I'm 60 so don't want to take the chances that I would if I was 30. 

But it is my opinion you should try Airbnb, VRBO, booking.com and FlipKey and give it a chance to see if it is adding business.

If you have a contractor that you are asking to come back to do/fix stuff to finalize the job and you still owe him 80% of total balance its a pretty good chance that they will come finish everything to your standards even if they have to come back several times to do it.

There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.

REI is an ever changing landscape and you're chances for success are greater when you learn from and hear from others who have the experience.

Class action lawsuits might still be a practical solution to the problem, but, if the statute of limitations is not waived, there is no chance of combining the original cases as their time to file has run out.

Chance of deal success needs to be high- 95%+.

So even with me living in the 2/1 it cash flows just barely (at least on paper) but it looks pretty good once I would move out.

There’s also a small chance this means “not done/not attempted”. 

I want happy campers in my network - you've helped reiterate any deal can be good at the right purchase price.Huh, well, that is a kudos on your level of research or you've got some serious luck on your side because as chance has it I have experience working both with organizations similar to what you described and in leasing by the room.
