For comparison:10-yard dumpster: Holds approximately 3-4 pickup truck loads.20-yard dumpster: Holds approximately 6-8 pickup truck loads.Depending on how much debris you estimate (6 doors, carpet, flooring, old trim), an 11-yard dumpster might be sufficient.Cost Considerations: Dumpster rental costs can vary widely based on location, duration of rental, and the company you choose. $400 for a 2-day rental of an 11-yard dumpster might seem high, but it’s important to consider what’s included (delivery, pickup, disposal fees) and whether there are any weight limits.Alternative Options:Bagster Bags: These are large, disposable bags that you fill with debris and arrange for pickup.Junk Removal Services: Some companies specialize in hauling away specific types of debris.

Watching people leave the doors wide open.

We have a huge number of people entering the market with even single/double wide's being listed as STRs, I think it's going to take 12-18 months to flush out a lot of these listings where people have obviously not run their numbers.

Hi Jessenia,I've been in the game for quite some time and have many battle scars to prove it lolMy best advice would be to always look at a worst case scenario and start from that.By starting with a worst case scenario you will be able to quicker eliminate markets that aren't a good fit.I don't know much about NY but personally, I wouldn't invest in any market that takes 6 months or even worse longer to evict.Worst case scenario for example = Tenant doesn't pay rent and trashes the property.I would want to be able to evict, fix and re-tenant as quickly as possible.Time is money and I want to keep moving forward and not deal with financial and emotional drag.There are many markets nation wide that are landlord friendly.My business is based on Ohio and there is no mercy for non payment of rent.Eviction usually takes 6 weeks max and although I never want to evict, being able to do so quickly minimizes risk of that investment.Thanks 

I am particularly interested in purchasing my first investment property as a short-term rental (STR).After analyzing recent data from AirDNA, I have identified several promising areas: Douglas, Saugatuck, Fennville, and I am also exploring opportunities around Stevensville and New Buffalo.I understand that regulations around STRs vary widely, and I've taken the time to study city maps to identify areas where they are still permitted.
