This platform has played such a key role in my journey over the years.

Columbus is going to be more of an appreciation play and cash flow margins will be tighter in the beginning. 

So it can be good for cash flow and building in tighter spaces but it is less of a equity play in today's market if you're looking to sell right away

Keep track of those costs this year, they come into play in 2025 when it's in service.

I am also curious about when/how an attorney/legal involvement comes into play with this.

Plus, having a fully paid-off property could be a nice safety net if the STR market takes a hit or occupancy slows down.On the flip side, if you’re eager to grow, saving for another property could be the better play.

We want to buy an arcade machine for our STR that plays a bunch of different games.

Sidenote: I am a note investor and play in this space as my full time job, so I am not some crackhead. 

When they hit me up, obviously doing 0 research because they threat me as Mr No-name Homeowner, I just go with it and play along to see how and where it goes. 

It's a forced equity and appreciation play with the benefit of personal use and the hope that 100% bonus depreciation comes back.
