Even when they are dating or best friends, the relationship almost always decays.

It has an anti landlord leasing rules, and an incredibly high violent crime rate.I am from Illinois originally, I just see a lot of decay along with a terribly corrupt political system and wonder if Chicago/Illinois isn't the next failing city/state. 

Hopefully enough people will get tired of seeing the decay elsewhere; and participate in turning the state around. 

I have a 2 night minimum as my standard stay requirement, but this changes as time starts to decay on my calendar. 

I think a lot of new investors look at the allure of STR and see the big revenue numbers and forget how much damage your house and your furniture and your furnishings will take with guest after guest after guest staying in your houseIf you let your house and the furniture and the furnishings fall into a state of decay, what originally started as a big moneymaker will instead become a constant source of guest complaints and bad reviews and headaches and sleepless nights (for you & your guests!)

My plan is to purchase a 2-4 unit property in either Manchester, NH or Nashua, NH and follow the BRRRR strategy guidelines using either hard money or private money to help fund the down payment (or the full purchase price depending on the state of decay).
