Nice to see Zillow agreeing with every sales person from Buffalo LOL.Buffalo is a good market to invest long term if you get a good property, on a good street, in good condition.  

No problem, I had cash from a refi, a HELOC, and a personal LOC.

I used the think lowering the price would attract "worse guests" but I have experienced bad guests at all price points. 

Signing the lease demonstrates they agree to the terms and then you can hold them accountable.If you don't do this, then the person named on the lease and paying the rent could disappear and you would have no legal authority to charge the remaining three for unpaid rent.

Do you have anyone experienced in AirBNB/SRT to learn from and help you analyze?

You’re going to be personally sued no matter the cause of the loss.

Personally, i would be cautious telling the majority of experienced owners/hosts they are wrong without rock solid data and evidence.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/530/topics/1155394-have...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/530/topics/1155264-afte... 

@Reyna AyalaI personally feel this is overkill.

I lived there from 2017 to 2022 and personally witnessed significant changes during that time.

I’d love to connect with experienced investors, agents, and property managers to deepen my understanding of the strategies and markets.
