With that being said, the interest rate is going to be the single biggest determining factor for whether you're barely breaking even, or seeing a decent monthly cash flow.

At least for me the biggest complaints are my staff, visitors, etc. parking in front of their house. 

I would just take into account that a lower down payment will mean a higher monthly payment so be sure to run the numbers conservatively in order to ensure your STR revenue is able to carry your monthly payment with this higher mortgage cost. 

pretty warm right now, biggest problem is most of our inventory has been bought so we are waiting on more multifamilies to hit the market.

Typically, if they can make it work as an STR they go that route because it almost always generates the most revenue.

that is more a RV park. the MBH parks down here. we typically own the land, lot, and trailers. there is a reason but long story short, if i just own the lot and they dont pay the fee. i do not have the biggest teeth to push the need for my money. but if i own it all, my experience says it is a better path

But, we recognize that the experience you were having, multiple months without revenue and no clear time frame to be fixed, is not a typical experience with our company, and when and where we can help, we will.Our team didn't follow up as we said we would, so you asked us for updates instead of how we plan to operate, which is updating you proactively. 

Your comment does bias me slightly in favor of Indy, since at least we're talking about a manageable car ride.That said, I'd love to know the biggest mistakes you've seen - how do neophytes typically "crash and burn?"

I understand the concept how you have described your services above but the home was not "rent ready" or had the number of rooms advertised and that is the biggest issue here.Our contract was about a year ago and the reason why I am responding now is for two reasons 1) to warn other buyers and 2) because a potential buyer of yours actually reached out to me and suggested that I post my story on this platform.Keep on responding Katee.

Biggest thing is cash position.
