However, I think some upcoming life changes may be the right opportunity for me to dip my toes in the water in real estate investing.I live in Pflugerville, TX (25 minutes from downtown Austin) and will soon be moving to Portland, OR, for my dream job.

So, specifically I am still curious how someone would change their approach to branding/hosting from 2 STRs that are SFHs to a 10 cabin property.

STR markets are tough and change fast, best of luck!

Sad that NY isn't taking advantage of expensive hotels to get most of the US traffick to stay on US side and just do a day visit to Canada side and come back.I don't know why small towns change their STR rules and make restrictions.

Not even Balance Sheet.I don't know if they changed their model since the change of subscription plan but it isn't ideal to use it as depreciation or amortization.They do have a balance sheet. 

He was very open and amenable to any changes I may propose to their contracts (pending their own counsel review). 

That term is generally used when zoning has change, such that it if the structure were destroyed, it could not be built back. 

Columbus presents a little different type of investing from Cleveland but you can still find good properties that will give you some cashflow each month (not life changing but with your goal of 100 doors then it'll add up eventually).

I would personally not copy and change other people's 'intellectual property'.

Changed the cash deal to a mortgagee, would only fund $179,000 of the $190,000 (appraisal came in at $202,000) for cost of house, and then wouldn't fund to a partnership, only an LLC or corporation.
