Seeing the same thing South of Cherry Creek (go figures).The lower price points and different areas seem to be enjoying a more stable environment. 30 day contracts, simple negotiations, etc.At this point, I'm not sure anyone knows what will happen with rates in the near future, but if they happen to come down, we are in for one heck of a ride...

I'll skip over that and give a very brief list of some other items I tell my students in the Airbnb class I teach here in Denver.

These have been boarded up places, I'm not talking Class B rentals here.

Guaranteeing steady pay attracts top candidates, and services like those provided by professionals such as Li can enhance your success.Consistency is key – create a work environment that you would want to show up to every day.

It takes 60 hours class, an exam and sponsorship from local REA.

I plan to save the rental income for reserves, screen tenants properly, buy in C+ to B class properties. 

Data and the political (and overall business) environment plays a huge role. 

@Michael Bishay you're mistaken if you think buying S8 rentals will make your portfolio easier to manage and more profitable.You're just trading one set of problems for another.But, you probably won't heed this advice:(So, yes, seeing if/how any Class C tenant has trashed their current home, will give you an idea of if/how they will trash yours is a great screening tool.We've been doing this for almnost 2 decades.The COVID mainstreaming of Zoom has made it so much easier!

We rely on classes and our entities have anywhere from a few dozen to hundreds of classes. 

The market rent puts all three together at approximately $2900 monthly.Costs behind the acquisition:Property taxes: $5000 yearlyInsurance estimate for all three: $3,300 yearlyC-class properties (not best location, their condition is about average - older properties)Purchase price: $250,000k$15k down and $235k seller financed at 6% interest for 30 years. 5-year PPP.
