Apparently that doesn't disqualify you to be president though and unfortunately there is no IQ test to vote, maybe more people should get into politics.I was in Lowe's yesterday picking up a blind for a rental house I just finished and leased.  

If you are going to test the market with a new standard, be patient.  

Everyone knows who the new person is and the goal is always to mess with them and test them and try to get them to spend their money on the junk so we can get the good ones. 

@Stephen Keighery makes a point that it may not be a good time to sell, but I recommend you test the market. 

I work with a lot of MTR investors and what I am seeing frequently with multifamily acquisitions, particularly with new investors, is that they often test the property just like you're mentioning, as a way to dip their toes in the water and see what works in their area and for their personal style.

Either way, I wouldn't put the AirBNB terms of service to the test.

If you want more cash flow deals you may want to look outside of Boston and test out some new markets where you're hitting closer to the range of returns you're looking for. 

We can use the original part of the house for rental as well, which is valuable to help use understand the STR rental market better, ie what income we actually get as all we have current is the airbnb site itself and airdna (an airbnb analytics site).In short I think the downside is limited, and this deal with give valuable experience while testing my beliefs that it will make me some money!

I would test one as MTR and maybe one as STR, depending on your market.For those of us who know Sacramento, there's actually quite a lot of information to go on in here.

In the case of GEG, we let our members know we did not have a track record with them - they were new to us and just being tested - and therefore it was even more important to perform thorough due diligence since we can't be involved in the transaction.
