And when people get tunnel vision for lowest $ down, they tend to not give attention to the revenue generation of it, the operations, and that's a VERY dangerous combination of high leverage and not so-good revenue. 

House may continue to appreciate.Cons: Not sure how the revenue plays against social security, Medicare & taxes.

Hardly ‘revenue grade’...

According to AirDNA, the analytics broken down are a 60% occupancy with a gross revenue of $32,000.00 in my 1st year.

I have experience using DSCR loans that calculate the STR revenue to purchase smaller single family homes.

What are some creative revenue generating strategies that you all have explored?

I have seen properties show up as far as ~$50k lower in annual revenue than in realized income, so know that the numbers aren't always perfect!

No idea if it is accurate or if anything has changed since then, but it indicated the following:PROGRAM 1 Owner use up to 2 weeks 50% of Adjusted Gross Standard FF&E in high season & 2 weeks Revenues from the Unit and accessory in low season package required.

I would focus on shorter-term activities to generate revenue (flipping, wholesaling, etc.)

I plan to occupy one of the basement rooms while short term renting the upstairs on AirBNB / Vrbo for additional revenue.
