I like that you pointed out all the positives and negatives for a fair balanced post that will help other investors evaluate future options.I have been posting for a while on how hard the North Alabama market has become, and this post shows a good example of it. 

@Shawn Tuma & @Chris KayVery difficult in today's market to cashflow putting 0% down:(5-10 years ago it was possible, but prices have increased faster than rents.Your best bet is to find a property that needs work, but will still pass a VA appraisal/inspection. 

If you used a loan to rehab your property and find yourself in a difficult position, doing a straight refi (just paying off the old mortgage) will be easier than trying to pay off the original loan and take additional cash out.

I had enough food to get by.And I had to deal with a worldwide pandemic slowing down the economy when it came time to list my house.But life has a great way of balancing out the good and bad.

Then go for a rug that mixes those colors together well (you also really need a coffee table to fill the space and something vertical like a floor lamp to help balance out the different window sizes.)

Below are a few areas and things to look for if you're exploring investing in an AirBnB on the Oregon Coast.Most notably, the heart of the Oregon Coast in Lincoln City STR permits will be more difficult to come by.

This will happen in a market with balanced supply and demand, in a monetary system like the US, with fiat currency targeting 2% inflation.- In some markets, that are growing quickly, with great jobs and lots of inbound migration, this could be a little higher - like 4-5% per year over long time periods as demand outpaces supply.

Exploring other options like Appfolio or Apartments.com which might offer the balance of support and functionality you need, is a sensible approach.

The bigger point is that if you use Walmart, Lowes or some other big box paint the base colors can and do change which will make touch-up difficult.

Balancing that with wanting to do something to maintain affordable housing for those in mid to lower income brackets.
