Would even pay for their air ticket and help them buy a house.  

I wanted to buy a property live in it and then rent it out later on but in the DMV areas the housing market is extremely hot and people bid 20k over asking price on houses that only have 900sqft so I decided to get into Airbnb Rental Arbitrage not only because I'm unable to get a house but mainly because I've always wanted to get into Airbnb Rental Arbitrage but never really gave much thought to it.

I would have personally waited a bit to list in the spring when things are hot and everyone is over-bidding. 

Ok, so maybe I am not getting it but I have a hot water boiler with separate zones for each unit.

hmm, I definitely would like a video tour when booking air bnbs.

You can look at a mobile home and see it as an easy rental with new carpet, trim and some paint but there are other bigger uglier expenses that can come up.Roof Replacement, soft floors (water damage) in kitchens and bathrooms- most floors are particle board, exterior door replacement (special order), underbelly insulation falling, bad hot water tanks with rotten floor underneath (real joy), bad windows (water again), bad bloated siding (water), water damaged base frame around perimeter of home, cracked tubs (special orders) and frozen pipes (Good luck finding a plumber to come work on a mobile home- they do not exist). 

This includes, water, hot water, heat, air conditioning, cable, security system, snow removal, lawn care.

Hey Stuart, the mid-market is a pretty hot and affordable.

Quote from @Matthew Kwan: For those who are currently shopping or looking for a loan since rate cuts has been a hot topic.

Spokane has been a hot market for investing for awhile and local meetups and Facebook groups will be able to provide you the best information about what's working in your local market as well as any specific market risks / challenges.John
