Especially when I saw the high rankings on Airdna for DFW and started to dig into the highest performing listings and sub markets around the area.

You can advertise historic performance.  

People who have service dogs (or horses, as these are the only 2 service animals) that are genuine have no issue disclosing that on the front end and can answer the 2 questions easily - is the animal necessary for a disability, and what specific tasks has the dog (or horse, if you're getting one of those) been trained to perform? 

Even if rents are trending up, if your tenant base can't make ends meet, the asset won't perform.

was looking to add brand new SFH to my portfolio.

I even do write ups on my blog where I share their performance and outline the challenges I faced with each one.Why do I do this?

Brand new everything else, including septic system too.

Square footage is roughly 1600 sqft.Could use minor cosmetic rehab on the outside to make it look pretty, inside is brand new however. 

>How well do log cabins in the area tend to perform in terms of bookings?

We are in Los Angeles, and although we do not own anything in SD, we hold a loan on a portfolio of SFR's there that is not performing at the moment.
