People have a hard enough time doing a BRRRR minus the air bnb portion and vice versa doing an air bnb minus the value add.

Focus on a market that has a good balance of cashflow and appreciation (some markets have great cash flow but very little appreciation or vice versa). 

Then you could keep an eye on the larger house you're renting out - or vice-versa. 

i couldn't tell you RI over MD, or vice versa, since I don't know much about you.  

If the company leadership is failing step-up because being an equity partner means it's your company now too so who cares who or how the idiot captains got it on the rocks let's focus on getting it the hell off and sailing before it's ripped apart and sinks to the ocean floor, right.

So a deal that look great to one investor will look horrible to another and vice versa.

I may not be their biggest client but they take me seriously and often when I’m at the branch the vice-president will come out of his office to say hello and see how I’m doing.

I also lived in the more dated unit so I could get better rent out of the other apartment than if it were vice versa.

The operator's track record may not align with your goals (you are long term cash flow play, they are sell and redeploy, or vice versa).
