Designed for STR, reasonable, intuitive, great support.

Once you get through move in, the day to day management is pretty hands off and easy (famous last words, but so far, so good).Other than that, get a second opinion/eye from someone you trust - preferably a professional designer - on the furnishings and design.

For design, it really depends on your preference? 

Mainly I’m trying to avoid “aged poorly design” glassblock walls, small bedrooms, older windows (wood/aluminum, single pane), aluminum patio covers, and to a lesser extent landscaping.

However, I do agree that there is a problematic trend of guru's falling in love with "creative" without understanding the big picture.

As it's designed specifically for out of country investors (Shenjumiaosuan / RENOSY). 

While Quickbooks is great, it's not a software designed for real estate investors like Baselane is.

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

First thing to consider is what was the original foundation design and can it hold a second story to a home.

No specific reason, just seems like cities that are trending upward and a price point I can potentially cashflow and appreciate with.
