However, the vacancy is really low in my area and prices are really high so it’s a gamble most house hackers take.

The alternative would be to find someone unlicensed/unbonded whish would be cheaper, but would be a gamble.

If you aren't willing to learn that investment asset, then you can either:1. find someone you trust to help you invest into that asset2. put money in low/no risk investment assets and just accept the low return3. blindly go into an investment asset and basically gamble.

With leverage you are using the houses money to gamble and not yours.

Your luck may be better and you are not assigned to the jokers I dealt with, but it would not be worth the gamble for me.

Aloha Suzanne,  it think that its going to be difficult to find and on/off shore appointment setters who are willing to work on a commission basis. 

I will take less profit in a hotter area that sells faster than gambling on a small town/slow area with "potential" for higher profits.  

I don’t know the person, but I would think you could afford to gamble $525.

Better to accept today's rates over waiting and gambling on lower rates in 2023. 

Short term rental is always a larger gamble with more headaches than a long term rental.
