I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

By wasting it on the DP you tie that money up for years.

"Chasing" after a tenant is not good business and will waste a ton of your time.

@Hamidou Keita I would recommend if duplexes are limited if you can get a 4-5 bedroom house and either rent by room for house hack or splitting a big house into 2 and adding a kitchenette and separate entrance as a more cost effective ROI option 

Tons of double sided tape used which results in a fair amount of extra effort to restore (most cases paint comes right off the wall requiring patching sanding etc, some cases Good-off was effective.

The calculator that we use can factor in what the effect would be if you earned less.

Would have to review documents about "waste" question.

Direct communication with the builder has been the most effective method in my experience.

He felt spending more time disputing the rejection was not cost effective and i see his point but suspect airbnb recognizes this and uses it to their advantage.  

You started with the $ you saved that had effect of securing just 1 property.
