I'm in the process of replacing my siding.Does anybody know if there's better resale value for vinyl clapboard or vinyl dutch lap siding?

.- Furnishings and Decor: High-quality, durable items are worth the initial investment.- Insurance: Short-term rental insurance (beyond renters') can protect you from guest-related risks.- Licensing or Permits: Check if your area requires permits, as some cities have fees for short-term rental operators.Breakeven Analysis: To calculate your breakeven occupancy rate, add all monthly expenses (rent, utilities, cleaning, insurance, etc.).

With new builds you have to watch for developers building in TI's with inflated rents on the resale.

My questions are:- is it worth investing there in terms of the safety of tenants?

Then, you need to keep managing your payments to actually have savings to make it worth while.  

You can’t argue that it’s not worth the price you paid.

So you are putting in various inputs/assumptions, like gross revenue (total sales prices of homes) less soft costs, hard costs, city fees, desired profit margin (i.e. 15% of gross revenue) = residual value (what the land is worth).

Your personal financial situation (tax records/bank statements and personal financial net worth statement)3.

@Jeremy Hartwig, I know this is a slightly glib answer, but property is worth what a willing buyer and willing seller can agree on.You can use cap rates, but admittedly those can be useless too, for similar reasons that Kevin outlined.  

Money today is worth MORE than money in the future.
