In my humble opinion, it is far safer to avoid a rattlesnake, than to walk by it and assume that it will not strike.

Currently our community/county are growth oriented so it may be best to strike while the iron is hot.

Set a reasonable decibel limit in your lease and enforce it.By-the-room and "allows pets" strikes me as a bad recipe. 

Point 3, 6 and 7 strike me as particularly challenging. 

More to the point, a 9% cap for a hotel room doesn't immediately strike me as a slam dunk, especially if it is run-down. 

Being able to deduct a bullet proof vest as an operating expense strikes me as the most obvious benefit.

Hey allmoved to the chandler area and looking to get together with like minded investorsThe reason I chose chandler is for the low crime, great appreciation and the overall feel of the areaif your looking for a starter place I would choose the chandler, Gilbert areas for sure, the volatility right now is out of control due to the current situation, I'm waiting to get on board again after the next collapse which will be around September when the furlough ends and the next frenzy strikes before the election, don't invest based on emotion, watch the market

When I conduct analysis on markets across the US there's usually a consistent theme: the affordable places within striking distance to the urban core outperform. 

From that, we get our "Strike Price", which is our term for the highest amount we'll pay for the property.

The STR property manager that sole investment portfolio relies on those STR's can lose it all overnight with the strike of a city ordinance.
