And when the company you're suing has shut down and apparently has no money, is it even worth the effort?

What brand on Airbnb would even have enough perceived value to make it all worthwhile?

They are always leased here even for the corporate stations where they have a convenience store, a Popeyes or the like and a car wash.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

Thank you Eric.In addition to the rental properties, my wife and I have a paid off house, paid off car, and about $1.4m in retirement accounts, brokerages, and savings.We live in a HCOL area and our expenses are $9.5k per month even though we live pretty modestly.I set out initially to have real estate pay for at least some of my expenses in order to give me more freedom and financial security.Is your wife quitting too?

This next investment for us will be our first venture into STRs (or even a MTR).
