I just don’t know what the long term play is with these.

You've probably heard of big Landlords losing property, but only because they were flagrantly violating Fair Housing, running a slum, or otherwise violating the law in an egregious manner.

Also, some lenders can do "no ratio" dscr loans but cash flow does play big part in pricing so keep that in mind. 

You might have been able to get the tax sale cancelled in not, but at the same time you might have made out just as well the way it played out.   

If all they are is the " bank" well 20%ish seems fair. 

I still play the DIY game a lot, even when it's not the best use of my time.

You can even have both meet and play nice in the sandbox.

The property easily can be monitored from a mobile phone, tablet, laptop and/or desktop, and the software has screenshot and video capture capabilities, as well as the user being able to access and play historical footage from all or selected cameras simultaneously, if incidents need to be researched.What was the outcome?

What kills me are the mailings I get from investors offering to buy my house for a "fair price."  

You can just look for houses you like and run the numbers rather than focusing on small areas.As far as AirBnB, our market is fairly saturated so you really have to operate at a high level to stand out and/or have a really excellent location.
