I am not a fan of Airbnb's tool.

@Edward Toomey V,   agree; NOT a fan.

I have sold a couple of businesses as well, and speaking from experience, you are never more vulnerable to make a mistake than when you are sitting on a giant pile of cash.Also, I agree with @Corey Conklin - I'm a big fan of "overflow cities/towns" in the sun belt.

I'm a big fan of lakefront properties as vacation rentals, and the area these cabins are in is popular for tourists, so I felt confident in the deal.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

One of them hired a landscape guy, well, the landscape guy never came so I was paying $140 per month for nothing for about 7 months.The other property manager didn't tell the tenants they were responsible to replace the ac filter, that bill was $1000 to replace the AC fan motor.I am really afraid of blowing off the money.

I am a big fan of Brightside.  

So I'm a fan of buying in the path of progress from here since it's starting to expand outwards into cheaper neighborhoods.

I’m also a big fan BTR developments, especially horizontal apartments.

@Matthew Posteraro I'm a big fan of starting with the 5% options. 

We have even first-responder equipment ready (carpet fans, dehumidifier, puddle sucker pump etc) to deal with the issue quickly and curb the damage, before we get the contractors in to do the repairs.
