Could this potentially throw off my estimated revenue, occupancy, and daily rate numbers to skew them higher than they should be?

I am assuming in this that normal cleaning was done pre-occupancy and they are excessive in their expectations.

So I decided to go to my listing every day and change little things (upload a new picture, switch the order of the pictures, change the title of the property, add more or different info in the about section and edit price) The next day, we went from 0 bookings in January to 71% occupancy! 

New occupants will be coming soon, but in a 3 family, i have set of excellent student tenants that renewed.That said, many landlord insurance policies have exclusions for students, so I am trying to gather info on updating a policy to consider the fact that the building is only going to be 33% student occupied.  

I've been thinking about this for awhile but unsure how the exact mechanics work. Stability: Homeowners tend to stay in their homes longer than renters, which can create a more stable environment for families and chil...

You'll be competing on price with owner occupants who are not running the arithmetic like an investor, so you'll often end up overpaying and losing out on any potential cashflow.I'm also 25, and it's great to see other young guys getting started and building wealth. 

Cash flow can be great if you manage it well and keep occupancy rates high, but factor in the added costs of management, cleaning, and potential vacancy dips.

Most banks don't really know how to do that because they cater to SFH owner-occupants. 

Hi Ven, I personally consider properties that at least cash flow with full occupancy. 

If you're looking for strong cash flow, the Midwest—places like Ohio or Detroit—can be great options due to lower property prices and higher rent-to-price ratios.On the other hand, higher appreciation markets, such as California, come with higher entry costs but often provide significant equity growth, even in the short term, if you buy wisely.If you're considering short-term rentals (STRs), your focus should be on factors like occupancy rates, average nightly rates, and regulations in the area.
