My question is how long do you personally wait to see how your Airbnb venture is going to go until strongly contemplating long term?

If this is a very angry person you might also consult a lawyer on your options should they threaten you personally. 

If you really want it, for whatever personal reasons, do your due diligence.

I personally have nothing but nightmare and horror stories, not necessarily problems with the tenants, just problems with the procedures and the paperwork, poor communication from the HUD caseworker etc... 

This may be an overly ambitious strategy considering that I am inexperienced in both DIY and sales contracts, but in theory it seems like a very efficient option.

My personal preference is warm white - the ones that look like a tungsten light. 

Exploring out-of-state options for a duplex can be a viable strategy, but it's important to weigh the pros and cons based on your financial situation, investment objectives, and personal preferences.

If I wind up in a pinch then I’ll dip into my personal cash reserves.  

Always personally take a picture of the dog before lease is signed.

@Chi SastryYou need to define "good market" Franklin TN for example is the best market in the entire world if you want to live there personally.
