AlabamaAlabama residents enjoy a low cost of living and a thriving economy.

My take on this discussion is this:Anyone can take whatever time and effort they want to argue that it doesn't / can't work (it does / can), or you can just do it and enjoy the benefits.It's not applicable to every situation - stop trying to force this square peg into a round hole.There's no "secrets", no "magic" to it.It's meant for situations where the way it works can help someone achieve their financial goals. 

would love to hear more about this, visited lisboa this past year and really really enjoyed it and the surrounding areas. 

The end of the world would be selling this to buy a cheaper asset than needs more work, do this all over again, to make the same money and lose a better asset.Slow down and work on this property and the rents and the maintenance, and also enjoy living there.

If you're negative and looking at potential deferred maintenance I'd sale it and enjoy the memories. 

Also, running a flip with no money and hoping you get a good return with all the other stuff going on in the background starts to add stress, and you end up not enjoying it.

I definitely enjoyed this thread, which is odd since I don’t have a short term rental, but I guess a good argument can keep a reader in suspense.

Because this is the business we've built together, we enjoy working together, we each have roles that reduce the work load on the group and personally I like that the risk is spread out.

I'm sure many people on here have spoken about this, but I just wanted to bring this discussion back as it is a part of my job that I enjoy and see benefit to others from it.

I hope you enjoy small towns that lack diversity.I am sure Dayton has some real estate meetups.
