This industry standard has been adopted over the past several years, and during that same tenure cap rates have compressed mainly due to a decrease in interest rates.

I don't think you see nightly rates increasing either - I think you actually see a decrease in rates due to the competition and peak from 2-3 years ago. 

You can either buy it out in points or have a higher rate for a decreased PPP.

I'm assuming that once these platforms become more accepted as just another asset class (no different then mutual funds) to invest in for one's retirement (and I do believe we're going that direction) the restrictions on who they let fundraise on their sites will actually decrease a bit as the occasional blow up will do far less damage once RE crowdfunding has a lengthy track record. 

His mortgage is less but all he is doing is decreasing living expenses, not building wealth. 

In this discussion, we all agreed that for one property unit, the expected rate will be 10% and then it can decrease as the client adds more units or volume.

For example, will your monthly expenses decrease, increase or remain the same?

And you avoid the property decreasing in value because of higher Hoa fees. 

When evaluating a neighborhood for potential price appreciation, always consider these indicators: new businesses, infrastructure projects, increasing employment opportunities, highly-rated schools, decreasing crime rates, and proximity to parks and cultural attractions.

And FWIW, after managing tons of cleaning vendors for HUD and others in my past life, my approach is that you get what you pay for, that you should pay a little more than the average for your market if you want your cleaner to be a partner to your business (and that such will pay for itself), that you should thank and appreciate them often, that you should make them feel free to reach out for bonus requests but also should decrease the frequency of such by not reducing their comp when they encounter easier-than-normal cleanings, and that you should pay them immediately after the cleaning.
