How the house photographs gets more eyes on it.

Extra set of eyes, second opinion and diversity of your own investments

An extra $30/stay isn't enough for me to have to make myself a zombie on Benadryl in order to sleep there and not wake up with my eyes swollen shut because someone let their dog sleep in the bed.4) I think it's been priced too low.

@Cyndi Lees the thing that catches my eye in your post is that it would require quite a bit of work to get it started as a rental.

The problem is, all the ones I've seen, you have to keep your collateral funded or they start selling off your stake in order to keep it at a certain percent, so you have to keep an eye on it.

When buildings like this do come up, it's usually placed on the MLS, but you're gonna need to keep an eye on the market for long stretches of time.
