That’s just smart, strategic thinking.

@Sebastian AlborsIn my experience, buying a single-family home (SFH) in Asheville and house hacking with a family member like your brother can be a smart way to balance costs.

But if I had a lot more liquid capital and had the choice, I would buy newer ones.

But, all payments with Baselane goes via Stripe gateway, and they apparently have no choice but to honor those requests due to their agreement with Stripe.

Get listed on all the OTA’s and a direct booking site, use good management software like HostAway, use dynamic pricing software like pricelabs, use WiFi enabled smart locks like Schlage encode, use an email capture system for guests to login to WiFi like stayfi, use those captured emails to do marketing for your direct booking site, and automate scheduling and payments for cleaners and maintenance.

You have a few choices, right. 

You might want to limit your visits though to avoid escalation.Short term if the smart lock is on his personal door just change it to a key if it's isn't working for him, you can always switch back later.

So, an area might have been D class 20 years ago and is C class today in terms of what the property condition, crime etc show you BUT if the tenants still stigmatize the area in their mind then mostly D class tenants will be applying there because they have less choices.

Smart tech, such as fast Wi-Fi, streaming services, and keyless entry, consistently gets positive feedback, as do luxury bathroom additions like plush towels and rain showers.

Note: This could happen NOT by your choice with a layoff.
