For this reason instead of sticking to SFH, I have began running numbers on Duplexes which cash flow much better but I feel like it will be more difficult to find one with equity since they are valued differently.So my question is if I should shoot for the stars with a duplex that cash flows really well and has equity I can use a year after it is purchased or a SFH that may not cash flow as well but has much more equity.

The pros, the cons, what goes into making that quick of a decision, and what would stop an investor from pulling the trigger.I've had many investors with wide ranges of experience buying sight unseen, but with others they have to see it in person even when the stars align on a deal and they end up missing out because it sells before they can see it.Share your stories, whether they're horror stories or the best decisions of your life.

Since we just listed this house recently, all I care about is 5 star reviews.

Now that we are established with all 5 star reviews on AirBNB and VRBO, May and Sept are usually booked solid as well.

It would include the listing with 120 5 star reviews and processes/procedures already in place (housekeeper and maintenance folks all in place).

Keep networking to find that team of all-stars! 

Great threadI am a believer, been playing in this market for over 12 monthsHowever unless you have all the stars aligned you will very quickly go from a cashflow position to negativeWhat does this mean?

You as the buyer are of course paying a premium for this just as you're paying a premium to get a steak cooked for you at a 5 star restaurant.

Over all I give the book a 4 out of 5-star review for the average investor and a must read review for any non-investor. 

I additionally procured a 5 star luxury hotel flag developer and joint venture partner who committed to fund $300,000,000+/- debt and equity to complete the project.
