Yeah, who knows, maybe he'll get featured on an upcoming episode of American Greed.Originally posted by @Chris Seveney:I share the sentiments of many on here.

If it's permissible then the #1 feature for top producing STR's is proximity to water.

My North Oakland units, purchased 2015, are all condos in a single complex = no rent control.

Here in Oregon we aim for 25-35% down for owner carried complexes.

Fees for this service can vary depending on your location and the complexity of the transfer.

Identify some sizzle features that are NOT expected in typical rentals in your market and look to add a couple (NOT ALL) and only the ones that are easiest to add (low hanging fruit).

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Have always owned homes but would consider a condo with an amazing view or unique features. 

I'll always choose the space that has a special feature or two like a fire pit, fire place, hot tub, nice deck for BBQ'ing, etc.

Upgrading these features can significantly enhance the appeal of your property and justify the higher rent you aim to charge.
