Akron ohio isn't the best city in america for short term rentals that's crazy. it's not in the top 50 and i'ts a very struggling ohio market. it's not even top 5 in ohio. 

Deductible expenses include renovation costs, loan interest, and holding costs.

I have some buy and hold rentals and have never done a BRRRR.

If you’re focused on long-term wealth and passive income, holding onto the property could work well.

That will give me a gross profit of 20% minus holding and commissions.

Does anyone have any experience with short term rentals in PCB?

I think there's a path to refinance that would flip me into positive cash flow, but I'm coming up short on ideas. 

Quote from @Joy Daniels: I manage short-term rentals in the Sarasota area, and I'm always looking for innovative ways to boost occupancy rates year-round.From your experience, what marketing strategies have had the biggest impact on keeping your properties booked?

There are cheaper markets that your current savings would go further and possibly provide better opportunity (almost definitely in the short term).

Let's say $300k, you then agree to the purchase price but add your own terms (ex. 0% interest, 5% down, 16 years to pay back).This way, you're paying (example) $1,800/month but renting the property for $2,400/month and pocketing the difference.Anyone have success doing such a thing?
