We could work backwards from the condo's upper tier pricing (that you would likely get into contract at) and backwards calculate how much income you're going to need to qualify given the probability of how the rest of your rental income and liabilities will be caluclated.We do these calculations (plan A, B, C, etc) on a daily basis.

AJ, any input on the daily rates in AirDNA?

You have to know your market competition from every angle (price, offerings, perks, marketing, quality of furniture, neighborhood etc) You can overcome negative reviews if you do a lot of volume, that is almost a given to not be able to make everyone happy or foresee every issue a guest may have.

Once you have the difference, assuming that both options fully pay the mortgage, consider wether or not all the little tasks you do daily while self managing are worth the extra income.

It will speak volumes. #3) See Above#4) Again, consult with a professional but some of the obvious differences that come to mind would be the needed coverage for your contents (personal/business property) as well as the liability differences. #5) We cannot speak to the claims questions.

It is important to have eyes on pricing daily in my opinion. 

We offered them 25% rent reduction in daily rent throughout the course of the 3 day repair, but they have countered with expecting a full days rent reduced for each day.

I'd personally rather stay at a hotel in BBL with daily service, cleaning and staff that I can talk to. 

I did some research on BP via reviews on realtors that were in the Cleveland market and met on teams/zoom and chose the one I felt was most trustworthy solely based on volume of good reviews, some social media presence, and other factors that provided value to me.I got into investing after reading about section 8. 

Just don't manage it.I'm not sure there is enough volume on a 10+.
