach is showing up on a lot of hot STR market lists too this year
