Way to many investors were buying properties for more then they were worth with hopes of collecting MUCH MORE than market rent.

They can only collect the admin fee which is roughly $150/yr.  

If they fail to pay, then you can choose to try eviction or just hold the charges until the end of their lease and collect it from their deposit.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Is it a bad idea to invest in properties where you would be able to collect rent that is equal or a little less than your mortgage payment?

The interest rate is nice, if there was a way to increase the cash flow to ~15% or greater COC you could pull a HELOC on the property for 9% and collect the delta.again though, i would suggest selling it and trying to lock up a property or two with the proceeds that required some sweat equity, force appreciation through a reno, rent it out, refinance and repeat (BRRRR)

I also wonder if some hosts only list during football season and then transition to mid-term rentals (MTRs) the rest of the year.New Tax Changes Coming in January 2025Starting January 2025, Airbnb will automatically collect and remit the 5% tourist tax for Gainesville.

What if they have collections or judgments?

Otherwise, I would sit on that property collect the cash flow and seek out great opporunities.
