Feel the fear and do it anyways is one of my motto's also a very great book!

I am not looking to weigh in with my expertiese but I am nothing more than the football fan who yells at his TV about what the quarterback should have done. 

I have been reading Brandon Turner's "The Book on Rental Property Investing" and have learned a lot but I wanted to get on here and ask for advice from everyone.

Leverage your skills in market analysis and automation, define your investment goals, and continue learning through books, podcasts, and webinars.

The best area really depends on your goals—whether you’re looking for steady year-round bookings, high seasonal demand, or strong appreciation.

No garage door opener, no window treatments, no ceiling fans.

I definitely agree that it's so easy to fall in the trap of paralysis analysis and reading books and listening to podcasts.

Airbnb claims that setting up a "photo tour" on your listing will increase bookings by 6 percent, for example.  

I would check and see how many 1 bed and 2 bed options there are and what they are priced at because most folks will prefer the full place to themselves so rooming 2 people together could make getting bookings a bit more difficult (not always the case but something to consider)

I highly recommend the book real estate by the numbers.
