For my area, looking to stay under $180k but could adjust slightly.

If you're just getting started, stay local.

A mere "pet" must either stay home or charged extra for. 

And while yes, no one has the same pricing (combination of factors), I also continue to check on a regular basis our rankings and how we "present" on total costs per stay vs. our competitors.My gut says there is price creep and we might have a ways to go before the market really corrects.

For fix and flips I want to stay away from total rehabs and focus on properties that need minor work such as kitchen, bathroom, paint, outdoor improvements, etc. 

Personally, I airbnb half of my house, individual rooms, and stay nearly 100% booked.

Change out the used sheets with fresh ones, then take the used ones off-site.

It's important to stay informed about developments in the areas you're considering, as well as any potential changes in regulations or economic conditions.

So if all stays static, that means at yr 10 you will have 100% return of your capital AND NOW you have net profit.
