It's a perfect winter project for me. 

There are other options as well such as homestyle, and choice Reno - happy to connect!

Sounds like you made the right choice!

@John Lasheri agree with you, you'd be surprised at how many people listen to Grant Cardone though, and decide that they're going to go buy a 100 unit with 'OPM' as their first deal and quit their job.i think buying something of that size with a few partners is a perfectly good goal. 

So shift your expectations to most of the cash out and you'll be good and you'll actually start buying deals, versus people who wait for the perfect deal, spin their wheels for 6 months terminating contracts/analyzing hundreds of places, and then eventually burn out and give up. 

If you're looking for steady rental income, Cleveland could be a solid choice.

Responding quickly, like you do, definitely makes guests feel valued and reassured.I think the choice between automation and personal interaction depends a lot on the host's availability and scale.

Housing is just the perfect example of this.

I'm currently renovating my rear unit and it has the perfect layout to split into 2 units by adding a wall and an additional front door.

So @Mike S. is providing the perfect solution for you.
