I have stayed at Airbnb's in Rome and Naples, and there are Airbnbs of course, but you really need to speak and learn the system.

If you're looking for appreciation you should stay in Vegas.

First time in 3 years we have had to file a claim with over 150 airbnb stays.

Most owners are local and therefore “hot” money or out of area players are not yet chasing Pittsburgh assets, keeping prices favorable.References United States Census Bureauhttp://www.cmu.edu/news/stories/archives/2017/august/economic-impact-report.htmlMarcus & Millichap 2017 Multifamily Investment Forecast2017 Commercial Real Estate Trends Report by Integra Realty Resourceshttp://www.pittsburghmagazine.com/Pittsburgh-Magazine/September-2017/Staying-CMU-All-Eyes-on-Carnegie-Mellons-Future/http://www.nextpittsburgh.com/features/pittsburgh-developments-watch-2017/

By providing the necessary funding and covering renovation expenses, we ensured the project stayed on track and within budget, leading to a profitable outcome.

I also have a $50k line of credit I can tap into when needed that will grow as I keep growing the business.Right now my rent is about $1700 where I've been staying for over a year, but really wanting to trade that for a mortgage and start building that equity.

Also no credit reporting, so I signed up for Landlord Credit Bureau at my expense.Hope this helps, for now I’ll be staying with Hemlane.

I'd rather stay out of the way and let professionals do their thing.  

Generally if people are in town they stay with me till they have to go.Everyone wins.The downside is if you get a bad apple in the house it can and will spoil the entire bunch.

Years ago I spent many months working in Indianapolis and staying at the Canal Street apartments.
