The rental had ratty furniture, a record player prominently featured in the marketing but it had no speakers, missing basics items in the kitchen, lots of drunks in the concrete hallways that reverberated right into the bedroom at 2am, a strong odor of urine outside, and more.We have super hosts in this forum that have hundreds of 5-star reviews and are masters of the craft, but I look at their rentals and see they don't have any artwork on the walls, decor is basic, they do nothing to make the guest feel welcome, etc. 

I have seen these circumstances; people die, go out and buy a car, lose their job, etc… Just my own two cents, I’m not an attorney, just play one on TV

I would say you need to play to your strengths, whatever those might be.

Meet the players. 

Yes we tried everything, and Yes I know now that wasn't the best play haha. 

My nephew when to Cornell and played football. 

@Tyler MageeHey Tyler, with you being in Tampa and have 150k to play with, the possibilities are endless!

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay HinrichsGreat points - yes many are from here on BP such as a bearded guy, a guy who threatened to sue a LP and still doesn’t respond according to his investors, two other “note funds” one investing in skidrow homes and the other in broadway plays….

Looking for a long term play with rent stability more than making huge cash flow.
