Happy to provide more info or photos.

Over priced, layout is awkward, junky neighbors, back on market/under contract multiple times, bad photos, bad timing(got buried from other listings, weather occurrence, etc). 

This is the piece savvy investors know how to do to unlock outsized profits..Thanks Greg.

Here's a decent video teaching you how to take marketing photos.

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

I’m curious about your property type, amenities, photos, and reviews etc.

I document my inspection with photos so the condition is recorded from that point forward.

Here are some photos during Reno and after.  

The marketing copy and photo captions, professional photos, and weekly activity on the OTA listing, makes a big difference in bookings.

Hey @Mike Nelson, never assume anything about STR rules and regs.Here is the STR rules for Oak Park - https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/oakparkil/latest/oakpa...I would call the city and make sure it is legal for a specific property.Now regarding the famous person angle, sure it can add value to the property or as a STR, but for STR use, I would think you would need it to be in original condition with a lot of the furniture and knick-knacks that were owned by the famous person along with a bunch of photos etc featuring the famous person.If you buy a place that has been totally redone but was owned by someone famous but has no features or things that were theirs, then I don't see it being a draw.
