To put things bluntly, I LOVE having command of that high-ground, with a tenant who credit matters, that mitigates so many negative potentials.

There are much better areas that command higher rents than this part of Gentilly.

I always had great conversation with people at my different commands. some would listen to me ramble on about how great it was to invest and seemed interested but many never pulled the trigger.

I'm not even sure you could command that appreciation in London, England. 

From what I read, the STR race lately has been predominantly towards the best-looking, amenity rich asset that commands higher ADR.

And people who check all 3 boxes that I mentioned are very rare, so they command and are worth a premium. 

Do they command higher rental rates? 

The numbers don’t jive to me as a rental that commands 1.7k ( really 1200 when you take out the 500mo you are paying) should be worth way more than 67k ARV.

Ex) If you're looking at a house that costs $50k, you'd want the monthly rent you can command to be in the neighborhood of $1000.

Think about contacting the Commands and set up a deal.
