For me it’s been a blessing and money well spent.

If you don’t want to spend money I’m pretty sure you could get someone to grade the surrounding dirt and add some gutters for your $5k discount and gain you will have added value and come out ahead.

I bought this property with a private interest free loan from a friend. the person i bought it from need cash fast so i offered them a low cash offer and they accepted.I had enough money saved up to rehab the house with my savings.

Which ok, I get it, ACH cost money, BUT, RentRedi does not give the landlord the option to pay that. 

We are all about saving money on flips and renovation efforts.  

The era of "everything prints money on Airbnb" is LONG GONE! 

There is definitely more too it than just the money that goes in.

If you find something that works well as a short-term rental, but doesn't work well for you as a home, you'll have money but be dissatisfied when you live there.You don't even need it to produce a profit.

Good morning Carl, @David Krulac is right on the money. 

But rule number 1 and 2 in investing is don’t lose money.
