That being said there are also bad deals in any area, here included.I would run your numbers based on historical data from airbnb - pretty easy to check on airdna or even just going in the airbnb app and seeing not only what nightly rates look like for certain properties but what their occupancy is - from there you can estimate monthly revenue with a reasonable degree of accuracy and see if that lines up with your targeted returns.

We have 4 Bedrooms, so I didn't need to do a garage conversion, but instead went with a Star Wars themed game room.I put in a mini-split HVAC unit - it has been 110 degrees for the past 70 days. 

@Andrzej GajdaJust curious why people spends thousands and even tens of thousands on a training when you could get a masters degree from an accredited institution that will be 1000x more than you will ever learn from a guru.

So being that you seem set on going to college here's my advice,3 big thingswhile in college you can only do so muchwork part-time or intern with real estate agencies, property management companies, or real estate investors, which some colleges per degree may require an internship anyway.networkjoin campus real estate clubs and national organizations like the National Association of Realtors (NAR) or local real estate investment groups. 

My mom keeps hers at 68 due to health reasons so I figured give people an extra degree. 

How do you set this function: I would like guests to be able to manually control the heat/ac, but would like the range of temperatures allowed be between 68 + 78 degrees.

This is fair enough but when the income of the people transacting real estate has not changed to a considerable degree, it starts to feel unfair and you start to get push back. 

I am familiar with Dublin and Grove City, but would love to learn of other area.I would say a blend- Cash flow is key and ideally would like a property to appreciate to some degree.

Doesn’t solve the problem of budget but it would help solve stupid (to a degree at least).

Looks like you had it coming to some degree.
