And let me not forget to mention, it’s MUCH more affordable. 

Stick to durable, affordable furniture, and you’ll have your Airbnb running smoothly and raking in solid income in no time!

Areas like Ohio seem to be mentioned quite a bit on the message boards for better affordability.  

It's a more affordable market and lower property taxes, so you may actually have a chance to cash flow.

These are becoming very affordable from retailers like Home Depot and Floor and Decor, and they really set you apart from builder-grade homes!

Many successful investors started small, such as with house hacking or buying affordable properties to rent out.

Or try the reverse - rehab a property to Class A standards in a Class D neighborhood and try to get a Class A or B tenant to rent it.Unfortunately, many newbie real estate investors are jumping into buying affordable Class C rentals - expecting Class A results.

Getting pre-approved you'll know how much you can afford. 

If there is a large amount of equity, one party may have to buy out the other - if they cant afford it/cant qualify, then the property is sold.I deal with this frequently with mortgages.
