I've toyed around with the idea of doing a value-add/BRRRR boutique hotel and doing STR for that, but the numbers just don't make sense in Nashville/middle TN (right now).

The current patio and walkways around the house are all concrete, but look a little rough and are all mismatched, so I'd like to replace them.I want it to look nice since I'm spending a lot of money ($100k) renovating the rest of the house, but I also know tenants with kids can absolutely destroy pavers with their bikes and toys -- so I'm a little torn.Should I install pavers or just use concrete for the patio and walkway?

Now that there's been no movement, take it off the market and put it back on in March (or mid-Feb if you need to).  Yes

I've been toying with the idea of asking for a higher split of the commission.

We have a placard in the home with the company and the toys they rent. 

Just ask the people that owned a Block Buster or Toys r Us in a bad to fair location.

Does it have the ability to: Yes. 

@Alexander Achim, A property that actually almost meets the fabled 1% rule of yesteryear?? 

Liability coverage is relatively inexpensive, so max out this coverage on your auto / home / toys and then follow it up with a properly sized umbrella policy.

I'm toying around with several ways of financing the property right now but most of that is besides the point.
